Netuk House

Netuk House is more than just a palatial homestay in Gangtok. Perched on an elevated part of Tibet Road, Netuk House is an edifice of an architecturally chanting complex with a riveting account of history and tradition. Built in the late 1950's, the house belonged to Gellong Netuk Lama, an executive counselor to the then Chogyal (Monarch). Tibet Road, as the name suggests was the principal route for travellers and traders heading up to Tibet. Most of the commuters were silk traders involved in the historic Silk Route Trade. Netuk House began offering hospitality and provided a transit point for these travellers. That marked the beginning. Even with the inevitable changes in geography, history and politics, Netuk House still stands today as a homestay for those seeking the traditional hospitality with an opulent accommodation and food.The distinctive feature of Netuk House are the beautiful views of Mt. Kanchenjunga from the proeprty and perhaps the proximity to the MG, the main market place in Gangtok. The service is really good and you feel like you are staying in a far away retreat even though the homestay is right in the middle of Gangtok.
