Within a five-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Gangtok town, the quiet stillness and tranquility pervades the idyllic location of The Shire, where you can sip tea in the garden amidst flowers blooming, and with the quiet companionship of the flutter of butterfly wings. flowers
The mighty Khangchendzonga, the guardian deity of Sikkim lies resplendent in all its glory showering munificence on all who gaze at her.
The tradition of Sikkimese hospitality is evident from the fact that The Shire is a home away from home.
We believe in not only providing Rooms but green open spaces and surroundings for our guests to just relax in peace.
