Yakten, located in Sikkim, India, is aiming to attract digital nomads seeking a nature-focused lifestyle. The Nomad Sikkim initiative, in partnership with an NGO, aspires to develop the area into a hub for remote work. With approximately 1.7 million digital nomads in India, the village hopes to boost its local economy. Facilities include coworking spaces, high-speed internet, and organic meals, although the cost may be prohibitive for some Indian workers. The initiative promotes a purposeful tourism approach, blending local culture with the digital economy.
What Nomad Sikkim is doing is connecting that cultural strength with the global digital economy. This is tourism with purpose, where visitors don't just come and go, but become part of the local story, supporting livelihoods and preserving heritage.
The village has eight 'homestays,' 18 rooms, and coworking space. Nomad Sikkim also boasts high-speed internet with backup generators, and organic meals.
