I went many offbeat hill places throughout my life, but the Rocky Top Retreat, it's surprised me. When I reached there, actually from my cottage, I felt, I was on top of all mountains. Breathtaking over the top 360 digre mountain view, mesmerising sunrise and sunset, at night, moon was very nearer to me. Walking through the property was like a happy adventure. There was a hanging seating area where you can sit all throughout the day and feel the peace of mind and presence of original beautiful nature. Owners of the property are really lovely, kind hearted, hardworking and gentle people. They always eager to help you if that needed. I personally felt like, I came to my relative house. I stayed there three days and it was really enjoyable. ~ Souravendra U
Me & my husband checked in for 2 days on 23rd & 24th december 2024. Our visit to rocky top retreat is very recent. Unlike other usual homestays this homestay or retreat is quite costly but what I have experienced is that if you want to get a well maintained, clean, safe, hassle free, perfect view & staycation for yourself then Rocky Top Retreat is the choice. They are classy not massy. This homestay has a 180 degree mountain view & kanchenjunga view too with lush green organic farming of vegetables & flowers by the property owner. We were more than satisfied with the top notch service by the staff & hospitality of our dear Rumki Di. We recommend each and everyone to visit this place to feel the serenity & get absolute homely atmosphere of this wonderful retreat. ~ Sreya A
The staycation at Rocky Top Retreat Sinji,Kalimpong was the most beautiful experience we had in our most favourite travel destination.The property is wonderful and the facilities provided are worth commending. The hotel offered a marvellous view of Kanchenjunga, providing a breathtaking backdrop to the entire experience. The delicious food exceeded my expectations, and the wonderful facilities added to the overall charm of the stay. The peaceful and serene atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of town, made it an ideal getaway. The owner's jolly demeanor added a personal touch, making the stay even more enjoyable.Top-notch facilities rounded off the experience, creating lasting memories of a truly rejuvenating retreat.Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of serenity, culinary delight, with wonderful facilities. ~ Shemonti C
A perfectly serene staycation for the persons who want to spend some moments away from hustle and bustle of the popular travel destinations. I just want to appreciate the taste of the Homestay owner about the location. At one side snow-clad mighty Kanchanjungha and the view of green mountain series on the other! Such a vast view is generally less found. Experiencing the sunset view from the little cute umbrella point was my favourite one indeed! The overall arrangement inside the Geodesic Dome was nice giving a cozy & comfy feeling. I had an amazing hospitality & warm welcome from the owner Rumki di & her husband.The food including the tea could be a bit improved as per the price, it's my only suggestion. I'll definitely make a plan for visiting this place post-monsoon to enjoy the greenery to the fullest. You guys also give it a try 👍 ~ Ananya C
A perfect getaway for 1-2 nights - far away from city chaos and pollution! Amazing view of Mt. Kanchenjunga and a truly starry sky. Perks? Good food, good people, very cute doggo Rustik and view worth living! Located on top of a hill, we nestled in their European style cottage. The host is stern because she needs to be so as she runs it by herself, but friendly. Enjoy their hospitality and relax. It's clean, service is okay but the help is nice. Food is homemade so you can recuperate very well. PS- Given that it's very close to nature and a homestay, it's not suited for people who wanna get sloshed with friends. It's best for those who want to enjoy nature in it's natural form, whilst having lux stay. ~ Aveeshikta C
I recently stayed at Homestay (Rocky Top Retreat, Sinji) and had an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the owner was incredibly hospitable. The check-in process was quick, and they even offered us a complimentary welcome drink, which was really refreshing. The Geodesic Dome was spotless, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. The homestay's location is perfect – with the view of River, Valley, Mountains and view of the Kangchenjunga peak on a clear sky day. Overall, I highly recommend Rocky Top Retreat for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and well-located homestay with excellent service. I will definitely be back next time. ~ Arpita D

I travelled to Sinji just to stay im RTR. We stayed at the geodesic dome. The view from the dome was awesome. The rooms we clean and there was the facility of coolers and fan also available. The bathroom was also clean. The food was also of a great quality and taste kudos to the chef. The ambience was also great with a lot of flowers planted all over the property. The hosts were very kind hearted and they had a lovely dog with whom we played. Overall it was a lovely experience. In Short - Location - 10/10 Room cleanliness - 10/10 Bathroom cleanliness - 10/10 View - 11/10 Food - 10/10 Host Behaviour - 10/10 ~ Shubham G
This is one of the very few stays that houses two Geodesic domes amongst other forms of room. It gives the most wonderful glamping experience. Ms. Rumki and her husband are warm and accommodating people and ensures an overall immersive experience. We stayed there for 3 nights and came back wanting for more. It is literally on the top of the hill so you may want to also engage in short distance hikes as a part of the experience. It's 3 hours from Bagdogra and 4 hours from Darjeeling. Kalimpong is around 1.5 hours. Food is sumptuous and you may always request for your choice. Please remember, this will truly give you a feeling of disconnect with the world, with the breathtaking views and the starlit skies, which means it's also isolated and food options are limited outside the retreat. They have all basic amenities like geyser, electric kettle, pedestal fan ( not really required in winter), and a gorgeous gorgeous view! Did I say view?! ~ Ishani S
This is so heart breaking to see such negative comments given below for this lovely property. I am a mountain lover and trust me, the kind of view you can experience there will be mind-blowing. The owner of this place are very jolly and a lovely couple who always go extra mile to make your stay memorable. Lady is a very good cook and you can ask her to prepare dish according to your wish. Try Katla Paturi and cup cake in desert is must. Their helpers are very supportive and helped us by carrying out luggage till our room. From Dome, you will get the best view but all room are good in their own way. Enjoy the view while having lunch and breakfast from their glasshouse dining room. This place is for pure lyadh khawa with some amazing view. While leaving this place even my driver said " Sir itna jagah north Bengal me ghuma par ye kuch alag hi tha". Last but not the least, try to be little friendly with that naughty dog, and he will make sure you have all the fun. There is a say " when a dog loves man, he is a good man". Peace out 🖖🖖 ~ Subhamay C
A Magical Stay in a Geodesic Dome at The Rocky Top Retreat. Our recent stay in a geodesic dome was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, the unique design of the dome transported us to a harmonious blend of modern architecture and nature. The panoramic views through the large, clear panels were breathtaking, especially at sunset. The food was absolutely delightful—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with love. Every meal felt like a comforting home-cooked treat, showcasing the local cuisine at its best! What stood out most was how the dome seamlessly integrated with the surrounding environment. Being able to stargaze from the comfort of our bed was an unforgettable experience. It felt as though we were both indoors and outdoors at the same time. The hosts were attentive and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat, this geodesic dome stay at Rocky Top Retreat is truly a hidden gem. We can’t wait to return! ~ Raghav P

This is my fourth spot after many renowned stays in offbeat. I felt sweet memory of my last destination at Rocky Top Retreat will remain in my mind for long. The scenic beauty is awesome with the behaviour and personal touch of staffs are praisable. The food taste and the homeliness is best from all other stays. I suggest people who loves to stay in serenity and homely clean place, to visit this stay. ~ Deepak B
It was one of our memorable staycations. The Property is really well maintained and the facilities offered is one of the best at its category. Rooms were clean with marvelous view of Mt. Kanchenjunga. The concept and designs of this property is pretty commendable at an off-beat location like Sinji. Would highly recommend to the persons interested to visit this property, as the experience is going to be pretty awesome. Food is also really good. ~ Chiradeep R
Awesome Experience with home like hospitality and behavior from uncle and aunty (The Owners). Excellent Rooms and delicious food are the USP of this homestay. Special mention for Rusty who always played with us. Who that is? For that you need to come here and stay in this picturesque Homestay with Kanchenjungha Sunset and Sunrise view. Thanks for Everything. I will take back the memories with me. Felt Like Home.. ~ Debapriyo M
Just visited this place and left with a tons of memories to cheer untill I visit next time. The owners are the real gem. Their behaviour, their hosting will make you that you're at your home. Night views will amaze you, and on a clear morning the view of Kunchenjunga is just 👌. If anyone wants a Deluxe property to relax yourself then just pack your bags and 🏃 ~ Soumik R
I always liked to visit off-beat places and find Rocky Top one of them. Scenario surrounding the area, is really awesome. Really thanks to the owners for a lovely time during our stay. Behaviour of their staff along with owners is really praiseable. We will definitely remember this visit, specially owners. So those who really wanted to visit offbeat places, please visit once. ~ Limon D
Stayed at the property during 25-27 December, 2024. Beautifully located at the highest point of Sinji village in Kalimpong District. One can get majestic views of the mighty Kanchenjunga from their Geodesic domes and A-Frame European style cottage. The food is good. The staff and the owners are very considerate and accomodating. Perfect place to unwind for a few days. ~ Ashique M

Last week I visited this property with my girlfriends..we took one cottage and one tent for seven people..the rooms , ambience and the view..everything was on point ..we had barbecue as well (though the chicken could be a bit more delicious)... the stay was worth of every penny..and the owners of this property was also very friendly and jovial person.. ~ Aditi N
I would definitely love to recommend this homestay to my friends and family. ✅ The owner and staff were very polite and well-behaved. ✅ The rooms were clean and well-maintained. ✅ The food quality was good, with a variety of snack options available. A BBQ option was available in the evening, but I didn’t like the taste much. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. 👍 ~ Avishek M
I am staying here at present. It is my first time to stay in a pod. Awesome experience. Surrounded by the mountains, a place so serene, a person could not have asked for more. The staff were friendly and helpful. And, at last but not the least, the hostess. She is so caring, I felt at home. I am very happy to choose this place. But unfortunately Kanchan da (Kanchanjangha) didn't show up😭 ~ indranil s
Went to Rocky Top Retreat with friends, family and had a great time there. It's a very good place with beautiful panoramic views of the Himalayas. It's quite budget friendly too. Definitely give it a try especially if someone wants to explore new homestays and new destinations ~ moumita g
