When a hotel was booked up I explained I was fine staying in a farm house and got the opportunity for an extra homestay in Gangte area. I would recommend that you make it clear to your guide what kind of trip you are looking for. I did not enjoy the touristy resort dinners of the restaurants (mainly because I was by myself and in a different age bracket than other tourists) so my Guide and I would normally go out for beers and momos instead at a local spot which is a much more enjoyable experience but might not be within everyones comfort zone. Oh and watch out for the chillies ;) Hi Esti,
