Born from a Love of
Nature & Hospitality
Acorn Homestay began as a humble dream — to share the extraordinary beauty of Shergaon with the world. Our family has called Naktongbow home for generations, deeply rooted in the culture, forests, and rhythms of West Kameng. What began as hosting a few guests has grown into a labour of love, where every visitor becomes part of our extended family.
When you stay with us, you experience the full warmth of Arunachali hospitality — home-cooked meals made from local recipes, evening bonfires under a sky full of stars, guided walks through forests that hum with birdsong, and conversations that feel like old friendships rekindled.
We are committed to sustainable, responsible tourism. We work closely with our local community, support local artisans, and ensure that every stay contributes positively to the ecosystem and culture of Shergaon. When you choose Acorn, you choose a more meaningful way to travel.
Your Hosts at Acorn
The family behind Acorn is your family during your stay
The Head of Family
Born and raised in Shergaon, our patriarch knows every trail, bird, and village story in the region. He leads treks, shares folklore, and ensures every guest feels genuinely welcomed from the first handshake.
The Matriarch
The magic behind every meal. A specialist in Arunachali cuisine, she transforms fresh local produce into extraordinary flavours — from aromatic rice dishes to crispy snacks and warming soups that guests rave about.
The Young Host
Passionate about nature and wildlife, our youngest host is the go-to person for Eaglenest birding expeditions, forest treks, and village walks. With a keen eye and encyclopaedic local knowledge, he turns every outing into an adventure.
Our Values
Eco-Friendly
We minimise our footprint — composting, reducing plastic, using local produce, and encouraging guests to respect the forest and wildlife that surround us.
Community-First
We source food locally, engage local guides, and reinvest in Shergaon's community — ensuring tourism benefits those who live and breathe this land every day.
Authentic Experience
No staged performances or packaged tours — just real life in a real Arunachali home. Every meal, story, and sunrise is genuinely ours to share with you.
