Sen offers a world of authentic and diverse experiences, designed to create lasting impressions and meaningful connections. Witness a shepherd leading his goats home at dusk, experience the unhurried rhythm of the rural life on a tour through the hills, or simply take a gentle morning stroll with a guide through the rich flora and fauna. Here, adventures range from the thrilling to the tranquil, allowing each guest to discover the landscape, culture, and wildlife of the region at their own pace.
Head out in an open-top jeep with a naturalist, following a scenic route that rises from the riverbanks to pine forests above. Along the way, watch for subtle traces of wildlife-yellow-throated martens, barking deer, and even leopards on a late evening drive.
Begin your journey at the riverbed, trekking along the river as rising pines line the path and parakeets wheel overhead.
On the return, cross paths with shepherds herding their goats home after a day in the hills, while the sun dips behind distant hills and smoke rises from village chimneys, marking the close of the day.
Set on a gentle incline, Jhatri Village invites you to wander its lanes, where pakka and kaccha homes stand side by side and Bhutia dogs roam alongside. A resident may share stories of the village over a cup of chai, while children head to school and villagers tend their farms, growing produce for their own tables.
Expert naturalists lead birdwatching walks through the surrounding forests, riverbanks, and open meadows, where more than 238 species have been recorded. Each excursion offers a chance to witness the region’s vibrant birdlife ranging from Kalij pheasants and darting flycatchers to elusive warblers. Red-billed blue magpies and White-crested laughing thrushes are almost always present, often even spotted from the suites, their calls punctuating the day and bringing the forest closer.
