Bastar Homestay

I ordinarily prefer independent travel, but there's no doubt about it: Shakeel is an extraordinarily resourceful person. In 15 visits to India and three separate trips to Bastar, I genuinely believe that Shakeel and his homestay provided an invaluable opportunity to access a part of Chhattisgarh that can be difficult to navigate alone. He went above and beyond my expectations, arranging whatever he could to ensure that I had a worthwhile experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about and see Bastar at the ground level, no matter what places you're interested in exploring. Thanks, Shakeel--I hope to see you again later this year!

I spent a week with Shakeel at his homestay. His home is very comfortable, his cooking excellent and his knowledge of the local area and its people seems boundless. Shakeel was very attentive to my needs and interests and took me to meet artisans and local tribal villages. I was sad to leave the lovely village and the friendly people, but I plan to go back in the future. Thank you Shakeel for a memorable holiday!

Very good and friendly homestay in Chhatisgarh.....and also the only one👍!!!!! Best place to discover the Bastar place, amazing and authentic village.
