Imagine waking up in a Naga home, amid tribals who were once known
for the practice of head hunting, and plucking tea leaves or lemons
through the day. Or having a close brush with a herd of elephants in the
morning and calling it a night with a mug of 'apong' or rice beer in an
Assamese village.
If you are looking for a vacation away from the usual hill stations,
then exploring homestays in India's northeast could be the answer.
According to tourism experts, the sector has grown by 10 per cent in the
past year.
Sabina Chopra, co-founder of travel portal yatra ,
told us: "The northeast is slowly but steadily catching the eye of the
tourist. Due to lack of infrastructure, in terms of good hotels and
resorts, tourists are willing to explore newer options like the
homestays."
This sector involves travellers staying with a host family to get a first-hand experience of local life and culture.
