On 13/12/09 I along with my three friends visited the Banjara Retreat & Camps in Sojha. Ajay I fully agree with your comments about them. One thing which I suggested Banjaras was to place a beautifull and catchy board where we park car. Try Trout fish there, it is soooooo tasty, I just cannot explain in words. Banajaras are spreading globally and trust me every where they give their 200% to the visitors. Their camp in Sangla is a lovely place to experience and the drive to Sangla is adventures.

Even the other property of Banjara camps which is in Sangala is excellent. The place is like heaven and on top of it the people and their hospitality is great.

Hi Sourav – yes, that is what makes them so special. I always make new friends too when I stay in Banjara. They are special.

I have just been back availing the “Best of Banjara” .It has been so hassale free—just few mails and money transfer thats all–my wife and my self was picked up from delhi airport and dropped at delhi.It may look a bit pricey but the approach,behaviour ,hospitality is one notch above—value for money.Infact other guests we met at the various places of Banjara Camps speak of the same.

Hi Shubhanjan, here go the answers:

- You could try Sep / Oct for clear skies. June – August might be cloudy because of the monsoons. But the weather can change anytime in the mountains.
- You could go any time of the year except maybe December and Jan when snow could block your movements.
- There are some shacks / low cost hotels which backpackers and cyclists use just outside this property. I am afraid I don’t have their contact or tariffs.
- It is safe to leave the car on the road. I do it everytime, it is very safe.
- How can the tariff be one time? It has to per night.

Hope you go to Sojha and have a great time.

Cheers… Ajay

Dear Mr. Jain,

This being a charming read, I have added ‘Shoja’ to the list of places where I am going to travel sometime in the future. A very lovely destination I must say.

On this occasion, please allow me to ask a few questions to you; the answers of which I will be eagerly awaiting.

Which time of the year is it best to visit this place so that I can have clear sky and have another charming folder in my gallery of photography? Is it August? Or May? Or some other part of the year?

Is this retreat and cottage the only place available there to stay? Or there are other places too?

I felt a little bit awkward of keeping the car somewhere away from the cottage. I mean where exactly are the cars kept and in whose hands? Will they be safe?

The tariff that you had mentioned, is it one time or per day?

A little bit of your personal opinion on the weather would also be of help to me.

I will be eagerly waiting for your exhaustively informative reply.

Thank you for already sharing such charming facts with us.

Regards,

Subhanjan Sengupta.
