ROCKY ISLAND · SAMSING · DOOARS

Suryodaya Homestay

Eat well, sleep easy, wake to the river.

NAMASTE, WELCOME

A family home above the river

Suryodaya — meaning sunrise — is our family home perched on a cliff above a flowing river at Rocky Island, Samsing, in the Dooars. Wake to birdsong and mist, eat home-cooked meals with us, and let the sound of the water slow your days.

Here, mornings smell of wood-smoke and fresh chai. Evenings are the sound of the river. And nights are truly dark — the kind you only find in the jungle.
