Shakti Sikkim Hee Village House

At a slightly higher altitude (6500 ft / 1980 m) than the other Shakti villages, the Shakti Sikkim Hee Village House offers stunning views of Mt. Kanchenjunga and has a cosy, intimate atmosphere. This rustic village house has been updated with some modern comforts and transformed into a welcoming  Himalayan hideaway that is comprised of three wood-panelled rooms and a separate ablution block fitted with western toilet and a shower room for bucket showers (with running hot and cold water). Both bedrooms at Hee Village House are equipped with comfortable mattresses and bedside-tables, while the pleasingly decorated living room/dining room features local artwork and is furnished with comfy sofas and chairs made from cane. This is the is the perfect place to relax at the end of a day’s walking in the Himalaya, admire the views, and enjoy a glass (or two). Complimentary Indian wines, beers and soft drinks are included during your stay. Breakfasts and afternoon tea with biscuits are served in the veranda, while picnic lunches are arranged by the friendly staff as you walk from one village to another. Dinner is prepared upon consultation with guests and is usually a mix of Sikkimese (momos, noodles that are not too spicy) and Indian cuisine. Please note that in accordance with local custom shoes must be left outside the rooms or on the shoe rack in the living room. Guests should be aware that this region experiences erratic power supply and whilst back-up generators provide emergency lighting and hot water, we advise all guests to keep a torch (provided by your guide) handy. Extra blankets and hot water bottles can be provided upon request. While the village house is modest it represents a considerable upgrade to the mobile camping experience and offers a superb chance to experience the local lifestyle of the Eastern Himalaya. Shakti Sikkim - Hee Village House is booked on exclusive fully staffed basis and comes complete woth the services of a private guide, chef, jeep with driver and porters.
