Frequently asked
Guest house or hotel — which is better?
A guest house is smaller, often family-run and friendlier, usually cheaper, with home-style food; a hotel offers more amenities and consistent service. Choose by budget and the experience you want.
Are guest houses good for families?
Yes — many have larger or connecting rooms and home-cooked meals, and the family hosts can help with local tips, boats and a Pandit Ji for a puja.
Can I stay for a month?
Many guest houses welcome long stays and offer a discounted weekly or monthly rate. Ask directly and confirm what the rate includes.
