MEMORABLE INSIGHTS

The Tallest Statue approx. 135 ft. of Guru Padmasambhava, the first patron St. of Sikkim, situated at Samdruptse, Namchi, South Sikkim.

A short guided soft trek will take you to the razor sharp edge of humongous cliff Taray Bhir. While you are soaking-in the panorama, your heart will soar across Teesta and Rungeet rivers flowing 4000 feet below, to the view of Kalimpong perched on the saddle between Durpin and Delo hills; and Darjeeling seated on the Lebong spur.

Oblivious of your excitement, a herd of territorial wild mountain goats - jharals (hemitragus jemlahicus) or gorals (naemorhedus) may come browsing your toes from below and assert their domain from your walk on the wild side. You will raise your hat to sapient Sikkim for conserving all these and more ... you will also thank the incumbent Rural Development Department for the sturdy cliff hanger railing.

Another hill walk with a local English speaking guide will take you up to the highest point above Turuk from where one can have a different perspective of the Himalayas. You can stroll through the village and have a glimpse of simple lifestyle of the people. You might get lucky to watch them busying themselves with their handicraft and even be offered to buy some. Sharing a moment and a hot mug of black tea in any of their homes will be welcome.

Sight seeing trips to nearby tourist locations in Sikkim can be organized conveniently by the resort front desk using vehicles owned by comparatively more enterprising villagers of Turuk, thereby helping the local economy. The same vehicles can come and pick you up from Bagdogra Airport or New Jalpaiguri Railway station and bring you to TURUK KOTHI HERITAGE HOME and at the end of your stay here, can also drop you back.

The resort front desk can help organize services like cultural dances, trekking guides, white water rafting trips, vehicles for sight seeing trips, pick up from and drop back to airport or railway station at actual costs payable to those service providers.


The back hill slope is ideal for short trek towards Rani Ban with lush green vegetation and rare medicinal plants. The aroma of wild flowers and the humming of bees and cherping of birds fills the air as you ascend uphill which refreshes your mind and soul.


The view of the sun setting from Taray Bhir, over the horizon is simply breathtaking.
