From Sikkim Birds, we have tie-ups with multiple homestays, resorts, and hotels; with whom we are comfortable working. There are some measures, which we evaluate for our own understanding of whether that particular stay option is capable of handling bird watchers or birders in the right manner or not. The basic prerequisite of a birder is serviced by early morning from dawn to dusk; and so to be with sync, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners should be timely and not compromised. After a whole day of hiking in the jungle for birdwatching, guests may ask to retire to the lounge to discuss the current bird sightings for the day or to plan for the next day's birding. 

Forest Rest Houses (FRH booking) in Sikkim for birding
In some cases, where the birdwatchers opt for staying or camping in the jungle; we arrange that too! It is always fun to camp out in solitude. However, caretakers and cooks would be there to arrange for anything you need! Some wildlife sanctuaries have options for overnight stays inside the Forest Guest House or Forest Rest Houses (FRH). Then we would look after your FRH booking for your stays. Actually, you save time for your birding when you opt for staying in forest rest houses. You make an early start by just stepping out of your room and start making the checklists since then. You don’t have to travel for some kilometers or half an hour to reach the bird-watching destination for this.  

Homestays - few days in tribal homes
Well, you plan to stay in a tribal house - you are actually one step close to nature, and remember your carbon footprint during that part of the tour is very low, neutral, or even harmful. Sikkim is home to multiple tribes - Lepchas, Nepalese, Sikkimese Bhutia, Limboos, Rais, Tamangs, and collective other kirati Gorkha people. 
The languages very much differ from one another and every tribe has an animistic approach towards nature and wildlife. There are tribal stories about birds and mammals. When you have some free hours in the evening, join the tour leader and ask for ethno-ornithology stories. You know there are over 400 bird names found in the Lepcha language. For an isolated hill tribe for many centuries, this is extraordinary, isn’t it? Listen to stories of Mountain Scops Owls and Hill Partridges from the locals. Be a part of them and enrich your bird knowledge when you learn from them! 
Try authentic Sikkimese cuisine also, which doesn’t match with regular Indian cuisine, but has the influence of oriental cuisine. Come experience homestays in Sikkim, when you plan for a bird tour with us!

Hotels and Resorts in the outskirt of hustling towns
No bird watchers like the city noise; they prefer solitude or at least their stays should be calm and quiet, might be within city limits though for some occasions. It is not at all inexact to ask for staying in luxury suits or book a five-star resort. Since you would be spending birding holidays here in Sikkim. We have liaisons with multiple resorts and hotel chains, and we can suggest the right choice so that your basic plan of bird-watching itinerary is intact and not hampered.
In some of the resorts, some rare and threatened species can be seen in their garden landscape as natural as they are in the wild. Attracting garden birds by setting feeder posts, nest boxes, and birdbaths set up a miniature sanctuary feeling during your stay experience. These stage sets differ from resort to resort; however, you can experience bird hide photography as well from such places.
