Alquileres para vacaciones en Surendranagar

We didn't want to end our three months' trip to India in a big city, but wanted to experience Indian village life instead. We were very happy to have chosen to stay in Neetaben's Homestay. For us, it was heaven on earth, even though my wife was ill most of the time. It surely is not for anyone: it is fairly basic. But you really have everything you need: a clean Indian toilet, a clean bathroom with cold shower and possibility to ask for buckets of hot water, a private bedroom with very comfortable Gujurati beds, and homely Gujurati food cooked by the host. You get introduced to neighbours, friends and family - it is a wonderful community. We prepared chenna dal rothla - a typical Gujurati dish in this season, as the chickpeas are ripe - together in a farm in the neighbourhood and spent hours talking. We met many of the women of the family. If you don't know any Gujurati, there is a language barrier, which in our case was solved by the grandson of the host, who speaks English fluently.

We had an amazing stay at Rehanaben's place. Its very close to the salt desert and wild ass sanctuary. Rafeek Bhai and Rehana Ben are awesome hosts and made us feel at home. The food was delicious and they even let us use their washing machine. We got a chance to witness the life of salt workers and it was a very humbling experience.

Ishwarbhai was very helpful for everything. The location was very peaceful. My family enjoyed very much. I do say that it was bit pricey for stay but still the stay was very relaxing.

Although we had difficulty to find the right location, during our stay in a brand new house, stone throw away from SEWA office, we had a very heartwarming welcome from Rihanna and her family. She was a great caretaker and the breakfasts and dinners she made for us, were amazing. They lived opposite and took really good care of us. It’s a great place to stay for experiencing rural life at the edge of Little Rann of Kutch.
