Holumba Haven Resort

Holumba Haven is a botanical extravaganza with natural landscape. It sprawls over an area of two acres and faces Mt Kanchenjunga. The homestay resort itself is a small world of flora with more than one thousand species of plants and orchids. A natural spring falling from the hidden hiatus in the hills showers Holumba Haven as if a monk sprinkles holy water everywhere. An extensive orchid nursery is the best gift from Holumba Haven for the lovers of nature. Bulbs, rhizomes, tubers are some of the rare orchids that are found here. BOOK YOUR TRIP TO HOLUMBA HAVEN
