Rooms & more
The Orchha Home-stay links responsible tourism with community development. We offer not just board and lodging but an intercultural experience. What better way to discover India than to stay with an Indian family - not a privileged one, but a family of farmers, artisans and labourers who represent the majority of Indians. We want you to experience the hospitality of ordinary Indians who are not professionals of the tourist industry. We, who are working with the local community to raise their standard of living, will use our international background to help you make sense of what you observe, overcome problems you encounter and facilitate your contacts with the inhabitants of the Ganj neighbourhood of Orchha.
Accomodation
You will stay in one of four homes in a simple tiled room that is well adapted to the local climate, clean and comfortable. Each of these houses is equipped with a bathroom and Indian-style toilet that is shared with the family. As water is scarce in the region, we have chosen to build dry toilets that produce good compost and to filter the waste water so that it can be used for irrigation. Yes, our nice, red brick rooms are green too!
Meals
The host families provide tasty, hygienically prepared meals and will dose the amount of spices according to your taste. You should let them know the day before if and when you would like breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sharing a meal with them is often a heart-warming experience.
We also arrange on request cycle tours of the region and visits to surrounding villages, farms, temples, or the Nature Reserve.
