Days here

Things to do, or blissful nothing

Fill the days with safaris, birds and villages — or claim the hammock. Both are fully supported by the management.

Jeep safari into Chilapata

The headline act. Sal forest, elephant country and the Nal Rajar Garh ruins — arranged end-to-end by us.

70+ species listed on the property itself. Early tea, binoculars, and a guide if you want one.

Cycle or walk to the river for sunset. Winter brings a shallow, walkable bank perfect for wading.

An hour through Rava bastis, paddy fields and areca groves with a village guide (₹300, goes to the village fund).

₹800 an evening, snacks included. In winter it runs most nights — the stars do the rest of the show.

Kumargram and Kalchini estates 20–50 minutes away. Go before 9 am for soft light and pluckers at work.

Village skies, zero light pollution. We keep two mats and a star chart by the bonfire.

Help shelling peas, grinding masala or flipping luchis — dinner tastes different when you made it.
