Homestays is the hottest trend in the hospitality sector that is embracing tourists like never before.How does one plan for a holiday? Zero in on a destination, fix the dates, book a hotel, buy a handy guide, hire a cab, see all the tourist destinations, strike out the place in your list of dream destinations and return with that vacation smug. Perfect? Almost. Well, why don’t you consider this.
Replace the ’sherwani’ clad, long moustached guard at the hotel entrance with a warm family waiting to embrace you into their homes and hearts. Delete the hotel food and add a wholesome home cooked meal that is typical of the cuisine of the place you are visiting. You can also learn to make some delicacies if you want to! Instead of that clock work precision sight-seeing with a tourist guide book, what if you could interact with the locals, feel the culture and learn about the nuances of your favourite holiday spot?
