Our reservation included both breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was made up of the usual... More

We had a great time in Rumtek / Gangtok. The hotel is very well designed and the rooms were nice with the balcony facing mountains greenery all around, well furnished and clean. The food, service and behaviour of staff is excellent. This is the place you are at heaven of north east india.
