Sanu Homestay

Sikkim


With a minor cult following, Sanu's place has very simple bare floorboard rooms but great food, fine views and it's shaded by papaya trees, halfway up the pedestrians-only 'old road' between lower Tashiding and the gompa.

It's one of four options in the attractive hamlet of Dodam, which consists of mostly traditional wooden houses.
