In this episode of our Sikkim Food Series, we bring you our food explorations from the verdant and uneven terrains of Dzongu in North Sikkim. After spending a day exploring the food in Gangtok with our sprightly hosts Prerna and Abhigail from Our Guest, we headed to the serene and secluded landscapes of Dzongu which is a reserve for the Lepcha tribe. After an adventurous road trip, we arrived at this quaint village called Gyanthang in lower Dzongu to discover their lifestyle, traditions and customs through the lens of food and to interact with the genial populace who live here in communion with nature.
We are immensely grateful to Kazlan from Munlom Nature Resort (www.munlomresor...) for hosting us here in Gyathang. This beautiful home stay perched amidst the grandeur of nature is a perfect place to unwind. The peace, tranquility, the flora and fauna all around and the genial locals resulted in such reassuring vibes. The terrains here are rugged but absolutely stunning.
On reaching there we were received by the warm smiles of the Kazlan Dorjee, the owner of the homestay and his cheerful staff. A little later, while showing us around, he elucidated how each and every architectural thing in the property has been constructed with local and sustainably sourced raw materials.
As usual we were famished from the travel so we soon settled for lunch. It was a simple and typical lepcha fare that included steamed rice with cooked with shredded spinach, potato stir fry, country chicken, Gundruk soup and the very unique Nakima or edible orchid stir fry. The food was minimalist yet terrific. The freshness and the purity of the ingredients that were organically grown in the farms around the property, came through in every bite. With the energy restored in the body, we headed on for a tour of the forested stretch surrounding the homestay.
As we walked through the uneven, lush green terrain, Kalzan briefed us about the flora growing around the place. Dzongu is famous for Black Cardamom plantation. The organically grown cardamom seeds that we tried straight from the plant had such an intense fragrance. Kalzan then elucidated some important aspects of their traditions and customs. We were truly impressed by the lifestyle of the Lepcha community which exist in harmony to nature.
Next we moved to explore the local monastery. The place was full of stories of unity, harmony and fraternity . The simple and colorful architecture was a testimony to collective faith. Soon we arrived at a village household where the family brews the traditional millet beer Chi. We learnt about its making process and carried some of the final product back to the homestay. It was interesting to discover that Chi is a combination of both the fermented millet grains and the liquor extract. The drinking session was peppered with amusing stories of the locals enjoying the drink on a daily basis.
Next we were in the kitchen to observe the dinner preparation. A traditional Lepcha meal was on its way. We saw how the bamboo pork, Nettle soup and millet flour pancakes were prepared and that made us very hungry. Soon it was dinner time and what a gratifying meal it was full of vivid flavours.
Next morning Rinchen led us to another homestay for a traditional breakfast of Khuri and chutney. We loved every bit of this yummy wrap made with millet flour based crepes and a mixture of spinach cooked with coarsely ground mustard although the chilli and tomato chutney that accompanied it was quite hot for our palate. The old lady who prepared the crepes and assemble the wraps was all full of smiles. With a great enthusiasm Richen briefed us about the routine lifestyle of the village community.
This hearty breakfast was followed by an in house organic wine tasting session at Munlom. Watch the video to discover more about this endearing culinary expedition in Dzongu.

You got another good host in Dzongu. He explained everything nicely.
I also thought the same.
One of the best videos. Never seen such soft spoken people. Totally floored by their hospitality and humility
This was the best host I've ever seen. I would pay good money to have the experience you had, walking tours and the explanation of everything! He was so patient and polite, love this! You're really lucky to have such an experience
Best video so far, I dare to say. Slow paced as the world in Sikkim. The host in Dzong was so worldly. His first words conveyed his uniqueness, Thank you for bringing the world of Sikkim to us. Very good.
Thank you🙏🏼
People of Sikkim are so lucky to be living in such a heavenly place. One day, soon, I am going to visit Sikkim and its beautiful people.
most welcome☯️
That's the reason why India invaded the sovereign Sikkim!!!!
@@ashimgautam693 if Sikkim was not under india. China had invaded it and destroyed everything like they did in Tibbet.
@@ashimgautam693 Invaded my ass, they opted India over China, better have some research before blabbering nonsense.
pls do, I have been there 4 times
Initially I thought it's a 53 minutes video..but when I started watching... I couldn't stop my self...
Thankyou so much
Such a nice host in Sikkim and another gem of an episode by DFW. Congrats Anubhav and DFW

The host is such a wonderful storyteller...a virtual trip to dzongu and learned a lot about Lepcha history and culture.
Lepchas did a hunger strike for more than 100 days to prevent dam construction in Dzongu
Really amazing...this vedio is a clear example of excellence when you meet such a host and create such an outstanding vedio.No one else could ve explained sikkim in so beautiful and authentic manner...keep it up (search for more such natives across India)☺️☺️☺️
It's nice when vloggers like him come to Northeast India. Media rarely shows good side of Northeast

What a wonderful informative video it was. Thanks for bringing us to know about the tradition of Sikkim.
Absolutely fabulous. So pure, so natural. I came out of the video feeling upset that it finished. I wished that I would go on living in that magic.
Very informative about Lepcha tribe and culture. Things are changing and NE people are being exposed and treated as part of our indian culture. Host is cool and amazing. No shortcuts. Thank you Abinav sir for exploring Sikkim and sharing.
Thank you so much for the appreciation 🥰
Nice to see the roots and culture of sikkim which is in rich. Seems everything they eat healthy and medicinal.
Food is organic
Hey Anubhav, one other fantastic episode. I have been watching quite a few of your episodes recently. What I loved about this episode, is exactly as you mentioned, Host is amazing and explained lots of interesting facts of culture and preparation of food.
This video should have atleast a million views.....
Very Nice !! A very well explained Vlog about Sikkim culture and traditions. So much Respect for my country India which has so many colors , cultures, traditions, uniqueness, people, food , beautiful landscapes, snow covered mountains at one end and in another desert yet we stand together. That’s what makes it beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kindness
One of the best video ever. The ways he explains everything abt there tradition and food is grt.. Can u plz gave me a detail that how can we reach there. With whom we have to contact for all this..
from Mangan u need to book cab with the homestay owner, till Mangan u get shared cab from Gangtok
if u wish u can have a look into my channel, went to Dzongu in Jan, 2021
This time is the mountain. Nature was wonderful. In addition, the dishes used the nature of the village, for example, there were many dishes using bamboo, etc., and it was very fresh. There are such places in the Japanese countryside. It feels a bit similar. Everyone is a bit like Japanese. And the artistic paintings and sculptures of the building are very wonderful techniques. Indoor is wide. Thank you very much. God.
Thank you very much for such a lovely comment :)
Where are you from?
Finally a Foodie and blogger who showed Lepcha tribe and food ... Thanks a lot ... Being a Lepcha , me myself got to know a lot about us
It's very nice...to see.. Even though I am from mountain region.. That guy is very humble I ever seen in lepcha community.. Otherwise many are don't know about their history
Amazing episode, my favorite from the your channel, fusion of food and knowledge reminds me of my travels in sikkim and eastern nepal.

This episode was very informative the discussion you had with the homestay caretaker. It would be nice idea to do an episode on food and also an episode all local tourism, those who are interested in knowing the culture can watch the episode of his choice. So you make several episode on one single trip...nice going.
It's time to book tickets for Sikkim
