Singhik Bungalow
budget
The Mangan district administration lists a tourist lodge at Singhik, and the Sikkim government-owned bungalow there has been run by a private heritage-bungalow operator in recent years. Its selling point is its position on the Singhik ridge, about 1,560 m, facing the Kanchenjunga massif and Siniolchu across the Teesta valley. On clear mornings from October to April, you can watch sunrise on the peaks from the lawn.
Rooms are simple and food is home-style. It is a good budget night for travellers heading to Dzongu, for anyone whose North Sikkim permit is delayed and for those who want a quiet stop on the way to Lachung or Lachen. Indian citizens need no Protected Area Permit here. Operators of government lodges change, so check current status before you travel.
Why we like it
- Direct views of Kanchenjunga and Siniolchu
- No Protected Area Permit needed for Indians
- Quiet base for Dzongu and the drive north
Watch out for
Government-owned lodges change operators and standards, so confirm the current management, rate and booking channel before you go.
