Welcome to the Tumling, nestled in the serene beauty of the Himalayas, where the borders of India and Nepal meet. Tumling, a small Gurung hamlet, is not just a place; it's a story of generations, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. The name Tumling is believed to have been derived from the Lepcha tribe, inspired by a tree that once flourished in the region. The village is famous for its awe-inspiring views of the majestic mountains, and the magical sunrises and sunsets that paint the sky with colors you’ll never forget.

This peaceful haven was first discovered by our great-grandfather, Ajirman Gurung, who ventured from Khotang district in Eastern Nepal. Drawn by the tranquility and natural beauty, Ajirman saw the potential for grazing his cattle in the lush, high-altitude pastures, where the air is fresh, and the vegetation rich. Captivated by the land, he made it his home. 

As time passed, the legacy continued with his son Tika Ram Gurung and later his grandson Chhatra Bahadur Gurung, who expanded the family home to welcome trekkers journeying to Sandakphu and Phalut. It was during Chhatra Bahadur’s time that the family’s humble abode transformed into the Mountain Lodge, offering unparalleled views of the mighty Mt. Kangchenjunga and surrounding peaks. 

Now, the fourth generation carries the torch. Keshari Gurung, the daughter of Chhatra Bahadur, runs the lodge today. A social worker and passionate advocate for the region’s development, Keshari also hosts the annual Yak Festival, a vibrant celebration of the local culture and traditions. With a deep commitment to preserving the area's authenticity, she aims to promote Tumling not just as a trekking destination, but also as a peaceful sanctuary for leisure tourism, meditation, and reflection.

Come, experience the magic of Tumling. The mountains, the hospitality, and the stories of our ancestors await you.
