Home Stay - Tea Tourism - Eco Tourism

We use Tourism as a tool  to devlop or promote few home stay. We take extra care to spread awareness of local culture, festival and lifestyle. We as a tourism house did not discover the destination we just developed a network of small operators and knowledgeable / passionate individuals to develop home stay so that our activities helps local people socially and economically.  Interaction with travelers and the knowledge that they are visiting for the richness in the culture brings in a sense of pride amongst the people and also brings in supplementary sources of income hence it makes economic sense to the villagers as well. We only try to educate and accomodate our guest to such opportunities and they also help us by believing in us.

We use our time and patience to identify our partners in each destination. The focus was always about finding partners who are already involved in working with local people. Home stay or tea tourism is two of the options most popular among our guests. The stay is with very basic facilities and creates less impact environmentally.
A concept preferred by most of our guest and is fast catching up locally and internationally.  Home stay is arranged and run by villagers and it includes staying in Tea Gardens or Tea Estate or villages or a whole village set up made especially for the guest. It is known by different name in different region. Birding, short trails, angling are part of the stay and are not spoken or written separately, it is part of the concept.

The stay is simple with basic infrastructure and is about bringing one closer to local cultures and environment. Local guide from the destination will help guest with their cultures and ways of life far better and earn a much needed income. There are festivals and special arrangement for guest who wants more. 

Staying in cottages, fishing, small walks, cooking or simply doing nothing are some of the options travelers ask for. Some basic facilities are being extended to guest and it might not confirm facilities and infrastructure of corporate / Western or like any other International tourism standards. The popularity is fast catching up and many of the places in this region are setting up home stay facilities with some form of adventure for the guest. There are number of such home stay facilities in the region. The visit helps the economy, buying local products, buying art materials and using local villagers as guide or help.A concept preferred by most of our guest.
