About Us

Your Hillside Escape, Unfolded.

Subham Poddar

A quiet story tucked in the clouds. Estikutum is more than a farm stay. It’s a hilltop memory in the making. I grew up with the sound of the breeze brushing through pine trees. This place raised me. I built Estikutum to share that silence, that simplicity. Welcome to my hill.

Where You Stay

Stay Where the Clouds Rest

More than just a destination, Jhandi is where clouds come home, nature whispers, and slow travel finds meaning. Ideal for eco-tourists, trekkers, and nature lovers seeking peace in the Eastern Himalayas.
