Welcome to Dehradun Homestay
- Homestay in Dehradun
All my elders kept saying ~ when i
was in my mother’s womb, she was bitten by
the travel bug. I was lucky to have got
married into a family that was bitten by a
hoard of big king size travel bugs. Ever
since I am married, I have been in and out
of Mumbai – exploring the globe. In spite of
my husband being a CA and we having to bring
up two sons, we have somehow managed to live
out of suitcases and see as much of world as
is possible.
In all these travels, my most precious
memories are of staying in homes of friends
n locals and i am extremely grateful for
that. This is one of the main reason that i
have decided to open my home (difficult) and
heart (easier) for like minded people to
come and stay with us and enjoy home
comforts in Dehradoon.

I am located at far end of Rajpur Road so it
is away from the maddening crowd and chaos
of the city. The location is peaceful yet
easily approachable and to my luck, the rear
end of the house is accompanied by a large
Mango orchard…Sad that we don’t get to eat
those mangos but certainly – we enjoy
company of many a birds specially parrots
and a pair of Hornbills who nest there! |
My home is an Indian home complete with our
caretaker who will typically serve you hot
breakfasts and innumerous Teas made to your
taste and our Dog Mario will give you
company while you are in the verandah. Our
home is open to all who value comforts of
the home and finer things - sparkling clean
toilets , white bed sheets , warm quilts
accompanied by soft pillows and hearty
breakfasts
My home is popular especially with Dosco
families (more so as my son is in The Doon
School ) and other boarding schools like
Wellams, Oaklands etc. Parents typically
stay for night outs n day outings.Moms can
use kitchen facilities for cooking goodies
for their kids.
I also welcome (a really soft corner of our
hearts ) trekkers from the nearby Himalayan
Mountains. Being a trekker, I know hoe
invaluable are those hot water baths, soups
and clean linen. I know how these facilities
generally taken for granted feel heavenly
after a good mountain trek. u can also use
the washing machine for cleaning clothes and
then sit in the lawn to soak in the sun.
Enjoy the comforts of warm rajais while your
sleeping bags remain packed in your bags!
Tourists in transit will find my place comfy
for that stopover on their way to Chardham
or while coming back from a pilgrimage or
hill stations like Mussorie, Dhanolty or
Kanatal etc.
I would not be surprised if having come
once, you would wish to come back again!
