Pleasant weather throughout the year is one of the main reasons for its popularity among tourist undertaking Silk Route. Our Padamchen Resort is best homestay in Silk Route Sikkim with all modern amenities. 

Padamchen – The Gateway to the Silk Route

About Padamchen

 

Nestled at an elevation of 8,000 ft, Padamchen is a quaint village on the historic Silk Route circuit, located just 14 km from Rongli and 4 km from Zuluk. Often referred to as Lower Zuluk, it is surrounded by dense alpine forests that add to its charm.

Unlike the higher reaches of Zuluk which experience heavy snowfall and extreme cold, Padamchen enjoys pleasant weather throughout the year. This makes it a popular stopover for travelers who wish to soak in the beauty of the Silk Route without braving harsh climatic conditions.

From Padamchen, one can witness spectacular sunrises and panoramic views of the Kanchenjunga range, winding mountain roads, lush valleys, and forested slopes. The region is also a bird watcher’s paradise, with numerous Himalayan species found in the surrounding woodlands.

Staying at Padamchen offers both comfort and scenic delight. From the balcony of a homestay, visitors can wake up to the sight of the first rays of the sun touching the Himalayan peaks – a truly unforgettable experience.


Dense forests surrounding Padamchen is home to a huge bird population like Laughing thrushes, Fulvettas, Honey Buzzards, Steppe Eagles, Babblers, Tits, Wrens and others. If you venture  deeper regions of the forest occasional visitors like Himalayan Black Bear, Red Panda and Mountain Leopards can be sighted. Staying at homestay in Padamchen, you can go to watch the sunrise over Mt. Kanchenjungha range from Thambi View Point (around 18 kms away) at 11,200 feet. Kuikhola falls is just a few minutes drive from Padamchen. In between October and March when temperature is biting cold in upper areas like Zuluk and Gnathang Valley tourists prefer to stay our Padamchen homestay and explore the upper areas till the roads are motorable and not closed due to snowfall.

Activities From Padamchen Homestay

Padamchen, a serene village on the historic Silk Route of East Sikkim, offers a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. At an altitude of 8,000 feet, this hamlet is surrounded by dense alpine forests and mist-covered hills, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both peace and adventure.


One of the most popular activities in Padamchen is experiencing the sunrise over the Kanchenjunga range. The early morning sky turns golden as the sun’s rays fall on the majestic peaks, creating a magical view that can often be enjoyed right from the balcony of a homestay. Photography enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to capture these breathtaking landscapes.


For nature lovers, Padamchen is a bird watcher’s paradise. The surrounding forests are home to a wide variety of Himalayan birds, making it an exciting spot for birding and wildlife photography. Short nature walks and forest trails allow visitors to immerse themselves in the fresh mountain air while discovering the unique flora and fauna of the region.


Travelers can also engage in village walks and interact with the locals to get a glimpse of traditional Sikkimese life and hospitality. Staying in homestays adds to this cultural experience, allowing tourists to enjoy local cuisine and customs.


Padamchen also serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions of the Silk Route, such as Zuluk, Thambi View Point, Lungthung, Nathang Valley, Kupup Lake, and Nathula Pass. After a day of sightseeing, evenings in Padamchen are best spent in relaxation, enjoying the calm environment or indulging in stargazing, as the clear mountain skies offer spectacular views of the stars.


In short, activities in Padamchen range from peaceful nature experiences to adventurous explorations, making it a must-visit destination on the Silk Route circuit.

Birdlife of the Silk Route Region

The high mountain passes of  Nathu La and Jelep La serve as important migration corridors for waterbirds, many of which make stopovers at the pristine wetlands of this region, particularly Bedang Tso Lake. The lake’s name itself is linked to birds, as it was once frequented by the vibrant  Himalayan Monal (Lophophorus impejanus), locally known as Feydong. At times, the skies witness a spectacular  mass migration of raptors, including Red Kites (Milvus milvus) and several species of eagles.


The  Sherathang marshes are a crucial breeding ground for the striking  Brahminy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea). Other notable avian residents include the  Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola) and the globally threatened Wood Snipe (Gallinago nemoricola), which can sometimes be seen foraging along the banks of Bedang Tso. During snowy winters,  Hill Pigeons (Columba rupestris) are often observed perched on the chimneys of village houses. On the alpine slopes, birdwatchers may spot the Snow Pigeon (Columba leuconota), Snow Partridge (Lerwa lerwa), Gold-naped Black Finch (Pyrrhoplectes epauletta), and again the iconic Himalayan Monal.


The Pangolakha range has also yielded rare sightings: in 1994, the Pallas’s Fish-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucoryphus) was recorded, while Large Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) and Bar-headed Geese (Anser indicus) were documented at Bedang Tso in 1992.


Of particular importance is the Tibetan Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon harmani), a Near Threatened species, reported near Kupup, below Jelep La. This species inhabits broadleaf-coniferous forests, rhododendron thickets, juniper scrublands, and alpine grasslands. The region also shelters the Giant Babax (Babax waddelli), another Near Threatened bird, making the area a valuable Important Bird Area (IBA).


Together, these habitats—wetlands, forests, and alpine slopes—make the Silk Route not just a cultural landmark but also a biodiversity hotspot for birdlife.

About Our Homestay | Premium Village Resort

Our homestay at Padamchen is situated just 100 meters above the forest check-post, at an altitude of 8,000 ft. Nestled amidst alpine forests and rolling hills, it is the perfect blend of comfort and traditional Sikkimese hospitality. The two-storied building is built along the slope of the hill, making it both unique and scenic.


The entrance is conveniently located just below the parking area, ensuring easy access for travelers. The first level features five cozy rooms along with an open dining space that overlooks a balcony, offering stunning views of the valleys and surrounding forests. The second level houses four rooms with a large common balcony, ideal for enjoying early morning sunrises or evening relaxation.


While the structure is modern and contemporary, it retains a warm, homely charm. Guests can enjoy all essential amenities such as attached western-style bathrooms, 24-hour running water, geysers, and room heaters, making it one of the most comfortable stays along the Silk Route. Unlike a typical hotel with formal service, here you stay with a local family, experience their culture firsthand, and relish delicious home-cooked food. This personal touch makes the stay even more memorable.


Another key advantage of staying at Padamchen is its altitude. Unlike higher destinations on the Silk Route such as Zuluk, Gnathang, or Kupup (12,000 ft and above), where basic amenities like geysers or continuous water supply may be unavailable due to extreme cold, Padamchen provides a more reliable and comfortable base. In addition, Rongli town, which has the nearest medical facilities, is close by, making Padamchen a safer and more convenient choice, especially for senior tourists or families traveling with children.


With its scenic beauty, homely warmth, and modern comforts, our homestay is undoubtedly one of the best accommodations on the Silk Route.
