Homestay

Harish Ji arranged a very good hotel for us in Ayodhya and took care of the arrangements in both Ayodhya and Prayagraj. When he was away, his son Girish Ji made sure things were handled. We’re grateful to Harish Ji and Girish Ji for their excellent service and hospitality, and we’ll definitely visit again. There were seven of us in the family, and we had a wonderful, memorable trip to Varanashi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj. I contacted Harish Ji well before traveling, and he guided us through planning the whole trip. He arranged lodging, transport, guides, a boat ride, and all the Darshans. Having a wheelchair arranged for my mother at every place was a huge help. We stayed in an 8-bed, 3 BHK apartment at Homestay Varanashi. It was clean and neat, felt like home, and gave us lovely time together as a family.

The meals were the highlight for me, fresh, hygienic, delicious, and full of authentic local flavors. Each one felt lovingly prepared, and it was comforting to come back to home-cooked food after a day of sightseeing. The hosts were warm, friendly, and attentive, making sure I was comfortable. It felt more like being part of a family than staying as a guest. The homestay was clean and comfortable, and conveniently located for visiting the city and nearby ghats. I had a wonderful stay in Varanasi and would gladly return. I’d recommend it, especially if you enjoy good food and genuine hospitality. ✌️

For our group of nine, Harish ji arranged everything for our first visit to Kashi, from the two-car airport pickup and breakfast to the homestay and sightseeing. The Kashi outings included a boat ride, ganga Aarti, Sarnath, shopping, and all the major temples, and everything was smoothly arranged. The food prepared by Ms Mallika ji and her team was fingerlicking good, and Harish ji and the whole team took great care of us. He also organized our two taxis onward to Ayodhya and the tour of all the temple visits there. We contacted Mr Harish for our two-night stay and sightseeing, including the Ayodhya trip, on a strong recommendation from past guests.

Mallika aunty’s cooking was amazing. Her food was more than delicious, it felt like comfort food, and if there were an award for the world’s best Dal-rice, she’d win without question. Rampal uncle was a great travel companion, while talking with Tiwari uncle, who felt like an old friend rather than just a driver, was full of laughter and new information. Suraj promptly helped us with whatever we needed. Harish uncle helped plan our journey through Kashi’s narrow lanes and arranged our travel. He made sure we could cover Varanasi’s major attractions without wasting time. The phrase _atithi devo bhava!_ fits the hospitality at Mr. Harishji’s homestay. I had a fantastic visit and we chose to stay there again, about a month after our last trip. Thanks for making this trip even more memorable with such a great stay and warm hospitality. 🙏🏻
