Envision this: you awaken to the sound of birds chirping in the window, head outside, and there it is: clouds slowly drifting by the Kanchenjunga. You barely sip on your hot tea and feel the mountain’s breath on your face, and it suddenly feels peaceful. Each day at Jojo Samsuhang Homestay, you will have this type of morning—a little cosy home where you aren’t just a guest; you are family.
We are more than a homestay in Kolakham; we are your second home. Whether you are travelling with family, looking to go away for a romantic trip with your partner, or simply looking for some solitude in nature, here is why Jojo Samsuhang is considered the best homestay in Kolakham.
1. A Home away from Home
At Jojo Samsuhang, hospitality is personal. We do not just welcome you; we make you feel like family. More often than not, after a few days at Jojo Samsuhang, most guests forget they are guests and feel like they are home and/or family from the mountains.
2. Rooms that envelop you in Comfort
Each room is thoughtfully designed with wood, hugs of blankets, and a window to let the mountains in. Sunrises, sunsets, or cosy nights by the fire in our rooms are the kind of moments you will forget your life as a city person.

3. Authentic Food, Cooked with Care
We offer meals inspired by traditional Nepali and Bengali meals—simple, made with fresh ingredients, and well-flavored. Imagine steaming rice, local greens, and homemade chicken curry all while sitting by the window with a direct view of the valleys. That’s a taste of mountain life.
4. Ideal for Families
Searching for a family homestay in Kolakham? Kids love the outdoor space surrounding the house, while parents find safety, quiet and home food more agreeable. We most often see families gathered at the dining table or discovering nature as a family.
5. Couple-Friendly Seclusion
As a couple friendly homestay in Kolakham, we certainly understand the necessity of both seclusion and quiet. Jojo Samsuhang has numerous quiet spaces to read, sit outside on a mountain-facing balcony or simply enjoy tranquillity.
6. Kanchenjunga at Your Doorstep
One of the striking sights you will recall on your journey back home is undoubtedly the view from our homestay. On a clear day, Kanchenjunga’s golden colour will reflect the early rise; even when the clouds roll in; the wonder makes you feel like you are seeing a dream.
7. A Base for Exploration
Since we are very close to the Neora Valley National Park, our homestay will become your base for walks, treks, bird watching and nature walks. No matter if it is walking in Lava, Rishop, or some hidden pathway, your next adventure will start from our front gate. In addition, at the end of your excursion, you return from your day to a warm place, hot food, and comfort.
8. Real Local Experiences
We don’t offer a “hotel stay”; we offer a living experience. You can learn how the locals farm and grow, taste our produce pulled from the land, and even sit at the fire listening to hill stories. By staying here, it feels like you are actually a part of the village.
9. The Quiet and Calm You Have Never Experienced
The silence is priceless. There are no horns, no chaos – only the sounds of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and some distant bird songs. Many of our guests say their minds are clearer after spending a few days with us. It is somewhat like pressing reset for your soul.
