Tired of the city chaos? There’s a place in Sikkim where work feels lighter and life feels slower. It’s called Yakten — India’s first digital nomad village. Here’s what to expect.
Yakten sits high in East Sikkim, far from the noise. You won’t find loud cafés or flashy storefronts here — just forests, friendly faces, and steady Wi-Fi to get your work done.
At 5,300 ft, Yakten gives you clean air, home-cooked meals, and peaceful workspaces with forest views. It’s quiet, but never dull.
You’ll still hit deadlines, take calls, finish work. But you’ll also notice the sky more, eat on time, and maybe even sleep better.
It’s built for focus, not FOMO Forget distractions. Here, the silence helps you think clearer. Desks face trees, not traffic. People respect your time and space — but always stop for a chat.
Mornings with Kanchenjunga. Nights by the fire. You’ll wake to snow-covered peaks and end your day with firewood crackling and simple conversations. It’s not curated. It’s just how life is here.
Even your lunch break feels like a breather Take a walk in the forest, try local tea from the backyard, or follow a trail lined with orchids. You’ll want to log off just to wander.
You’ll live with local families — warm hosts who treat you like their own. Clean rooms, hot water, tea setups, and conversations that stay with you.
From sel roti in the morning to stews at night, every bite is cooked fresh with what’s available. There are no menus — just good food and good company.
