Earth house holiday rentals in South Asia

An amazing escape from your crowded metro life . A place where you can actually hear the birds chirp. Very peaceful and serene. The star gazing was amazing. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures. Riddhi is an amazing person and a very responsive host. Makes you feel right at home. They had 4 dogs and kunwar singh was the best :)❤️ Shagun and Riddhi have worked very hard to make this place unique and lovely. It felt like a peaceful adventure trip.

We enjoyed a refreshing one-day stay at COB5 resort. The natural surroundings were truly a highlight, offering a peaceful and green environment to unwind. We particularly loved the unique clay home we stayed in, which had a lovely cool and comfortable feel. The food served was a definite plus – both dinner and breakfast were very delicious and satisfying. While our stay was largely positive, a couple of areas could see improvement. The bathroom facilities could be enhanced, particularly regarding hot water availability and shower options. Additionally, the location within the village, accessed via narrow roads, made it a bit challenging to find using online maps. I recommend calling the resort for clear directions bfore arriving. Overall, COB5 offers amazing getaway with excellent food and a unique accommodation experience. With a few upgrades. We would certainly consider visiting again.

It was a pleasent stay at Viinod and Beena's place. Me and my wife liked it a lot. The host were very helpful. The walk to the river was very nice and we spent quite some time there at the river till sunset, which felt peaceful and beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and my daughters were excited to have their own little house! It was well set up with a restaurant across the road for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and also packed breakfast for the safari if needed. The hosts were very friendly and showed us lots of birds and animals in the lush garden. They also shared badminton nets and cricket bats for our daughters to play and put up big hammocks to relax in. They were able to arrange everything such as the safari tour, a trip to the local Buddhist temple and to see a colony of fruit bats, and a car to our next destination. I’d recommend going for the 6 hour safari as you can go a bit further into the park and not be around as many jeeps. We saw elephants, mongoose, monitor lizards, the giant Sri Lankan squirrel, crocodiles, wallowing buffalo and 20+ kinds of birds. Recommended as a place to stay near the safari park entrance.

The place was as described. Interiors had interesting nooks and was quite comfortable. Approach to the place has a slight complication with the big car to small car switch, but enough advice and support was provided to overcome it. Neighbourhood’s alright, just make sure you are good to walk up inclines and flights of stairs if you are exploring it on foot (we had elderly folks with us, they struggled a fair bit). Of course, what made the place stand out was Kaushal and his Team of Kapil and Raju. Very accommodating and friendly, and quick to help resolve a query or requirement. Even the people they recommend to you (cab drivers and such) were extremely kind and helpful, which just goes to show that they do care about your experience beyond their villa. Overall a very satisfying stay, and would be happy to recommend Forktail to others.

My friends and I recently spent a night at Kamp Kamouflage Kanha and had a wonderful experience. The farm stay is like a green living jungle, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere that immediately helped us relax. The accommodation is extremely comfortable, with the right balance of rustic charm and modern convenience. After a long day, we enjoyed chatting late into the night, soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings. The hospitality of the staff was truly top-notch—everyone was warm, and attentive, and made sure all our needs were met with a smile. In the morning, we were treated to a delightful breakfast, which perfectly complemented our relaxing stay. The combination of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a hearty meal was delightful.  We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you're looking for a peaceful escape in nature with great hospitality, Kamp Kamouflage Kanha is a wonderful getaway!

Skandavan is a jewel for who seeks tranquility , peace and beauty . Much loving attention to details and in perfect harmony with the well kept garden . A place to easy get into a meditative mood . And yet by bicycle , motorbike or TukTuk it’s very easy to explore all what Auroville has to offer . The garden is spacious enough to have privacy also when other guests are there . The shared kitchen is another plus . The staff is very friendly and discreet and keeping the place well clean . Rekha and Michael are great hosts . I’ve been very happy there and I am looking forward to visiting again .

I was here with my family. Each of us felt really good spending time at the place and listening to interesting stories Chotaram had to say. The village safari was very authentic and we all enjoyed it so well. We would definitely come back and agin recommend this place to our friends. Thank you

A very special stay in a peaceful farm with a wonderful, local host family. We loved the intentionality of the spaces, the communication w the host (local family can use Google translate), and how well they accommodated our food allergies and requests. For those w different abilities - Lots of stairs and very bumpy road coming in! Not a place to do remote work w limited service/wifi but a great place for retreating! We would definitely come back and recommend for those looking for a peaceful stay.

Great place to stay with beautiful and peaceful surroundings.

Positives 1. The property is very well maintained, serene and peaceful, a perfect weekend getaway 2. I loved the individual choices of a few items in the room, specially the first floor of Villa 1 3. Accessibility is brilliant with ample car parking facility and very spacious 4. My family and my pet enjoyed thoroughly walking on the grass lawn 5. Generator and power back up was quite nice Possible things to improve 1. While I understand the rationale of employing natives it is pertinent they understand Bengali quite clearly. 2. There was no TV in either of the rooms in Villa 1 3. Flexibility ( may be due to seasonality ) was quite low on the food menu 4. An Intercom facility would be great to have considering the charges.

The place is awesome exactly as shown in the pics. It’s not the place which made our stay amazing, it was the care taker Sivadas who made it memorable. Shivadas is one awesome proactive care taker available 24/7 for any help. Shivadas and wife Lata have excellent culinary skills you don’t have to find any restaurant for any food. From mutton to dosa everything was finger lickingly tasty. This will be our go to place in Ooty. Thank you Nisha and team!!

Well how do I start this off... we had the greatest ever experience here with a top host named Rukmal. The hospitality provided was out of this world along with the food provided. If you are looking for a safari adventure like we was you are in great hands with Rukmal. He certainly knew his stuff well living in the wildlife for many years he filled us with great knowledge and inspiration. I’d highly recommend hiring out his clay hut for the night and perusing on to the beautiful safari only a few minutes away. We’d like to finish off by saying thank you so much and we’d love to book a camping stay out with you in the near future. Massive big ups to your fine self and let’s keep in touch! Ps - blue whale photos to follow up on the morning ;) thanks again!

The Khangkar house by Tenzin is an absolute delight! The host was responsive, helpful and very accommodating of our group which included two dogs. Very easy to find. The spaces are wonderfully designed and relaxing.. Perfect for a getaway. It was almost like staying in a bubble. Our dogs had the best time as well. The kitchen staff produced great meals and service during our stay. The pool was clean and well maintained. For anything else one may need, there are many options in close proximity to the home. All in all, a great experience at a stunning property that I would highly recommend and return to in the future!

Sangay and Karma are great hosts. They take only one group at a time so we (me nd my partner) had the place to ourselves. You can requests the hosts for meal (for a very nominal price) incase you cant head out. The place looks exactly like in pictures and you will have a cozy feeling. The studio has a good vibe. Books to read and art of other students can be seen and enjoyed. Pets on the property are a great bonus.

Shantanu was an amazing host. This was not just a place of stay but a complete experience. Me and my friends had a beautiful full moon night trek upto to the Earth house the night we arrived thought the host suggested us to arrive a bit early since the hike is a bit steep. He and others were kind enough to help us with the luggage. We had a wonderful gourmet dinner under the moonlight continued with bonfire. The rooms were neatly spaced out with comfortable beds, the walls had beautiful handpainting while keeping the heritage alive. A true relaxing into the woods experience as its away from all the hustle and bustle of the town, a honk free stay :) The next morning I woke up to witness one of the beautiful sunrises with a breathtaking mountain view. A complementary session of Yoga with volunteer Vinodh followed by yummy Indian breakfast. If you are an animal lover like me then your stay will be elevated with the company of five beautiful paws :) who were also very happy to be part of the breathing exercise during the session. Our one regret was that we booked this place only for one night because of which we couldn't do the nearby trek some guided by the host himself. But we did get the chance to enjoy this scenic view while trekking 2kms back to our car in the day light... the only thing I would suggest is to pack light. If you ever are in Nainital I highly recommend for you to come and experience this place as this was one of mine and my friends most cherished stay in this trip.

I had a truly wonderful stay! The place was clean, peaceful, and very well-maintained. Padmavathi was an incredibly kind and thoughtful host, always making sure we were comfortable. The home-cooked meals were a highlight—delicious, organic, and made with so much care, especially the lunch with fresh terrace-grown vegetables. I felt completely at home here. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and nourishing stay!

Better than any 4/5 star hotel. Would recommend it to all my family and friends. A literal gem in the Old Manali.

we loved our stay at Angtak and Catherine’s place! it lived up to all our hopes for the holiday. their home and studio is beautiful and we felt very welcome by our hosts. our room was super comfortable and clean, and was also private when we wanted to be. we were able to do a lot in and around Leh thanks to their great recommendations, which i don’t think we’d have found out about otherwise. the food was delicious, fresh and homemade, i can’t wait to try Angtak’s skyu recipe at home! their lunch and taxi recommendations were extremely helpful. we got to meet their lovely friends, and felt right at home. the location is close enough to the main city but not in the middle of all the touristy crowds so was perfect for us. also walking distance from a local market, which was handy.

Gabbar Singh takes care of the place. Well maintained and cozy room with a plunge pool. Amazing horses and an amazing dog called Minnie. They had provided local recommendations as well which was cherry on the top. In all this find in Hospet is one of its kind and please don't look twice and go for it guys!

Let me say, I have stayed in beautiful glass houses and domes during my road trip. But this place was the best. it's not much, just a quint, quite, peaceful village with mud houses, lower doors, open fields, dark after 5pm but it felt right at home. The night sky filled with 1000s and 1000s of stars, oh the view. This place, is a must to visit. The host, owner or the place, both bhaiya and didi were so nice. Had 100s of stories to tell from his expeditions. Didi made us awsum food and fed us with so much love. it was all worth it. Tanzi stay, a must if you ever visit Kaza, Langza

It is by far one of the best stays I've stayed at. Truly unique away from the touristy spots yet just an hour's drive to shimla. It has all the amenities you'll need for a short or long stay. Entire team as well as host are very friendly and responsive so everything will be taken care of. 10/10. Definitely worth every penny.

schöne Unterkunft mit einem riesigen Garten und eigenem Balkon. Zimmer hatte auch eine Klimaanlage. Die Lage war etwas außerhalb, Supermarkt und Restaurants waren aber zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir haben auch Empfehlungen bekommen was wir für Sehenswürdigkeiten anschauen könnten. Es hätte sogar die Möglichkeit bestanden, dass direkt Touren gebucht werden mit Abholung in der Unterkunft, auch können direkt Tuktuks organisiert werden, jedoch sind diese teurer als wenn man selber zur Straße vor geht. Wegen einer Doppelbuchung müssten wir unser Zimmer 1 Tag früher verlassen, jedoch wurde sich um eine Alternative im Ort gekümmert und wir haben das Frühstück gratis bekommen. Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt dort.

ekant is very responsive host.just cl and msg away.helped us in finding local taxi,food delivery,etc. most sweet gesture during our stay was ekant grandmother who offered us drink,gv tour of thr farm along with ekant and also last but not liest apple from their farm.its peaceful place.bit far if don't hv own car but worth spending time.
