Homestay
Homestay is quite an authentic way of experiencing local culture, as one will be an intimate part of local family, sharing local produce, living space and most importantly even for a brief period, the life of a visitor will intertwine with that of welcoming hosts, an experience that transcends beyond the usual tourism experience. It is no wonder then, this kind of first-hand experience not only connects people to the place, cultural heritages and landscape of one’s trip duration but also helps to connect to the people of the land.
Homestay is gaining popularity in Nepal, after the government of Nepal officially backed the program in the year 2011. This program added a different dimension to tourism sector as it opens of more avenues for the tourist to broaden his/her experience.
In the beginning, these programs were implemented in Lamjung district (Ghalegaun) and Syanga district (Sirubari). These days, with the gaining popularity, many regions including the capital Kathmandu, Makawanpur, Kavrepalanchowk, Chitwan, Ilam, Gorkha, Palpa, Kailali, Kalikot, etc.. offer homstay packages. Generally, it is more convenient for the backpackers or the people on tighter budget but anyone with interest in humanistic side of tourism are more than welcome to explore this. These programs not only boost eco-tourism but it also helps the marginal communities economically, provides learning experience to the host family as well as the guest in the way that will benefit them both, an experience sure to transcend the barriers imposed by language, society and geography.
