The Bamboo Retreat - A Himalayan Boutique-Hotel- Set surrounded by paddy fields and bamboo groves across the valley from Sikkims capital Gangtok this boutique hotel overlooks Sikkims green rolling hills and the snow-capped Nathula beyond it lies Tibet. We reflect a blend of Sikkims culture with a modern / cosmopolitan flare. The Bamboo Retreat integrates Sikkimese art, botany, interiors, hospitality and cuisine yet the charming Swiss influence of its founder also shines through for example in paying attention to details. The retreat is best suited for those seeking a place away from the hustle of the city, who enjoy a mix of ethic and global good-quality homemade cuisine, who are interested in meditation, Sikkims history, undertaking day-walks and generally as a starting point to explore other parts of Sikkim and the Northeast. The hotels architecture is inspired by Sikkim monastic architecture that originated from Tibet. Bamboo, an eco-friendly under-valued material has been much used in interior decoration. There are also more than 20 varieties of Bamboo growing in the hotels surrounds. Bamboo is a symbol of vitality and flexibility. AT Bamboo Retreat we provide an environment for people to re-vitalise themselves and open their minds.
