Raahghar - India through its Homes

In this episode of 'Owners Speak', our founder Mayur talks to Dev of Aarish Homestay as he reveals the journey behind its creation. Dev explains how he and his wife, Deepika work with the community around to promote the local culture and cuisine, along with the stay. Hear how passion and perseverance brought this ridge-top haven to life.

In this episode, Mayur speaks with Sejal, owner of Lola cafe in Bengaluru, about planning a solo trip to Bhutan!

Mayur highlights the convenience of flying directly to Paro, saving four days of road travel from and to Bagdogra. The time and effort saved with flying can be better utilised by exploring the less frequented destinations further east. Mayur goes on to recommend staying in Raahghar’s community-centric homestays, which offer the comfort of a 4-star hotel and a connection to local traditions.

In our debut episode, Ronak joins host Mayur about her serendipitous stays at two Raahghar homestays - Namaha and Kaleege House - each marking a birthday trip. Through Ronak’s story, discover what makes Raahghar homestays unique, the shared values they embody, and how they stand apart from typical villa rentals.
