Local Home Stay! What to expect? | |||||||
As far as we know, there are no * ratings awarded for homestays yet. As the title suggests, you will be a guest in someone’s home. We often use homestays when trekking and visiting minority tribal villages or remote areas, allowing our guests to experience life in these more remote destinations. We also feature a handful of city-center homestays. Homestay accommodation is basic but comfortable; bedding and mosquito nets are provided. The standard of facilities varies depending on location. |
