This homestay was located in a quiet spot literally on the edge of the jungle. We stayed two nights and Rama was extremely helpful organising us a good rickshaw driver to get us around and provide other local tips. We really appreciated getting breakfast early both mornings. The rooms were comfortable and clean. More

In the morning, you have the soft and lazy sunshine coming through the branches and leaves, singing... More
