Walking from village to village in the Himalayas or relaxing in the warm south, you are the special guest of the village in a Village Ways holiday.
Travelling with Village Ways brings you into welcoming villages in unspoiled regions of India to experience the rhythms of life in very special places. Local guides help you connect and interact with your hosts, and you stay in our unique, village-owned guesthouses. Here you are hosted by communities, enjoy delicious local cooking and experience privileged insight into traditional ways of life.
As we all look to travel in a more sustainable way, Village Ways, a social enterprise, works in partnership with our host villages. They benefit directly from your stay and love to welcome guests. With just small numbers of guests at any time, their traditional, agricultural and economic life continues alongside this low-footprint form of tourism. With Village Ways, your holiday is truly a force for positive change.
Our holidays are carefully put together by our dedicated team and are tailored to suit you, designed to make the most of your stay in our partner villages. Prices for our guests based in India are quoted in INR and include accommodation, meals, and private guiding; travel can also be arranged if required.
Prices are based on shared twin rooms and a single room supplement will be charged if required.
We are monitoring the current situation in India closely and we have resumed holidays for our India-based and International guests, following Covid-19 protocols.
Bookings for international guests are available for 2022-23. We are offering flexible bookings. You will receive a full refund if we need to cancel your trip due to Covid-19 travel bans and we will follow all government guidelines in this regard.
