Quo Vadis Farm

A gorgeous house with a well‑furnished garden sits in a quiet, peaceful setting. The owner is extremely welcoming and helpful, and they cook delicious meals using fresh ingredients straight from the garden. It’s the perfect getaway far from the crowds.

We left Quo Vadis feeling completely refreshed. Saknim, the host, has a calm and friendly manner that adds to the overall sense of peace on the property. She takes excellent care of guests and offers a personal touch that many other homestays lack. She shared local information and was enjoyable to chat with. The room was spotless, cozy, and comfortable, with extra blankets and hot water bottles provided. The farmhouse itself is steeped in history, surrounded by vegetable gardens and trees, and sits in a secluded spot in a small village with beautiful walking trails nearby. Besides Saknim, the other staff were also very amicable and smiley; as a team they put a lot of effort into cooking and caring for us. We were absolutely spoiled by the food at Quo Vadis—every meal featured a whole spread of delicacies and dishes all prepared from fresh local produce. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer!

We spent three wonderful days at Quo Vadis homestay. The property is lush, cozy, and intimate, offering plenty of privacy. Saknim, her sister, Kancha Didi, and Anam were incredibly warm and hospitable. Saknim gave us a tour of the farm, served us delicious home-cooked and fire-cooked meals, and made our stay truly memorable. The peace and quiet of the homestay were exactly what we needed, with charming spots to explore nearby and, if you’re lucky, breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga. We highly recommend this homestay for anyone looking to unwind and do nothing for a few days. We can’t wait to visit again!

The Quo Vadis farm is an exquisite 150‑year‑old family home tucked into the dense greenery of the Mangwa forest, exuding warmth and an old‑world charm. The hostess and her staff share a deep commitment toward history and tradition and yet go out of their way to provide guests with all kinds of amenities possible. We loved the sumptuous breakfast spread, the unique taste of rai saag at lunch freshly plucked from the garden, and piping hot finger chips with our evening tea. Lovely trails snake through the forest leading to quaint little church buildings and gumpha s with breathtaking viewpoints. Super friendly dogs keep you company all along the way. The rooms are squeaky clean and bathrooms are fitted with water heaters and showers to rejuvenate your tired body after a steep climb. The quirky furniture, the cozy library space with an interesting and eclectic collection of books, all add to the wholesome and eminently agreeable vibes of the place. If you are up for a fuss‑free getaway into the lap of nature, this is the place for you. No complaints whatsoever as far as the property is concerned. Only thing bothering us was the pitiable condition of roads from Tista bazar. The recent floods have eaten away large chunks of the motorway as well as homes and shops adjacent to it. Even high up the roads are not maintained at all and you can expect a bumpy ride for the most part. But I can vouch that it's worth it. As the railroads encroach and new elements of ‘development’ encroach into the landscape, it's bound to change over the years. Up till now it is still unspoilt, standing at the threshold, still unsure as to whether the changes would ease or disrupt the lives of the people. That is why we felt that the beauty was tinged with a particular kind of pain that made it all the more tantalizing.
