The Chumbi Mountain Retreat & Spa

Dear Chumbi Resort Team, We thank you for a memorable stay. Everything about our stay here, from your hospitality to the setting and staff were welcoming and warm. We have stayed in several Mahindra resorts in the past, but this one stands out. And for all the good reasons. We came in during lean season, giving us time and space (and silence) to allow us to visit Pelling as a traveler not just a tourist- unrestricted views of the snow clad Kanchenjunga, the crisp mountain air and roar of the bees. Three days in, and we didn’t want to leave the resort. We had come here to relax, and we got all we wanted and more. But before we share why we loved the property, we would like to say thank you to a whole host of beautiful souls, many of whom, work in the background and some of whom we interacted only briefly. A special thank you to talented Chefs Jiten, Chef Rana, Mr. Shishir and their team for generously taking the time to teach us how to cook traditional Sikkimese dishes like Saag fry and Ragi rotis. Learning about local cuisine in the rustic setting of your beautiful outdoor kitchen set up was a highlight of our trip—an experience we’ll treasure. Trying out Sel roti, Aalo dum, Pahadi tikki among others was just too good. The Dyenkhang Speciality Restaurant deserves a special mention. The Sikkimese thali served there was outstanding—truly unlike anything we’ve tasted before. Thanks to Ashish, F&B manager, and his team - you allowed us to appreciate the culinary soul of Sikkim. The Thali was nothing short of a masterclass in elegance and flavour! What stood out the most, however, was the warmth and camaraderie of your staff. Not only were you all attentive and kind, but your strong bonds with one another created a joyful atmosphere. Watching (and joining!) the evening volleyball matches between guests and staff added a wonderfully playful touch to the whole experience. Durga, thank you for being polite despite our off-key karaoke performances! Thank you Mr. Mani, Resort Manager for introducing your culture to us. Thank you also to Mr. Abhishek, Housekeeping manager- you took care of our every requirement. The Chumbi resort itself is a masterpiece in a beautiful setting. The aesthetic charm, calming garden spaces, and serene views—especially of the Kanchenjunga peak—are breathtaking. We loved how every element tells a story- from the wood of the suspension bridge over the holy Rathong river used in the courtyard, to the replica of the Three Chortens, the Japanese style panels outside the restaurant, and the walls lined with history-rich photographs. These details makes the resort feel less like a hotel and more like a beautifully preserved home steeped in culture. Thank you once again for crafting such a thoughtful, immersive, and peaceful retreat. We feel refreshed, inspired, and full of gratitude. You truly offer hospitality at its finest. Warm regards, Dani Family July 2025

The best resort club mahindra has in Sikkim. Front desk person Sneha helped us in good room arrangements. Ashish took timeout for showing us the property and what activities can be done in the resort. He also showed us garden farming being done there. Chef Pawni and her team made excellent arrangements in giving us an evening with local village food and ambience. Housekeeping team of Balkrishna and Elena took care of all the other necessary things required. Definately a place to visit

The resort is at a beautiful location, well decorated and value for money. The views of Mt. Kangchenjunga from the resort are a treat to the eyes. All Staff Reception Team & Alina, Anjana and keshang housekeeping team were very helpful and responsive to our needs. Everything is good 👌👌👍👍

The experience was very good. Ashish showed us around the property and was very helpful in introducing the facilities provided. Also booked for a village like dinner where chulha cooked local food was served with local alcohol. Alena, Anjana, Chef Pritika and Chef Jiten served us well during the village dinner, the food was also superb. Bathrooms are also to my liking and the service is also good. All in all, loved the resort and would definitely visit again

The location in itself is a bliss. Serene, tranquil and picturesque. The staff is cool, courteous, eager to serve and ever smiling. We enjoyed our stay. The complete team is fantastic. Love to be back again.

It is a beautiful property! Great view ! Floor manager alina was very polite and sweet and kept rooms clean . Just fridge didn’t work properly!
