Forget Hotels, These Homestays Will Make You Think Twice
Luxury Guesthouse, Srinagar:
Situated in the posh neighbourhood of Rajbagh, this house is nothing short of a dream house. The French windows that open into the lush garden, decorated with flowers are the highlights. Book lovers can sit down and get drowned in the collection of books here. Pets are welcome too and there is also a special kennel for dogs. There is a restaurant in the garden, which will take you back into Kashmiri history with its mud-plastered walls and lattice work windows.
Birding Trips to Khecheopalri, Sikkim:
Daragaon Village Retreat is run by the warm Gurung family who offer accommodation in traditional huts, made of bamboo and bricks, to travellers. The hosts guide guests for birding trips to Khecheopalri, to the Saturday village market, and on a low-altitude trek to Rani Dunga on request.
