On reaching Lachen we went straight to this place as nothing else would come even half as close. And it was not a bad decision. The rooms are cosy (though a bit cold), and the resort itself is excellent. Food is very tasty and though the tariff is steep it includes all meals. But no tea or snacks. Staff very... More

It was the second hotel in my itinerary after my stay in Gangtok & same like Gangtok's case I had opted for it after going thru TripAdvisor reviews. And boy what a place in such an inaccessible area. We had only stayed for a night since we were to proceed to gurudongmar the next day which unfortunately got cancelled due... More

1. Quoted as the "Best Property" in Lachen by the Travel Agents - which is VERY TRUE 2. The normal Sikkim Travel itinerary covers ONLY One Night in Lachen... which is NOT at all enough.. Please make sure to have an extended stay of two nights minimum... 3. We arrived Apple Orchard quite late and were to leave early morning... More

Deep in the Himalayas in Sikkim is located this quaint hotel in the Lachen valley, an excellent starting point for the sacred Gurudongmar lake in North Sikkim. The little hotel is run by a friendly staff eager to fulfill your needs. Placed in an apple orchard with stunning views, this surely must be closest you can get to paradise on... More

We stayed for one night on 27th may 2011. But we wish we could stayed some more nights there. Staff was friendly, specially manager, who was taking personal care of each and every guest. Great experience :-) More

The path to the hotel makes one nervous about the property, but as soon as one steps into their reception room with the large TV, the ambience puts you at rest and prepares you for the good times ahead. Welcomed by brandy/rum and followed by hot steaming herbal tea you lose all the tiredness of the long journey from Gangtok... More

This is certainly the best hotel we have seen in North Sikkim. Lachen is already preferable to Lachung, very nice village and wonderful views. These views are best enjoyed from this hotel. The rooms are extremely spacious and nicely decorated. Good bathrooms, warm water on very short supply, though. Heating is a big problem. There is no heating in the... More

This place was so much different. The first this that hits your mind when you reach this place is that you could listen to nature. As we went while the rainy season was nearing its end, we could hear the water dropping every where. The noise of creatures. Lots of chillness, and this wonderful cottage sort of rooms. The rooms...
