are also private homes stays built to offer exclusivity
to give freedom and comfort to the visiting families.

hosts they experienced places they visited extensively,
and get a deeper insight from participation in
the daily lives of local people. Urban Homestays

local foods, sleep in a local rural homestead,
herd cattle, use oxen plough, ride bicycles, and
attend market days and other village chores. Some
