Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this program, participation and what to expect.
It is a five-day residential program across Chakung and Sribadam in West Sikkim designed around slowing the pace of everyday life. The experience includes village walks, local food, time outdoors, interaction with residents and intentionally unstructured periods rather than a schedule filled with conventional wellness sessions.
Within this program, slow living means creating more space for walking, meals, nature, community, rest and ordinary experiences without constantly scheduling the next activity. It is not about doing nothing for five days, but about experiencing a different rhythm of daily life.
The program is designed for individuals and small private groups. It may suit people looking for a break from highly scheduled routines, digital overload or a fast everyday pace and who are interested in nature, local food, community and slower travel.
The program is not described as a strict digital detox. However, digital overload and attention fatigue are identified as concerns relevant to the experience, and phones are gently discouraged during communal meals.
The experience moves between Chakung and Sribadam in West Sikkim. The first three days are based around Chakung and the final two around Sribadam.
A typical day may include an optional sunrise walk, slow breakfast, local craft or making activity, lunch, independent village time, tea and conversation with residents, communal dinner and an informal evening around the fire.
Yes. Unscheduled time is an intentional part of the program. Each full day includes meaningful space without organised activity or an expected output, allowing participants to walk, rest, read, talk or simply spend time quietly.
No. The program specifically positions the villages, food, landscape, movement, community and pace of the days as the experience itself rather than creating a sightseeing itinerary with wellness sessions added to it.
Participants stay in village accommodation across Chakung and Sribadam. The experience prioritises local hosting and connection with place over resort-style luxury. The current listing specifies a single hut stay option.
Yes. All meals are listed as included. Food forms part of the experience through communal dining, local ingredients, cooking with hosts and connections with farms and food traditions in the villages.
