About the Homestay
- Welcomes
- Males

- Couples
- Families
- Students
The guestrooms on offer at these homestays are kept properly clean, brightly coloured and decked with local handicrafts. They feature traditional type wooden bed with comfortable mattresses that are placed on the wooden bed. The blissful feeling of waking up and looking at the beautiful environs outside simply cannot be described in words.
Since these homestays are isolated rural homes, much should not be expected in terms of modern comforts; amenities are more of basic and minimal nature. On request, a bucket of hot water is provided for bathing while toilets are supposed to be shared with the host family. Laundry and telephone services may or may not be available, while electric supply tends to be irregular.
Activities:
As a guest at these homestays, one can get involved in the day-to-day activities of the villagers, such as farming and animal herding. Those interested can also take cooking classes from the homemakers.
Food Delights:
Another wonderful reason for staying with the locals is that one gets to eat the delicious home-cooked food. The culinary tradition of Jaunsar-Bawar is deep-rooted in growing food organically and most of the recipes use items that are either found naturally in the Himalayas or are cultivated locally. Jaunsar-Bawar (Tons Valley) food is very simple but extremely nutritious. For generations people here have mastered the skill of bringing the bio-diversity of the Himalayan eco-system to their plates.
Meals will be served in the host kitchen in Indian way of sitting on the floor.
Things to note:
• Fitness: To reach the homestay, you have to walk up for 10-15 minutes on steps and stone mountain paths. The staff will be happy to help you with your luggage.
• Pets: Pets are not allowed.
• Water: Natural source water is available at the house.
• Respect the local culture and refrain from physical intimacy in public places.
• Local food is great. Try it as much as possible and avoid packaged food. Ask for modifications in the food according to your taste, instead of wasting it.
