Hello! I'm Karma Sherpa, a passionate traveler and host. Having traveled to 16 countries in 2019, I've experienced the incredible warmth of the Couchsurfing community firsthand, and I absolutely love giving back. I'm looking to meet serious, like-minded travelers who are genuinely seeking a cultural exchange, not just a free hotel/hostel stay.

My Home and Hosting Style
I'm currently based in Gangtok. Due to a tight schedule, I have become very selective with requests. When I do host, I enjoy sharing genuine conversations, perhaps a simple meal, or just relaxing and swapping travel stories. My goal is to offer you a personal, authentic connection.

What I Expect from Surfers
I truly believe Couchsurfing is built on mutual respect and shared experiences.

🙏 Your Couch Request Must Include:
• "TASHIDELEK" at the very beginning of your message.
• A detailed introduction about who you are, what you do, and your hometown/city.
• Your genuine reason for choosing me and my place.

Preference will always be given to active hosts who have hosted guests before, but all well-written requests showing you've read my full profile will be considered!

Inner Line Permit (ILP) - Essential Info

⚠️ Important Note for Foreign Travelers: If your travels include visiting areas that require it (like Sikkim), you must obtain your Inner Line Permit (ILP) beforehand.
You can typically get this from the Sikkim House in Kolkata or Delhi, or the SNT office in Siliguri. Making the ILP in advance is mandatory as it prevents long delays and issues for other passengers if you're taking a shared cab.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people around the world and host when ever possible and I too travel around the world.
I would like to host serious travelers and would love to connect with them.
