Biksthang Farm House

Folklore has it that Biksthang is derived from the Monree (Lepcha) word 'bik mon' meaning 'the place where a tiger ate a cow'. The Lhopos (Bhutias) aver that 'biks thang' means 'a place with a wide variety of special stones'. The area was earlier known as Mangbir or 'the place where millet is grown’. Officially, the village is known as Tsochen (Chuchen) meaning 'Big Lake'. Biksthang, at an altitude of about 4100 feet, is a well-known bird watching hot spot. Its pristine wilderness and pleasant climate offer a serene environ well-suited to avid nature lovers as well as world-weary travellers. We, at Biksthang Heritage Farmhouse aim to preserve the acres of lush green farmlands still untouched by human habitation and nurture this tiny haven away from the rest of the world.

Biksthang Heritage Farmhouse is built on the estate of the Sharkahlon family. Settled in this area in the early 18th century. Sharkahlon Kalzang Thendup, the first Sharpe to have set foot in Denjong (Sikkim), was the foremost disciple of Gyalwa Lhatsun Chenpo (Patron Saint of Sikkim), who was deputed to search for the first Chogyal (Dharma King) of Sikkim.

Fourteen generations of the family have lived here. The original house built by Sharkahlon Tshering Thondup, a prominent minister in the 18th century, stands to this day. The place was selected due to its remoteness, as a safe haven from marauding invaders from across the borders.
