sustainable homestays india

Mustafa P A converted a 5.5-acre barren mining site into Greenara Homestay, a green oasis with thousands of trees, man-made ponds, and mud cottages.

Situated in Kalimpong, West Bengal, Kabir Pradhan and Ahana Gurung's homestay is made of mud and bamboo. It's an ode to the couple's love for their hometown and commitment to sustainable living.

Chhotaram Prajapat, whose family has woven 'dhurries' in Rajasthan for over seven centuries, launched a mud homestay business inspired by UK tourists. They now welcome guests to their Salawas village home, providing authentic experiences while championing local crafts and culture.
