Excellent stay and greater experience. Disclaimer : the stay can be reached climbing a fair good number of steps down from the road, remember you have to climb them up as well. But trust me it is totally worth it. The view, the stay, the environment. It is far from the usual hustle of life. Food served is all organic from Mr. Mangal's garden. He cookes great food and talks and entertains you even better. ☺️
There were earthworms everywhere due to the rainy season and so many trees but that is how the forest and hills are. If you cn ignore that the place is heavenly. It has a shaded seating area for lunch or dinner. You have your great view from there while you eat your bamboo chicken. It was just awesome! And nothing like I have every tasted.
There is a small treehouse as well.. i sat there for hours long listening to the green, the hills, its birds... felt euphoric... this is absolutely the right way to disconnect. If you arw a bookworm, carry it there, you will die out of happiness. If you love listening, listen to slow songs or just water/rain audios. Or simply sit there.
The rooms were decent, the water chilled and clean. They ahve the same clean water for drinking as well. Yes, it is that clean and mineral infused from the mountains.
The service was excellent. He was very polite and helpful in his interactions

No luxury but deep in the heart of Nature.
Such nice stay from the far away from City noise and busy life. Specially mention the owner Mangal Da here and his cooked food excellent.
AWESOME EXPERIENCE. MOST RECOMMENDED
Nice
Excellent hospitality.
The key operative words to summarize Ashika Homestay are as follows: tranquil, serene, hideout in the hills, time standing still, cathartic.
Mangal is an amazing all-in-one owner and operator of this property. His self taught culinary skills will leave you drooling for more.
This should rank as a MUST VISIT for the intrepid traveler.
নর্থ বেঙ্গল এর offbeat খারখা গাঁও গিয়েছিলাম যখন তখনই ডিসাইড করে নিয়েছিলাম ফুরুন গাঁও যাবো । অফবিট প্লেস বরাবরই আমার ভালো লাগে । চুপচাপ শান্ত নিরিবিলি পরিবেশে বসে সময় কাটানো আরো সুন্দর হয়ে যায় যখন সামনে পাহাড় থাকে ।
এটা ফুরুন গাঁও এর Ashika Homestay এর একটা রুম , যার ব্যালকনি থেকে এরম পাহাড় দেখা যায় । আর বাইরে বেরোলে আরো সুন্দর অপূর্ব দৃশ্য ।
বৃষ্টির সময় পাহাড়ের সবুজ চোখের মনের শান্তি এনে দেয় ।
এই হোমস্টের ওনার মঙ্গল ভাইয়া ও অতিথিয়েতা করতে কৃপণতা করেন না ।
তাই এই জুন থেকে সেপটেম্বের এর মধ্যে দুদিনের ছুটি নিয়ে কেউ যদি এখানে ঘুরে আসে টানা তিন চারমাসের রিফ্রেশমেন্ট তো পাবেই ।

There are places one visits, and then there are places that quietly remain within the heart long after the journey ends. Our stay Ashika Homestay was one such experience — a retreat wrapped in misty hills, whispering winds, and the gentle stillness of nature.
The homestay stood like a peaceful balcony to the mountains, where every morning arrived with soft sunlight over the valleys, and every night unfolded into a breathtaking canvas of distant lights beneath the Himalayan sky. The calmness of the place felt almost therapeutic, untouched by the chaos of the world.
What made the experience truly memorable, however, was Mangal Da — not merely the owner, but the soul of the homestay. Warm-hearted, humorous, and effortlessly welcoming, he carried the rare gift of making strangers feel like old friends. His songs in the quiet mountain mornings added a magical charm to the atmosphere, as though the hills themselves had found a voice.
Every little need of ours was looked after with genuine care and simplicity. The Bamboo Chicken he prepared deserves a special mention — authentic organic meals cooked with freshness, warmth, and extraordinary taste. Each dish carried the flavor of the mountains and the comfort of home.
The rooms opened to mesmerizing views that made us pause and simply admire nature in silence. It was not just a stay; it was an experience of peace, kindness, music, laughter, and mountain hospitality.
If one seeks not luxury, but serenity and soulful memories, this homestay is a place worth finding.
