It was a pleasure to experience genuine village life. Inside room everything was nice and clean. Overall, With aroma of wildflowers and birds chirping all over Orchha makes you feel close to nature. Short of time I just spent 1 night there but will surly go again with family.

We spent 3 nights with Hari's family and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A tuk tuk collected us from Jahnsi station as arranged and delivered us to the homestay. Our room was much larger than expected and was separate to the main house. Nets over beds and windows. Separate toilet/wash room was perfectly adequate. Meals with the family were simple but... More

Friendly guest house where you will learn so much. Great experience and unforgettable too. The family we stayed in for 3 nights was very kind and loved to share. We would have liked to stay longer. The typical food was lovely and the rooms comfortable. Highly recommended for open minded people who are looking for knowing more about Indian culture.

After all, tourism is about discovering not just places but people too. Receiving guests from different parts of the world has been an eye-opener for our host families too. Most have never gone out of Madhya Pradesh. Thanks to all our guests for bringing the world into Orchha. More

I would highly recommend anyone visiting Orchha to stay with friends of Orchha for a truly authentic and heartwarming Indian experience. Living with a local family was amazing. We really enjoyed eating, playing and laughing with our host family. And it's fantastic that all the money goes back into the village. You can really see the difference it is making... More

My boyfriend and I stayed with Hari and Kusum's family for three nights. This homestay program was the highlight of our trip. We had stayed in Delhi and Agra prior to coming to Orchha, so it was definitely a change of pace compared to the loud and aggressive cities. Orchha reminded us of home. It was very quiet and the...

Music transcends all language barriers and attracts all the neighbours. Glad you enjoyed the evening with our local orchestra under a clear, starry night sky and Kusum's cooking. Come again and stay longer. More

It is an absolutely beautiful feeling to be at this homestay. The warmth of people, simple yet comfortable stay and lovely children. Orchha isn't huge but there's still much to explore in this town. Hire a bicycle from the homestay and go around - The forest trail, Betwa river, Ram Raja temple, Chaturbhuj temple, Ram Raja temple, Orchha fort, Chhattris,... More

I stayed with Prajapati family and enjoyed every moment of my stay. Accommodation was provided in a clay hut, which was clean and had all the necessary equipment. The bathroom and shower room were separate, just a few steps away in the courtyard. They were also clean. Food was excellent and a small extra charge even lundry services are provided.... More

We stayed with Kusum family for three nights. It was a great experience to know a little how common indian people live in villages. Even if the place is modest and basic, we felt very welcomed and the family and Ashok (one of the owner) gave us everithing we need in a way that we felt better than at home!... More

I stayed with Hari and family. What an experience! All comforts of a room with the warmth of the villagers. We spent a lazy day loafing and admiring the mahals and temples. Another lazy evening loafing in the market and eating pakoras...The home-stays are great to be at with friends or family or for a solo unwinding experience. This is... More
