India's First Digital Nomad Village in Yakten

completed

The state of Sikkim has launched a dedicated digital nomad village in Yakten, a scenic hamlet in the Pakyong district, under the "Nomad Sikkim" pilot project. The initiative aims to transform the remote Himalayan village into a year-round destination for remote workers by providing key digital infrastructure, upgraded eco-friendly homestays, and improved water access. The project promotes rural entrepreneurship and sustainable tourism to boost local livelihoods and is planned to be monitored over a three-year pilot phase for potential replication in other regions.
