Koko Mhendo Homestay

Welcome to Koko Mhendo Homestay, a serene retreat nestled in the picturesque village of Baramangwa Busty in Darjeeling. Baramangwa is a quaint village located in the Darjeeling district, on the western side of the Kalimpong hills, within the Teesta Valley. This newfound destination has captured the interest of many travelers, offering a glimpse into rural life in the Himalayan Kingdom. With the magnificent view of Mt Kanchenjunga and the Teesta Valley as the backdrop of the vast orange orchards, Baramangwa has ensnared the hearts of nature lovers. The name of this picturesque hamlet is derived from the Lepcha language, where Bara Mangwa means ‘A big place of finger millet’. At Koko Mhendo Homestay, every aspect of our establishment is steeped in cultural significance. Our name, "Koko Mhendo," pays homage to the revered flower used by the Tamang tribe of Nepal and India in religious ceremonies such as pujas, birthdays, and marriages. Just as this flower symbolizes worship and celebration in the Tamang culture, our homestay embodies the warmth, hospitality, and traditions of this vibrant community. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas, Koko Mhendo Homestay offers a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of the region while experiencing authentic Tamang hospitality. Come, join us, and let the spirit of Koko Mhendo envelop you in an unforgettable cultural journey.
