Travel local with these beautiful homestays around the country

BACKYARD TRAILS

Covid-19 has managed to put a rather long break in our collective wanderlust. But being stuck at home for so long has only made us dream of all the places we are yet to see, and the experiences we are yet to have. While exploring the spectacular coral reefs of Maldives or cycling down a busy London road might still be a distant dream, you don’t entirely need to squish the hodophile in you. Instead of hopping on a plane and exposing yourself to innumerable germs, we recommend exploring the hidden local gems right here in India.

These stunning homestays, farms and retreats across the country showcase a sustainable, safe and local way of travelling. Besides, getting in sync with nature after being cooped up indoors will do you a world of good.
