The Project

3 Acres of hilly land was acquired in the village Bara Mangwa near Darjeeling for this endeavour in 2005. A Charitable Trust was formed primarily to help the community. Gradually within the area, the trust started organic farming, animal husbandry and flower cultivation. The trust made a pipeline for drinking water that supply potable water to about 18 families in the village.

The project include programme to minimize the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. The Bara Mangwa tourism development project area is surrounded by unmatched beauty. One can be rejuvenated with some off beat activities here.

The Bara Mangwa Farm House is not only a village resort, but it aims to enable people to enjoy and learn about the natural, historical and cultural characteristics of unique environments while preserving the integrity of this area and stimulating the economic development opportunities in local communities.

The Farm House

The guest house has few specious rooms with modern attached bathrooms and excellent panoramic view of Kalimpong and Sikkim hills and a ‘Birds eye view’ of colourful River ‘Tista’. At present there is no electricity. Simple but adequate facilities are offered such as running water and regular cleaning. You will be served food four times a day. The Farmhouse has its own cultivated regular crops and various seasonal vegetables. Also some seasonal fruits are produced in the project area. The farm has its own poultry, Piggery, Dairy and a small Goat house.

The rural community of Bara Mangwa Farm House promises to be a new dreamland for nature and adventure lovers. An ideal place to experience rural life in the Himalayan Kingdom. You can enjoy the Himalayan Home stay with traditional hospitality.

As a visitor to the Bara Mangwa Farm house, you can take part in Yoga and Martial Art. There are good rock sites around for people interested in rock climbing. Small treks can be organised around the hills.

Within the village you can try your hand at Organic farming, Animal husbandry, flower cultivation etc.

From Siliguri drive towards Kalimpong through National Highway 31A. At Tista Bazar avoid the Tista Bridge and move straight ahead for another half kilometre. Here a small uphill road on your left will take you to Bara Mangwa. The distance from the main road is just 4 kilometres.

The farmhouse is fabulous. Rooms are very specious and comfortable with a rocking terrace in front. Delicious traditional food. Staffs are very careful and cheerful in nature, and the view is simply breathtaking. It's more than a home away from home..
