Date : 28 April 2022 A Post By: Tirthankar Ghosh

Zuluk or Jhuluk or Jaluk is a small hamlet located at a height of around 10,000 feet (3,000 m) on the rugged terrain of the lower Himalayas in East Sikkim of the Indian state Sikkim (Pincode 737131). This place is relatively an emerging and offbeat destination in East Sikkim.

Probably the most popular of all places on silk route, Zuluk at 10000 ft. about 10 KMs up from Padamchen through thrilling hairpin bends, was even in a recent point of reality, a roadside Himalayan ‘bustee’ of about 100 houses. All that changed when a denizen named Mr. Gopal Pradhan started his homestay Dilmaya Retreat on the insistence of Mr. Sebastian Pradhan of Reshi. Together, they coordinated to pull this circuit out of oblivion and into public access. His homestay is the oldest in the entire of the Silk route. Atleast 6-7 other homestays exist nowadays in Zuluk, some infact are better in facilities than Dilmaya.

Zuluk is also known for its spring bloom of Rhododendrons which practically paint the treeless slopes in vivid hues of red and purple. The views specially in the mornings are breathtaking when the sun rises from the horizon and due to the elevation, the valleys below are engulfed in clouds, providing a sensational scene of a sunrise being witnessed standing above the white mist.
