Light on the wallet 

This is where home stays actually make the biggest difference. When you compare the costing of a home stay with a regular hotel or guest house, you’ll find at least a 20-40% price difference in what the costing is like. The reason being, home stays are run by families and by default have lesser expenses as compared to what a hotel has. 

Boost the local economy

The head line pretty much sums it up. Hotels and guest houses are mostly operated on lease by people from outside the village. So whatever you end up spending will go outside the village. While in a home stay, it’s the complete opposite, it’s owned and run by people from the village. It might not be a huge amount but it will definitely make a massive difference to the local economy of the village.  

Blend into the community faster 

Homestay owners will always go out of their way to help you as a traveller get the experience you desire faster than what a hotel owner will. Be it a visit to the local monastery or even attending a local event in the village. They will make sure you get the best experience possible at the time you spend there.
