After our mesmerizing stay at Dzongu we are heading to the South of Sikkim to explore the prevalent gastronomic canvas of this region, primarily in the serene setting of Kwezing village near Ravangla that is inhabited by the Bhutia community. Our final destination here was Lungchok Farmstay in Kewzing.
We started from Dzongu at 11 am in the morning with our driver cum guide Ashish Bhai. It's a five hour long journey through the beautiful mountainous stretch that has so much to offer. The magnificent verdant mountains, the cascading waterfall, the gushing rivers, the cold mountain air, the delightful flora and fauna all around, the meandering roads that cut through this landscape, the sparsely populated localities and the genial and industrious populace left us overwhelmed and awestruck. For most part of the journey we were engrossed in this splendour barring those few instances of distress when we had to negotiate poor road conditions. Damaged roads due to rockslides, landslides and heavy rain are common in such mountainous terrains. With the cautious Ashish bhai behind the wheels, we felt safe and somewhat unperturbed.
Our first pitstop en route Kewzing was Sherwani, a town center where the travelers halt for refreshment and basic provisions. We halted for lunch. The simple Sikkimese style spread at Sherwani Tourist cafeteria was a revelation. The food was very flavourful and as fresh as it could be. While eating it, it suddenly began to rain. The heavy downpour left us anxious about the journey as it posed a threat of landslides and rockslides.
Just as it declined a bit we decided to start for our next stop Temi Tea Garden, a popular tourist destination in this part of the state. The road leading to Temi was breathtakingly beautiful. And you can never get enough of the sight and smell of the lush green carpet over the rolling hills and the fresh and crisp mountain air. The beauty of this estate was unmatchable. We met one of the supervisors who took us around this stunning landscape, briefing us about the produce, history and heritage. It's a 100 percent organic tea estate that is much coveted in the global tea market. Sipping a cup of their popular Orthodox tea amidst the lush green carpet was a moment to cherish.
Soon after we resumed our journey to Kewzing. As we reached Ravangla, another popular town in this part. The temperature and the visibility both had declined sharply. The drive on this particular stretch was quite unsettling due to dense fog and poor road conditions.
On reaching the farm stay we were welcomed by our genial host Ms. Mingma. The place was tranquil and cosy. Without wasting any time we went to the kitchen to find out more about the local food scenario. She gave us a detailed idea of the common ingredients and the popular dishes of the Bhutia cuisine. We were excited to try the Khapse cookies, Gyuma, Nettle flower soup, Nakima and many more thing that were prepared with so much warmth. She also made us try some home made plum wine. Next morning we indulged in the most gratifying breakfast where everything was sourced from the farms itself. Thereafter we left for a tour of her beautiful farm full of a wide range of fruits, vegetables and flowering trees, cows and hens. There was so much activity all around. This gastronomic journey was indeed special.

Can’t imagine all this thing belongs India
Organic India incredible India 👍🏻🇮🇳
After all it's Northeast.. cleanliness is given importance and people love natural stuff here moreover Sikkim has taken organic farming to a different level
what i love about your channel is that you are open and respectful to each culture, you dont enter with any biased opinion and you engage people without concerned about background culture religion. keep it up, you are a food ambasodor of India.
I agree totally
Sikkim is like a Heaven... Wow. Such lovely and warm people
Ohh I m sure in future u will b seven
Living in Gangtok I have known the pleasant hostess Aunty who was earlier posted in the Tourism department. It is good to know that she is enjoying her retired life. However I am happily surprised and in awe of her cooking skills, her entrepreneurial abilities and knowledge of the local cuisines.
I definitely will visit her with my friends, and family for a small piece of Nirvana. Aunty hope to see you sooner than expected ❤️👍
Incredible Sikkim... Fascinating landscapes....happy gorgeous people.... yummiest organic food everywhere. Thank you
Hostess mam is so pleasant speeking very soothing and calm.
Very True..so sober by nature and simple
Looks like I wasted my trip to Sikkim. All I did, was eat samosas and momos in MG Marg in Gangtok. :)) Damn ! I'm mad at myself now after watching this video. I'M GOING BACK TO DO ALL THAT !!
Please do! It’s amazing ❤️
Sikkim has more to offer than you see in this video !
Same here i never tried any traditional food.. Feeling bad will try in next trip for sure
Areh bhai mujhe khud gussa aa raha hai 4 din tak pagal hoya hua tha momo or dosa vai vai kha kar 😅
Haha.. I agree.. me too.. not that I did not enjoy what was served.. but a waste of you don't try local.. little adventure necessary
I will surely visit sikkim in next December. Damn man incredible India. Love from BD🇧🇩

Keep the Good work going. Glad you loved Assam. Thanks again 😊

Sikkim is Paradise Valley in India🇮🇳🇮🇳
It's more interesting to learn from first hand aka direct from the indigenous people rather than googling or other podcasts. No manipulation of the real facts. Cool sir
Good morning. Namaste from UK. I love watching your programs, they are very informative. I am so impressed with you knowledge of food around all regions of India, your patience and also willingness to try anything and everything. Great programs, thank you...😊.
Be a Tibetan I feel happy to watch
Really nice sir . Keep it up. Thousands of salutes to madam also for her precise and authentic explanation. She has shown the true meaning of hospitality. 👍👍👍👏👏
Spring first flush temi tea is heaven. We go there once in every alternate year just to buy those. Even if we could get those in Kolkata I will not keep on retuning to Sikkim. the resort over there ( Cherry resort) now feels like my second home.
Today, Sikkim boasts of its own dietary culture that comprises of different food habits and some special recipes. These recipes and habits have emerged with the traditional wisdom and experiments of generations. The traditional food of Sikkim, is gaining popularity among the masses
I am salivating when I saw ghuma and pork during this lockdown time.
Very very informative video.. keep sharing in future too.
Beautiful Nature
Unda khana.... Wow....wht a fantastic vlog.... Aunty was amazing sweet.
Hii Anubhav sir
first of all, lots of appreciation and luck to you and your team.We have been watching your videos for 2 years. The way you explore and account for places , food and preserved culture is exclusive. All know your presence on TH-cam is likely as a food blogger but your approach is more likely as a blogger, which is delightful.

You are doing a job which a cultural ambassador or a minister should do
Again thanks for the tour of a very different India,
Diversity is the backbone of our nation
Our media and ministers hardly focus on Northeast it's a shame

The plum wine looks very much like Japanese umeshu made from green sour plums, lots of sugar and a kind of white liquor. How interesting there is a similar wine.
