Village Homestays.
With Village Ways you stay in very special village guesthouses, owned and managed by the village committee. We think of the guesthouses as ‘village homestays’ – offering a unique opportunity to experience village life as it is lived today. But these are so much more than typical homestays; you are hosted by a village, rather than just one family and your visit benefits the wider community.
You connect with your hosts in a special way and enjoy life at the heart of a village, without feeling that you are intruding in anyone’s home. The guesthouses are simple and comfortable, gently reflecting the way your hosts live in their own village houses.

A Warm Welcome.
Your village team has received good training in hygiene, house management, hospitality and cooking but they are not professional hoteliers. Their welcome is genuine and warm, their hospitality natural. Your hosts, guides, cooks, housekeepers and porters are all drawn from different families through the village, sharing the pleasure of hosting you and the financial benefit.
There is ongoing monitoring to check these benefits are spread around the households over a season. Delicious home-cooked food, often vegetarian, is prepared in the dedicated kitchens over open fires, with most of the produce coming from the farms in and around the village.
