Where do I even begin? I had the best experiences at Country Escape. And I am not exaggerating. The property is excellent, the people and staff were warm, friendly, kind and welcoming, the food was great. they arranged everything for me. at every moment they made sure my stay was comfortable and pleasing. although I went during the monsoon, so I could not get the view of the valley from the balcny, but man the weather, the mist, the clouds, the forests, the trails, the local people, the place, and the experience was nothing short of magical. I am truly grateful to country escape for hosting me. Thank you everyone. I will most certainly be visiting again, when the weather is better and the views are clearer.

When the relentless pace of city life begins to wear us down, our hearts naturally long for a place where time slows, worries fade, and peace takes over. For me, that place is Country Escape Sittong. Tucked away amidst the serene hills of Sittong, this beautiful homestay is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that reconnects you with nature and yourself. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by breathtaking views of rolling mountains draped in floating clouds. As far as the eye can see, nature paints a picture of unmatched beauty. The tea gardens below are a delight for nature lovers. If you’re fortunate, you may catch glimpses of wildlife such as leopards, deer, martens, and a remarkable variety of birds, making every moment feel like a scene from a nature documentary. The hospitality here is truly exceptional. The warmth and genuine care shown by Somnath, Biswajit, and Sannasi create an atmosphere so welcoming that you instantly feel at home. Their kindness transforms a simple stay into a memorable family-like experience. Adding to the charm is the wonderful owner, Shantanu Majumdar, whose gracious nature and personal attention make every guest feel special. And then there is the food—an absolute highlight of the stay. Savoring authentic Bengali fish and rice while surrounded by mist-covered mountains is a pleasure that stays with you long after you’ve returned home. Every meal is prepared with love and served with heartfelt hospitality. Country Escape Sittong is not just a destination; it is a feeling—a place where nature, comfort, and human warmth come together in perfect harmony. It’s the kind of place that captures your heart and leaves you dreaming of your next visit before you’ve even left. If you’re planning a trip to Sittong, make Country Escape Sittong your home in the hills. Chances are, one visit will never be enough.

Did you ever seen Yellow throated Marten, Barking deer, Leopard Scratch marks (and lot more) visiting inside a homestay area almost everyday in North Bengal ? Country Escape Sittong is one such place. No it is not one of your so called "Sittong" it is a paradise built by Santanu Majumdar da in an incredible hamlet called "Toryak Khasmahal" where nature always whispers. Our naturalist Biswajit is one of the best I have ever met in my life and Satyaki (Santanu da's son) is 13 but his knowledge about wildlife & birds can challenge any mature wildlife enthusiasts any day and ofcourse kudos to both the cooks Somnath and Sannashi. Am going back pretty soon it feels like 🙂❤️.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of North Bengal and surrounded by the wonders of nature and wildlife, my stay at Country Escape Homestay was nothing short of magical. As my husband is a wildlife photographer, he had the wonderful opportunity to connect with the homestay owner, who is also a passionate wildlife enthusiast Mr. Santanu Majumder. He explored the rich wilderness and captured some stunning images of beautiful birds, including the elusive Yellow-throated Marten. The delicious homemade food was a true delight, with every meal prepared with love and care. Waking up to the soothing sounds of nature, lush greenery, and glimpses of wildlife made the experience even more special. Looking forward to returning to this little paradise once again.

A Heavenly Retreat & Biodiversity Paradise in the Eastern Himalayas! Our stay at the Country Escape Homestay in Sittong was nothing short of magical. If you are looking to escape chaotic city life and want to experience true Himalayan serenity alongside jaw-dropping wildlife, this place is an absolute masterpiece. **The Location & Pristine Wilderness:** The homestay is beautifully situated, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of rolling green hills and deep valleys. Because it sits right on the edge of untouched, dense sub-Himalayan forests (near the Mahananda and Senchal wilderness tracks), it is an absolute haven for rich biodiversity. It feels like a hidden world of its own. **A Dream Destination for Wildlife & Bird Enthusiasts:** What completely blew us away was the sheer variety of wildlife and avian fauna thriving right around the property. For a passionate birder or nature tracker, sitting on the homestay's open deck with binoculars is pure bliss. During our short stay and treks nearby, the local wilderness came alive. * **The Avian Treasures:** We were lucky enough to spot and hear the beautiful, melodious notes of the **Streaked Laughingthrush** and the **Alpine Thrush**. Flitting through the trees right near our balcony were the elegant **Dark-sided Flycatcher** and the unique **Nepal Fulvetta**. Looking up at the canopy, we even caught a glimpse of the majestic **Oriental Honey Buzzard** soaring above. * **The Elusive Mammals:** The surrounding canopy is home to the stunning **Malayan Giant Squirrel** leaping between branches, and we even spotted a quick **Yellow-throated Marten** and a nocturnal **Civet** near the forest trails. The hosts shared incredible stories of the deeper jungles surrounding Sittong, which act as a corridor for magnificent creatures like the **Wild Boar**, the **Himalayan Black Bear**, and the ultra-elusive **Indian Leopard** and **Black Panther**. Experiencing a place where nature is so fiercely preserved was humbling. **Warm Hospitality & Cozy Comforts:** What truly makes Country Escape stand out is its warmth. The hosts treat you like family from the absolute moment you arrive. Their genuine smiles, impeccable hospitality, and deep knowledge of the local trails and ecology made our hikes safely thrilling. The rooms are incredibly cozy, rustic, and spotless, featuring wooden interiors and attached modern bathrooms with continuous hot water—a huge luxury at this altitude! **Authentic Food:** The culinary experience here is phenomenal. Every meal was prepared fresh using ingredients sourced straight from their local farms. From piping hot *luchis* or *parathas* for breakfast to traditional, comforting chicken curry and local seasonal vegetables for dinner, everything tasted entirely authentic. **Final Verdict:** Country Escape Homestay isn't just a place to sleep; it’s a soulful gateway into the raw, biodiverse heartbeat of North Bengal. Whether you are a hard-core birdwatcher, an adventure seeker, or someone who just wants to stare at the mist-covered mountains, this is a 10/10 destination. We came as guests, left as friends, and will definitely be returning. **Highly, highly recommended!**
