&lt;br /&gt;
==Access==&lt;br /&gt;
The Varsey Sanctuary can be reached from three points, Hilley, Dentam and [[Soreng]]. The most popular entry is Hilley since it is approachable by road and Varsey is only 4&amp;amp;nbsp;km trek from this point along an undulating path shaded by different species of rhododendron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tourism ==&lt;br /&gt;
Sikkim government has an arrangement for tourists to stay on top of the hill in a forest barrack. There are now several home-stays at the entrance of Versay Rhododendron Sanctuary as well as at [[Okhrey]], which is a small village inhabited by mainly the [[Sherpa people|Sherpa community]].&lt;br /&gt;
