In the short time we stayed there (two nights) they told and showed us so much about indian life, culture, food etc.. So it became the most instructive time of our indian trip. We enjoyed it very much. You really miss... More

The heartwarming care and attentive interest of Renu and his son Rajat made my stay unforgettable; not to mention the homemade excellent indian food. But on top of this, they just made me feel at home. The dinner conversations were culturally so enriching and entertaining, I would have loved to stay longer, but at least I spent two nights in...

It is rare to find in India everything that works! But ExploreIndya organised our trip in every detail, from cars to and from Airports, stays in hotels, and activities. Not one single arrangement went wrong, everything at the price expected and at the time excepted. This was my 17th trip to India and the first time it had worked so... More

Rajat,Mughda and Renu became our new family in India. They are warm, funny and helpful. The food is like love and our cottage was in the middle of their tea plantage. There was even enough space to do Yoga every evening. I can only recommand this place and the family. We learnt a lot about India and felt like home.
