Sonkupi Eco Stay

Sonkupi Eco Stay offers a peaceful, village-side escape in the Ajodhya Hills region, close to the primary school at Baghmundi and the quiet lanes of Chirugora-Pardi. Surrounded by greenery and hills, it’s a comfortable base for travelers who want nature, culture, and simplicity without feeling cut off from basic comforts. The stay has reliable electricity, making it easy to charge cameras and phones after a day outdoors. A laid-back seating area provides space to unwind, sip tea, and watch rural life unfold at its own slow pace. Evenings are a highlight: guests gather around a campfire under a starry sky, sharing stories and local tales. On request, chicken BBQ adds a delicious smoky touch to the night, perfectly paired with the cool hillside breeze. From here, the Ajodhya Hills landscape opens up in every direction. You can explore scenic waterfalls like Turga Falls and Bamni Falls, where forested paths and rocky cascades create ideal picnic and photography spots. The Lower Dam and Upper Dam are calm waterfront escapes, popular for quiet walks, sunset views, and reflective moments by the water. Marble Lake, with its clear, still surface framed by stone, offers a different, almost surreal side of the region. Culture lovers will enjoy a visit to Charida Mukhosh Village, known for its traditional Chhau dance masks. Watching artisans at work, shaping and painting expressive faces, offers a glimpse into the area’s living heritage and makes for meaningful souvenirs. For wide-open vistas, the Ajodhya Hill View Point rewards early risers and sunset chasers with sweeping panoramas of hills, forests, and tiny villages below. With easy reach from Barabhum Railway Station and good road connectivity to nearby towns, Sonkupi Eco Stay combines the tranquility of a rural retreat with the practicality that travelers appreciate: straightforward access, cozy communal spaces, warm campfire evenings, and a location that makes day trips to waterfalls, dams, lakes, and craft villages both simple and rewarding.
