The Sojha property is lovely although it is set amidst other private lands too. So you can hear other families around unlike their Sangla property !! :) There are many steps to go down [ or climb up !! ] to reach the retreat so be aware. The staff at the retreat is courteous and good. We enjoyed our stay... More

As usual, banjara location was exotic....winding roads and cold winds - we finally reached banjara rettreat. Rooms are cozy and service standards are high as usual. Recommend checking in early in need to warm up the day to pick up a east facing room. It comes handy when the days are cold and you need to warm up before you... More

Booked several rooms here for our friends at a hefty Rs7000 per room and upon arrival they wanted 4 couples to share a so called suite. Everyone had to go through one of the bedrooms to use the bathroom. We objected to this and eventually they cleaned out a pokey staff room and a massage room and put camp beds... More

Had booked the Cottage room for a 2 night stay. Talked to the host one night prior to confirm that the message has been passed on to the resort from the head office. No problem on that front & upon reaching Shoja found Mr Rishi to be waiting for us. The resort is located at a sharp bend on the... More

Our room had view of valley & the mountains had evergreen pine trees all around. We had unique experience of hailstorm in the evening & saw the green lawn turn into white... More

Sojha is a piece of heaven and the new Banjara Retreat rooms are unbelievable. Curling up with a book in the wood & glass balcony sit out overlooking the valley is an unforgettable experience. Management is extremely helpful and the best thing about the place is the oppurtunity to do the Raghupur Fort and the Serulsar lake treks - manageable... More
