Experience Timeless Tranquility at Our 19th-Century Heritage Homestay tucked away in the vibrant heart of the city, our lovingly renovated 19th-century heritage home invites you to step into a world where tradition meets comfort. Once a regal family residence, this beautifully preserved property now opens its doors as a homestay—offering a unique blend of old-world charm and modern coziness. As a tea sommelier with Isha Life, I’ve infused every corner of this home with the spirit of aesthetic living. Guests are welcome to indulge in serene tea-tasting experiences, curated with handpicked blends and stories steeped in culture. Each room has been thoughtfully renovated to retain the soul of its historic roots while providing all the comforts of a contemporary stay. From intricately carved wooden accents to cozy nooks designed for relaxation, our homestay is more than just a place to rest—it's a place to reconnect. Come stay with us—slow down, sip some tea, and soak in the spirit of a bygone era.
My family has the legacy since 1935 in tea trading, we offer tea tasting in our pantry. I enjoy sharing cultural experiences and learning about different perspectives and meeting people. I promote Yoga as a lifestyle and have a small shoppe containing eco-friendly products of Isha Life Offerings.
