Familia relajada en Dehradun, Ind.

The minute you see Murali and Seema's smile, you feel welcome and at home. They show kind and loving interest for everyone around them, during and even after the encounter. They're available to help you anytime. Dinner time in family are the best, talking with Seema while she cooks a colored and spicy meal, exchanging ideas with Murali, listening to him talking about meditation, or Seema about their infotainment project through India.
They are the best family to enter peacefully in this beautiful country!

ich habe meine 2 wochen in indien bei der familie murali und seema verbracht. alles war gut das zimmer war sauber, gross und das essen war super. die familie sind sehr freundlich. hier fuhlt sich niemand alleine. auch zum einkaufen ist es praktisch in paar minuten zu fuss ist man in thakur village da bekommt man fast alles. es war fuer mich eine neue erfahrung. so sieht man wie eine familie lebt wie sie sind und was sie tun.

es war eine schöne zeit hatte mühe von der Familie mich zu verabschieden.

Simply a perfect homestay experience!

During my 3 month journey through South-India I didn't find any place where I felt more welcome!
Murali, Seema and their two children are very friendly and extremely helpful. They helped me with everything, told me many nice stories about India and helped me planing my cycle tour.

The room is comfortable and the food ... oh the food was very very delicious! Thx Seema !

The location:
You can reach Mumbais center within 1 1/2 hours by train. This is Ok and it is also a nice experience to drive with the train through Mumbai.
Only 2 km to the north is the entrance to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The Kanheri Caves and the view from the mountains are great!

I couldn't have imagined it to turn out any better. A wonderful, perfect homestay experience! ..with a fully comfortable room, delicious food and loads of helpful assistance in terms of being a tourist in Mumbai or for travelling in India in general. If that wouldn't have been already more than enough, I really enjoyed the chance to exchange ideas, to learn about different aspects of indian culture.
Many thanks for the warm, welcoming way of making me feel at home!

As Mumbai is a HUGE city, guests who only visit for a short period of time should be aware, that it takes about 1 1/2 hours to travel to the main tourist part of Mumbai (i. e. South Mumbai). But where else could one experience one aspect of "real" Mumbai life better, than in travelling by local trains. As each part of this maximum-city has it's own character, I'm very glad to have gotten to know other parts as well and fully recommend it.
