The Retreat - Home Stay in Kolbong Forest, Noam Forest - , India

We had booked the retreat for 2 days. We were 6 people, the location is out of the world with a mesmerizing view of the Kanchenjunga from the rooms. Food was good as per hilly region, washroom is too small for 2 families with no proper drainage. One thing can be improved and that is service because there is one caretaker who only cooks and keeps it on the table and disappears, he said he works for both eco hut and retreat, no provision of cleaning rooms and washrooms which is pathetic.

The Retreat is a 3 room cottage in Jhandi. Its only rented out to one group irrespective of the number to ensure privacy of the guests. The cottage is super cosy, very neat and clean and located in the sleepy hamlet of Jhandi. Travelers looking for peace and quiet will find the The Retreat to be simply amazing. Food is nice and simple and very reasonably priced. Jhandi overall is an amazing place with great natural beauty and Staying in this cottage makes the experience wonderful. Highly recommended from my end.

Far from the madding crowd, The Retreat is magnificent, cozy, ideal for 5-6 closely knitted people. Immediately greeting us on our arrival, the drawing room paints our mind with the effortless touches of a few artistic frames, exquisitely curated by the owner. Kanchenjhangha is visible even from bed through the rear window at the ground floor. And there are people around, always ready to provide services. Mesmerizing experience.

The Retreat - Jhandi is very much popular among the tourists. A smooth check-in/check-out process, flexible policies and friendly management garner great customer satisfaction for this property. The Homestay has standard Check-In time as 12:00 PM and Check-Out time as 12:00 PM.

Absolutely fabulous place. Caretaker is super helpful. Food is awesome. View from cottage is splendid and if you are in luck(no clouds), kanchanjangha can be viewed from bed. Only con is that water pressure is too low because of the water storage hight. Also be prepared to feel the chill upto your bones in winter. Its too cold..

A speechless feeling to stay here. If you love both the hill and silence, then this can be an ideal place for you. "The Retreat" will provide you the entire cottage in rent so that you can feel "at home" out of your home. The decoration, the planning reflects the cultural taste of the owner. It is really hard to understand the feeling from other's experience unless you yourself be there.

Fantastic property with 3 dbl bed room and 2 toilets. Spectacular view of mountains from balcony. Food is very tasty.

A beautifully decorated cottage by the cliff, surrounded by beautiful pine forest gave us a quaint feeling. The place was so calm and quiet that you can listen to your heartbeats besides the chirping of birds. The cottage comprised of a large Drawing-cum-Dining Hall, 3 Glass Bedrooms, 1 Kitchen and 2 Washrooms. The cottage in-houses two balconies where you can just simply grab a chair and relax, watch birds or experiencing the mist taking over among the tranquil mother nature. However, everything being in a single cottage, The Retreat is only suitable for a group or family, as they do not allow reservations for the rooms separately. So you have to reserve the whole property. Well, Sintu Da, follows this throughout all his other properties like in Mousuni Island, GPlot etc. He believes in exclusive access of the place so that you can enjoy among yourselves without worrying about any other nuisance. Regarding the meals, you can either opt for daily meal package which covers Morning Tea/Coffee, Breakfast, Lunch (Egg/Fish), Evening Tea/Coffee & Snacks and Dinner (Chicken). It costs Rs. 450/- per head. Or else if you wish you can order on a-la-carte basis from the menu. The fooding is taken care of by Jhandi Eco Huts only, so the same menu as theirs.
