Nature eco lodge holiday rentals in South Asia

One of my best stays and trips ever. The cottage is so comfortable and feels cozy. The porch outside overlooks the entire valley and the hills on the other side. The host’s family is so nice. Damchoe and her family made such delicious Bhutanese food for me and showed such hospitality and kindness and went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Highly recommend.

We visited here for two days, along with our pet dog. It was my dog’s first trip. This stay was exactly what we had hoped for. The way they have maintained this place simply and beautifully, it felt like home. The care taker and the cook were proactive and very polite towards our needs. We would definitely wish to visit again.

Sumedha was an obliging host, his hospitality 1st class. Highly recommend staying here.

1000 characters won’t be able to summarise the goodness of JD bhai, his family, and his abode. There stay shimmers purity and so do the smiling faces of his family. For me, it’s about people as much as it’s about the place… their tranquil eco lodge amidst the pristine beauty of Jibhi compliments the beauty in their hearts. I will be back for a longer stay… many conversations await! Lots of love!

Place was simple and sufficient. Host was welcoming and cooked a really nice breakfast. Overall amazing stay , would recommend.

A serene and secluded retreat in a Rajasthan village. The location is truly isolated, with no one around for a 4 km radius. While this offers peace and tranquility, it can feel a bit eerie at times. The hosts, however, were extremely friendly and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a unique and immersive experience in rural Rajasthan.

What a truly magical place. The photographs of Mount Abode are lovely but I don't think any image will do the place justice. It is a really peaceful retreat away from busy Rishikesh with the most beautiful view of the Shivalik Himalayas that will take your breath away. Waking up and opening your curtains to watch the sunrise behind the mountains from bed is so special. This is a really quiet place. No noise. No traffic sounds. No hectic energy. No crowds. There is no wifi and I had no signal personally. For me, this was completely perfect and a welcome break from any distractions. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in nature in the most beautiful surroundings - look no further. The food is delicious - simple, sattvic and made with love. You will be well-fed 3 times a day and also the chef makes delicious Chai! Yash is very warm, welcoming and accommodating. He is also a fantastic yoga teacher so hopefully you get a morning practice with him. A beautiful dream stay.

Undoubtedly the best home stays in the Parvati Valley Region . You get exactly what you want here “ PEACE” . The best part of the place is that the other guests arriving here are also scrutinized and then taken in the property. Being a solo traveler sometimes we want a safer environment which I got here . I went on hikes alone and was being called by the host almost everyday for just checking in how I am and where I am . This feeling of being taken care has made me fall in love with the hosts and their hospitality . Beautiful , Peaceful and Adventurous is what I experienced here and next time again I would definitely come here . The forest region treks starts from right behind the property and when you come back from the forest the first thing you see is the property which at that moment feels like life saver . Overall I would recommend you to come here to experience PEACE , GOOD HOMELY VIBES , THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE VALLEY .

I came for a day, and stayed for over a month. Old Manali is wonderful, and peaceful place to stay. This guest house is in a great location inside the town. It was a bit hard to find, yet it all worked out in the end. Aayush's friend Anshul was managing the place, and helped me a lot to settle in the place. We went together to the hot spring in Vashist, and he showed me good local places to eat. Also the other guests were relaxed, and welcoming. They were all local digital nomads, we shared evening and food in the place. All in all, this place is a mellow gem in Old Manali with a beautiful view to the mountains. I can definitely recommend it for a short or long stay.

A peaceful and inspiring escape into nature and art 🌸 Tucked away in nature, the space offers the perfect balance of comfort, creativity, and calm. The rooms were clean, thoughtfully designed, and had a very warm, homely feel. The artistic ambience truly set the experience apart — from the earthy architecture to little creative corners that sparked inspiration. The hosts were extremely warm and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the stay. Whether you're looking to unwind, reconnect with yourself, or just soak in some quiet time with friends, this is the place to be. We left feeling refreshed and full of new ideas. Would absolutely love to return!

Everything fine!! very welcoming and helpful

Ceddar hill lodge was definitely one of my best homestay experiences ever! I will cherish the 4 days I spent nestled amidst the hills with a view to die for, enjoying the silence and some great food by the chef. Spent my days reading books with hot cups of coffee, evening barbeques, doing yoga on the terrace, walking around, forest bathing, bird watching, sightseeing & waking up to the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I wish this trip didn't end. Atul and Garima, thank you for your kindness, sensetive concern and prompt responsiveness. We are definitely coming back soon with our friends and family!

The Homestay - Humble. If you're seeking peace and tranquility, you must come here. Sit by the window and all you see is the lush green panorama, all you hear is the endless chirping of birds. And when you see the clouds rolling in through the valley, you may never want to leave. The Host - Like a brother, he took care of us. Prakash bhai was there when our flight was hours late and we arrived post midnight. He did complain a bit, but that's his pahadi sense of humour. Never said no to any requests/demands. He offered us snacks+coffee+rum, and did not charge a single penny more, even though all of it was out of his meal plan. And he suggested us hikes/treks around Gurdum. This is where Chandan bhai comes in. The man not only cooked for us, but was also our guide on a short but thrilling hike to Dumbarkhola falls. Amenities - Basic. Clean room, delicious food. If you're a yak/pork lover, ask for it. 3 meals, 2 tea+snacks per day is offered at ₹600. Come here, rediscover yourself.

I REALLY enjoyed my stay here. The place is situated in Upper Tapovan which keeps it nice and quiet though the hustle and bustle is just a meet minutes away by foot if you’d like to step into it. The bedroom was very clean and had such a homey vibe. The food at the cafe is amazing and very reasonably priced. There is space to do yoga both indoors and outdoors, a recording studio for podcasts and music, a ceramics studio, multiple places to meditate, live classes and events throughout the week, and a place for massage/treatments to name only a few. What made this property stand out the most is the lovely staff who made me feel right at home, as a long time friend rather than just a guest. It was told to me that, “Aavya is a magical place where magical people come and do magical things,” and nothing could have rang more true. See you all soon! It’s truly a magical place.

The most comfortable and comforting home. It's not just a homestay but it feels right at home. I am unfortunately not feeling well and Vikas and his family has been cooking for me, checking in on me. The genuine kindness and care is very special to receive, when you are on the road travelling and feeling unwell. There's everything you need, everything is clean. The decor with plenty of indoor plants, creates such a soft nourishing environment. The layout of the house have pockets of sitting areas with a nice sense of privacy between each room. The shared kitchen is well equipped and there is a small convenience store selling vegetable, just a stone thrown away from the house. Being surrounded by nature is the pure beauty of this place. There's peace and tranquility from the first step of my arrival. I have already booked my return stay and looking forward to enjoying the space again. Gratitude for Vikas and his family's kindness.

Great accommodation. Simple room with exceptional views! Amesh is very friendly, helpful and communication was easy. The optional breakfast is very tasty and authentic. Beaches, restaurants, bars and shops are within walking distance. We had a good time there!

We had a lovely stay at Vipin's place for my husband's birthday, and we will definitely come back again. It's a hidden gem, very quiet and beautiful place. Vipin is an amazing host, he was helpful every step of the way. And he even went a step further to offer us a birthday cake. The walk to the beach is very nice, and the food in the restaurant was delicious. We had the best grilled fish we had so far in India, and overall experience was magical. I would definitely recommend Vipin's place over some beach rentals that are offered in the area as they might be loud and not very clean. Vipin puts so much love into his space, that it becomes truly magical for all his guests.

This was my favourite place that I stayed in Sri Lanka. It is a peaceful jungle haven away from the hustle and bustle from Ahangama while still easy enough to get into town by tuk tuk or scooter. The location is beautiful and I will miss waking up to the sounds of the jungle, sitting looking at the views of the tea farm, and watching the sunset each evening, with fruit bats and fireflies for company. If you're lucky you'll be visited by peacocks and monkeys too. Manjula and his family are wonderful, caring hosts. Manjula is always around for a chat and a joke, sharing wisdom about local plants and cuisine as well as giving tours of the property. Asha cooks a delicious breakfast each morning, with ingredients sourced from their own land. The food is nourishing and healthy and I have loved learning more about local food and customs from them both. The hosts treated me like one of their family. I can't recommend staying at Tea Heaven enough and I am already planning my next visit!

Can't thank the host enough for preparing a quick meal for us late in the evening. Thank you so much.

As I was taking my young kids to India for the first time, I was apprehensive, especially since it was the rainy season in Kerala. David made our stay easy to coordinate and was helpful in all aspects. The peaceful area and quiet surroundings are a great location to unwind and plan other trips within the country, as was our case. David and his wife made us feel at home and were always cordial, quick to answer our questions, and always available. I would return to David's place and highly recommend it to anyone. An fantastic location.

Wow ,what a find . My son and I have been travelling through India and we made our way to Nepal The Happy Lemons tree house was exactly what we needed , a sanctuary of calm and positive vibes. we had the double room tree Lodge with fantastic views. We were amazed to sit by the river and way h the crocs , elephants and hippos . The jeep safari was a great experience and the fresh water pool is the best pool ever . We had booked three nights but stayed for six as we didn't want to leave !!

With the most beautiful sunset in the area to beautiful forest trails around to a very helpful staff, Ashish's place is a perfect for anyone who wishes to stay away from noise and crowd.

A beautiful resort, in a peaceful location. The views from the room and the infinity pool are amazing. It was also very fairly priced in terms of the stay and the food. Amazing hospitality from Paul, would recommend 10/10.

It’s a beautiful place in between the nature but not far away from roadside as well. Staff is very helpful and polite. They will be helping you out with everything. Owners who fortunately we were able to meet are very friendly and made us feel at home. Food was amazing, very homely and light. Loved our stay there. Specially since due to a small health issue when we asked to change our room from free house to normal cottage it was arranged very swiftly with a small charge. Very grateful for that!! Special mention to Inji and Ramcharan. Inji is their in-house pet and is very sweet and loveable dog! Ramcharan is their caretaker who helped us all along and even took us on a short property tour which included a small lake. It’s a beautiful property worth the visit!!
