Homestay in Lamahatta vs Oak Retreat | Step Into a More Comfortable, Peaceful Mountain Stay
Best Mountain Stay Near Darjeeling
Warm, intimate, and surrounded by nature, Lamahatta is known for its peaceful charm and scenic beauty. Many travellers search for a homestay in Lamahatta to experience this calm environment. While homestays offer simplicity and a local touch, they may not always provide the comfort, privacy, and consistency that today’s travellers expect from a truly relaxing mountain stay.
The Oak Retreat offers a more refined alternative, where you stay close to nature without compromising on comfort or thoughtful design. Located at 5,700 feet and just 22 km from Darjeeling, it is set amidst misty pine forests with stunning views of the Kanchenjunga range.

The interiors blend simplicity with comfort, offering king-size beds, soft ambient lighting, and cosy seating areas. Modern attached bathrooms with 24/7 hot water, along with amenities like Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, and a tea and coffee maker, ensure a smooth stay.
