Our stay for three days at the Sewa Kunj Ecostay was truly delightful. Surrounded by picturesque natural beauty, the peaceful atmosphere was enhanced by the cheerful chirping of Himalayan birds throughout the day. The food was delicious, fresh, and homely. What made the experience even more special was the warm hospitality of the smiling and caring host Himadri babu and Gopa devi, who ensured our comfort at every step. A perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. A short treck to the Pime forest guided by Himadri babu was a marvelous experience. Specially our little ones enjoyed the Bunk Beds. They were equally Happy.

The hospitality of the hosts was exceptional, making us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. One of the highlights of the property was the peaceful natural environment.

Every meal was delicious, fresh, and prepared with great care, giving us a taste of authentic homely cuisine.

প্রকৃতির কোলে চার দিনের অনবদ্য অভিজ্ঞতা শহরের কোলাহল ছেড়ে ধীরে ধীরে যখন গাড়ি কালিম্পং জেলার আঁকাবাঁকা পাহাড়ি পথে উঠতে থাকে, তখন থেকেই প্রকৃতির এক অন্যরকম আবেশ মনকে ঘিরে ধরে। গন্তব্য — চারখোল; সবুজ পাহাড়, মেঘ, পাখির ডাক আর শান্ত পরিবেশের জন্য পরিচিত এক মনোমুগ্ধকর গ্রাম। চারখোলে পৌঁছে প্রথমেই চোখে পড়ে দূরের নীল পাহাড়, মেঘে ঢাকা উপত্যকা আর চারপাশ জুড়ে অসংখ্য বুনো ফুল। সন্ধ্যার নরম আলোয় পাহাড়ি আবহ যেন আরও রহস্যময় হয়ে ওঠে। চারখোলের সৌন্দর্য চারখোলের প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্য ভাষায় প্রকাশ করা কঠিন। ভোরবেলায় মেঘের ফাঁক দিয়ে পাহাড়ের চূড়া দেখা, চারপাশে সাদা ফুলের সমারোহ, ঠান্ডা হাওয়া আর দূরে পাহাড়ি গ্রামের দৃশ্য — সব মিলিয়ে যেন এক স্বপ্নের পৃথিবী। সন্ধ্যায় পাহাড়ি আকাশে মেঘের খেলা ও নীরব পরিবেশ মনকে এক অদ্ভুত প্রশান্তি দেয়। শহুরে ব্যস্ততা থেকে দূরে কয়েকটা দিন প্রকৃতির এত কাছে কাটানো সত্যিই স্মরণীয় হয়ে থাকবে। ওখানে আমাদেরকে হোমস্টে ছিলো SEWA KUNJ ECO STAY ঠিক যেন পাহাড়ে আমাদের নিজেদের বাড়ি ও রান্নাঘর, যেখানে হিমাদ্রিদার আন্তরিকতায় আমরা আপ্লুত! পাখি পর্যবেক্ষণের বিশেষ অভিজ্ঞতা এই সফরের অন্যতম আকর্ষণ ছিল বার্ডিং। আমাদের সঙ্গে ছিলেন অভিজ্ঞ বার্ড গাইড হিমাদ্রি দা Himadri Das , যাঁর দক্ষতা ও অভিজ্ঞতা পুরো সফরকে আরও সমৃদ্ধ করে তোলে। ভোরের নীরবতা ভেঙে বিভিন্ন প্রজাতির পাখির ডাক যেন পাহাড়কে জীবন্ত করে তোলে। এই সফরে দেখা মিলেছে নানা রঙের ও বিরল কিছু পাখির, তার মধ্যে বেশিরভাগই দেখা মিলছে আমাদের হোমস্টের বাগানে, যেমন— 1. Rufous-necked laughingthrush 2. Rusty-cheecked scimitar babbler 3. Russet sparrow 4. Himalayan bulbul 5. Tickel's leaf warbler 6. Blue whistling thrush 7. Scarlet minivet 8. Large hawk cuckoo 9. Grey treepie 10. Lesser coucal 11. Himalayan black bulbul 12. Orange-bellied leaf bird 13. Black-winged cuckoo shrike 14. Long-tailed shrike 15. Oriental turtle dove 16. Green-backed tit 17. Chestnut-tailed sterling 18. Verditer flycatcher 19. Olive-backed pipit 20. Common Rosefinch 21. Grey-backed shrike 22. Black-throated sunbird 23. Himalayan cutia 24. Sultan tit 25. Long-tailed broadbill 26. Himalayan black lored tit 27. Lesser Necklaced thrush 28. Rufous sibia 29. Lesser yellownap 30. Golden thoated barbet 31. Maroon oriole 32. Small Niltava 33. Square-tailed Drongo cuckoo 34. Grey-hooded warbler 35.Himalayan Shrike Babbler 36.Himalayan Raven 37. Bronze Drongo 38. Rufous bellied Eagle 39. Barn Swallow 40. Blue winged laughing thrush হিমাদ্রি দাস প্রতিটি পাখির পরিচয়, স্বভাব ও আবাসস্থল সম্পর্কে বিস্তারিত তথ্য দেন। তাঁর গাইডেন্সে জঙ্গলের নিরিবিলি পথে হাঁটতে হাঁটতে পাখি খোঁজার অভিজ্ঞতা ছিল সত্যিই অসাধারণ! ফেরার সময় মনে হচ্ছিল, চারখোল যেন শুধু একটি ভ্রমণস্থল নয় — এটি প্রকৃতিপ্রেমী ও বার্ডিং অনুরাগীদের জন্য এক স্বর্গ। পাহাড়, ফুল, পাখি আর মেঘের এই অপূর্ব মিলন আগামী দিনেও মনে রয়ে যাবে। বিশেষ ধন্যবাদ হিমাদ্রিদা-কে, তাঁর আন্তরিক সহযোগিতা ও অসাধারণ বার্ডিং গাইডেন্সের জন্য। এই সফর নিঃসন্দেহে জীবনের অন্যতম সুন্দর অভিজ্ঞতা হয়ে থাকবে।
