About Us

Rhenock House was established in 2004 in a residential locality of Development Area in Gangtok, Sikkim. The name Rhenock alludes to our ancestral home in a village of Renak in East Sikkim. The term Renak is a combination of two Bhutia terms; ‘re’ meaning soil and ‘nak’ connoting black. Rhenock is its anglicised derivative.

Our family lived in Renak for several generations. Four generations ago, the Late Rai Saheb Ratna Bahadur Pradhan and Babu DurgaSamsher Pradhan established a thriving horticulture business there. They started the famous Chandra Nursery in Rhenock which saw its zenith in the 1930s.

" Those were glorious years, and it was this single establishment, rather an institution, that was responsible for spreading the name of Sikkim far and wide across the globe. Even today the curators of the premier botanical gardens in UK and the Continent mention with pride that the primulas and rhododendrons growing in their gardens mostly came through the Chandra Nursery of Rhenock in the Sikkim Himalayas.
