India’s First Remote Work Destination: Digital Nomad Village at Yakten, Sikkim

The first Digital Nomad Village in India has officially become a part of the global digital nomadism movement, being opened at Yakten, Sikkim. The intention behind this move is to integrate work and leisure, to provide the professional with a place in which to combine effectiveness and immersion in the culture and natural beauty.

The initiative supported by the state government and tourism stakeholders in Sikkim is meant to draw freelancers, remote workers and other entrepreneurs who desire to work in peaceful locations. Yakten provides a viable alternative to traditional urban offices with high-speed internet, co-working areas, and homestay services.

Yakten is an East Sikkim village in the midst of thick forests, clean landscape and the window to the cultural heritage. The village is meticulously selected to bring out the sustainable tourism model in Sikkim. The guests can learn about local life, local cuisine, and the hospitality practised by the community and stay on top of their professional obligations.

Digital Nomad Village is more than infrastructure and more than building a community. Professionals will be brought together through regular workshops, cultural exchange programs and networking sessions that will enable them to work together in a motivating environment. This would be based on international trends that have been evident in destinations such as Madeira in Portugal and Bali, which have been able to draw international digital workers.
