Yakten, a remote village in Sikkim's Pakyong district, has transformed into India’s first digital nomad village, offering high-speed internet in the Himalayan hills. Officially launched by the state, the initiative allows remote workers to blend work with breathtaking views, butter tea, and peaceful mountain life. Once a quiet hamlet with limited connectivity, Yakten now supports Zoom calls, emails, and digital work amid nature. With enhanced infrastructure and upgraded homestays, the project aims to boost tourism and rural development while promoting sustainable living. The Wi-Fi-powered retreat is a dream come true for professionals seeking a scenic, serene work-life balance. (PC: X)
