Martam is an extraordinary place in Sikkim. For me it was the best place in 4 weeks Sikkim (February 2020). It was winter and we were the only guests and treated so warm and welcoming. We loved the room which was clean and western standard, and we got two well working heaters. So good! Karzan organized everything for us, I even got a hairdryer. And we got an extra WIFi extender. The staff is so friendly and nice and the food is good. Martam lies in the countryside and we had nice walks and so nice experiences with the villagers and children around. We also loved that is was close to monastery Rumtek. So we came back for a second time for the Tibetan New Year celebrations. We were completely happy and relaxed there and can only highly recommend this place. And we wish all the best to the owners and staff!!!! Thank you so much. Ute Welteroth…
We were two families and had an excellent stay at Martam. Property is very well maintained, staff is super helpful. This is a place to soak in nature, chat around bonfire, trek to nearby monastery n villages n have delicious meals. Rooms were good size with all facilities. There is a big swimming pool although as it was winter, we didn't use it. Lots of place for kids to run around n a good play area. Manager there is superb and really takes personal care of each guest. Overall a great stay.
There are simply no words to describe our time spent at this retreat. The photos will tell the story. Thank you to the staff & owners for making our stay magical. We will never forget the sounds of nature and the spectacular views the bedrooms/terraces offer. The food which is organic, straight for their garden is delicious! The rooms are spacious & beds are extremely comfortable. The swimming pool is a real bonus! Can’t wait to come back!
Like to thank Mr Kunzang and his entire team at Martam Retreat for making our holiday remarkable. We had one of our best family holiday in this beautiful resort nested in a pristine environment and surrounded by mountains, meadows, valleys and forest reserve. The resort has been beautifully conceived and designed, keeping in mind every aspect of a holiday. The Swimming pool, games area , reading room , a cosy lounge and the restaurant and bar made the entire day eventful. The rooms were spacious with breath taking views and lot of space to move around. All the staff’s were well behaved with an inner commitment to give their best service. Deepak’s 11-year-old daughter made a flower bouquet with wild flowers whose fragrance filled the whole atmosphere and made our anniversary a memorable one. The place and its people have left a lasting impression in our hearts. We have left the place with a feeling to come back soon. My sincere thanks to all the people with golden hearts, who have brightened our stay. Thank You !!!…
Martam is perfect, it's a village, a small hamlet deep in a valley known as the rice bowl of Sikkim, with only a few houses of farmers and landowners, a couple of shops, but still just an hour away from Gangtok. and then, coming to Martam Retreat, it's like a fantasy, a quiet and comfortable magic carpet floating in mist and cloud that descends into the valley every evening, from the hills around. Every comfort that one would reasonably require and still feel detached and secluded is present there. Take a walk through the village, walk down the forested trails into the terraced paddy fields below, or just sit in the balcony and let the cloud descend and engulf you in absolute silence. Or if, you are the swimming pool lover, take a dip in the indoor pool. Overall, enjoy all creature comforts in absolute peace and tranquility, and what is better to top the experience when Mr. Kunzang Topden, the owner himself would attend to you personally and make you feel as comfortable as one can be. Loved my stay of five days of small walks and quiet sit outs, and would come back again. For people who love to live in a dreamy village hidden in mist and cloud but still be only an hour from a city.…
