Borong Homestay

It feels great to stay so close to nature. Good food. Cozy rooms. All the basic amenities are there from a Homestay perspective. Enjoyable mountain beauty. Amazingly peaceful.

Beautiful place. Refreshing. Thank you Sanjok ji for the facilities. Perfect offbeat destination.

Borong Nature Camp is one of the most best places to stay in Borong. The view of the Himalayas is marvelous, and the rooms are so clean and cozy. The staff are super kind and caring. They provide food that will remind you of your childhood.

The extra star is solely for the view. Location: It is a remote location and no bones are made about it being otherwise. As predictable in Sikkim, after a point the roads become bad. Someone mentioned Google map not giving the correct location and that is correct information. Property: My lasting impression is that low investment was a priority when putting together the property. The ragged furniture in the dining area, the way the kitchen is kept, the maintenance of the grounds, the material used to put together the rooms...all have given this impression. Rooms and maintenance: The first room we were shown to had bare minimum leg space, no storage space and no basin in the bathroom (It is installed outside the room). The room needed cleaning. The room we finally shifted into (We had the luxury of choosing because the other guests hadn't arrived) had more leg room, storage and basin inside the bathroom (It's funny how relieved such a basic thing made us!). A couple of the rooms we had looked into made us feel bad for whoever would have to be there. Food: On arrival, the lunch was just edible. We were expecting homely food but cooked by someone who knows how to cook. On speaking to the girl employed there, I learnt she was the cook for that meal and it was one of the few times she had ever cooked. At that point, we were searching for a positive spin to our stay at Borong Nature Camp. We found it & were thankful that we had booked for 1 night only! Having said that, dinner and breakfast were better experiences. Not great, just better. Service: The locals employed don't seem to have too long an experience that managing a place like this well, needs. They were dealing with their work in the way their limited experience had taught. During the time we spent there, no one of "manager" stature was there. So, if something needed looking into, there wasn't an experienced person to talk to. We handled what we could. The place is run in the same way many others are where the owner or manager is not present. The only saving grace is the view that is outside the window when one wakes up in the morning.

We had a great time there. Loved every bit of it. The property was amazing. Very raw and refreshing. The staff was really nice and helpful too. Sanju was always considerate and understanding. His brother cooked delicious meals. Overall we had a great time and will surely visit again and will recommend to our friends and family too
