The people behind OurGuest

Built from Sikkim, for the world

OurGuest was born from a real gap — no platform gave Northeast India's extraordinary homestays the spotlight they deserved.

We're not a Delhi or Bangalore startup that discovered Northeast India on a weekend trip. We are from here. Karma and Pintso grew up in Sikkim, built the Homestay Association of Sikkim from scratch with 250+ members, and have spent over a decade making sure travelers get the real thing — not a packaged imitation.
