Run by Dr. Uday Bala's family

Meghbitan Homestay is run by Dr. Uday Bala and family, in Upper-Middle Sittong, surrounded on all sides by tea gardens.

The property has three types of stays — a wooden cottage, a two-storey house, and an octagonal cottage with a 180° view of Kanchenjunga.

Most guests come for the view, the quiet, and the walk to nearby viewpoints; mornings here usually start with tea garden mist and end with a bonfire.
