WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

“ Debjit and Namrata have many stories to tell about their home place - Kila Dalijoda, about their family and their ancestors who built the mansion and about India. And many places and people to visit around, with their guidance. It made our stay there a life experience. Thanks to them we gain a better and more profound understanding of India, this marvellous country. Our stay will remain in our memories ever. ’’

“ A story book hunting lodge in the beautiful Odisha countryside run by the sweetest warmest family. We went for a boat ride on silent wetland, we cycled through beautiful villages and walked in thick forest. This is a really wonderful place. Debjit and Namrata have restored their ancestral family home with a light tough leaving all the lovely old fashioned style in tact. We had rooftops rooms with views over hills and the well forested garden. Food is amongst the best I have eaten in India, company witty and informative.’’

“ Our 5 days stay in KILA DALIJODA was really an outstanding time ! A Heritage House with a so particular history , so kind and generous hosts sharing with us the family history but also their guidance and explanations when visiting local villages, discovering local art and craft , attending ceremonies as Puja , walking in the Jungle ... Additionnally , each meal was a discovey of cooking specialties , from Bengal or Odissa , anyway always a good surprise . So many experiences that will stay in our memories for a long time, for sure . Thanks again Debjit and Namrata for your so kind and generous sharing during our stay. ’’
