Netuk House
A Sikkimese family home turned small guesthouse, decorated in traditional Bhutia style with painted woodwork and an altar room. It is the closest Gangtok comes to a heritage stay at a mid-range price, and known for home-style Sikkimese meals.
Netuk House is a family residence that opened its rooms to guests, and that is still its character: a handful of rooms, carved and painted wood, thangkas and a family chapel. For travellers who want to understand how a Sikkimese Buddhist household looks and eats, it is a gentle introduction without leaving the capital. Dinner here, when offered, tends to be Sikkimese home cooking rather than a hotel menu.
It sits in central Gangtok, within reach of MG Marg on foot. It is a Comfort-tier choice for us: more than a budget room, far less than a big hotel. With only a few rooms, it fills early around Durga Puja, Diwali and the April–May holidays. Ask about meal plans, heating and the stairs to your room when you book, and check current rates before you travel.
Why we suggest it
- Traditional Sikkimese family house with a small number of rooms
- Home-style Sikkimese food when meals are offered
- Central, so the mall and the monasteries are close

Questions people ask
Good to know
Is Netuk House a hotel or a homestay?
It is a family home run as a small guesthouse, so it sits between the two: private rooms with hotel-style service, but a family atmosphere and traditional Sikkimese decor. With only a few rooms, expect a quiet, personal stay rather than the facilities of a large hotel, and book early for October, Puja week and the April–May holidays.
Is Netuk House good for a honeymoon on a budget?
Yes, for couples who prefer character to a lobby. It costs more than a budget hotel, roughly in the ₹4,500–7,500 a room range with breakfast (indicative), but it gives you a quiet, traditional setting in central Gangtok. Pair it with cheaper homestay nights in Aritar or Zuluk to keep the overall trip affordable.
Can we walk to MG Marg from Netuk House?
Yes, it is in central Gangtok and MG Marg is within walking distance, though Gangtok's roads are steep. Many guests walk down for dinner and take a fixed-fare taxi back, about ₹100–300 for a short hop. Confirm the route and the nearest taxi point with your hosts on arrival.
