Why choose a homestay over a hotel?

Let's understand why homestay is a better option than a hotel

A homestay is more than just a place to sleep – it's an immersive and authentic way to experience a new destination. When you stay in a homestay, you're not just a tourist passing through, but a welcomed guest. You get to see the local culture up close, connect with the people who live there, and create meaningful memories that last a lifetime.

Homestays are important because they provide a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and understanding. When you stay in a homestay, you're not just a visitor, but an active participant in the local community. You get to experience the daily rhythms of life, from the food that people eat to the customs they follow. You get to see the world through a different lens, and gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and richness of our planet.

About Dala Rooster

National Tourism Award Winner, Best Homestay in Panchgani

Dala Rooster is a bungalow that was built in Panchgani in 2005 with an intention to move there for good. A lot of thought and effort was put in for the construction by us, our friends and family members. However, for one reason or the other, conditions did not permit us to move out of Pune.

Hence the bungalow continued to be used by family and friends as a holiday destination. In between, it was rented out to Voltas for almost three years as their senior management's holiday home.

The bungalow is situated on a land of 12,600 sq. ft., facing the valley. In the monsoons, you can see unobstructed views of the Bhilar waterfalls along with other smaller ones in the vicinity.

I had stayed in the place for 2 nights with my 8 Mo infant and husband and enjoyed every bit of it. Best part of the stay was the hospitality we had been offered and all our requirements specially making baby food were taken care of. The food especially the fish curry was amazing.
