NotOnMap - Lum Tshering Organic Farmstay

The house is completely built with Bamboo and straw, traditionally designed by the Lepcha communities with 2 rooms with double beds and attached bathrooms. The room opens up into the orange plantations. Inhabitants of the village lead a self-sustained lifestyle like most other Sikkimese do. They cultivate their own food using organic manure and live stocks are grass-fed and also fed with maize The space Local people in Lum, produce oranges on a large scale along with other vegetables. The food is mostly slow cooked. Chee (made from fermenting millets) and Aarack (made from Cinnamon plant) are the locally brewed liquors and are completely organic. The use of Bamboo for the construction of their homes can be seen evidently as it is a great substitute for plastic, steel and cement for housing. Other things to note The homestay is in Lum Village of Lower Dzongu. This place is 35 Km from Mangan
