If you're looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience wellness in a serene environment, Moonbean Farmstay is the perfect destination. Tucked away in a tranquil region, Moonbean provides a unique, immersive experience that blends natural beauty with sustainable living.
Sustainability is at the core. The farm operates on eco-friendly principles, including organic farming and renewable energy like solar power. Guests are encouraged to engage in sustainable practices — conserving water and minimizing waste — and accommodations are built using eco-conscious materials.
Moonbean is located in a serene area of Sombaria, Hat, Gorubathan, surrounded by rolling hills, verdant fields, and diverse flora and fauna. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for those who wish to escape the chaos of urban life.
Accommodation is simple yet comfortable — cozy, well-maintained cottages with natural wooden interiors and large windows. For a more immersive experience, eco-friendly tents allow guests to sleep closer to nature without sacrificing comfort.
Wellness is at the heart of the experience. Yoga and meditation sessions help guests relax. Farm-to-table dining uses the farm's own organic produce in traditional, local dishes. Nature walks with knowledgeable staff explore the farm's ecosystem and sustainable farming practices.
Workshops focused on sustainable living — organic gardening, permaculture, natural building — let guests learn practical skills. The annual celebration of Lohsar, the Tibetan New Year, brings traditional music, dance, and food.
The nearest airport is Bagdogra (about 90 km away); the closest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (about 70 km). The drive from Siliguri is typically 2 to 3 hours. Best time to visit: October to March for cooler weather.
