My wife and I really liked the stay! The family just lovely, the food was delicious, and view beautiful. The river peaceful flows under the room. You can really feel the nature and the culture of the place when fishermen pass in front of you and families playing with the children.
Trip type: Traveled as a couple
Pros: The star of this homestay is Nizar Roomy himself, and his lovely wife Selina. He is a wonderful host. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner with them, they cooked the most amazing vegetarian food for us. We are cooks at home so the food was really important to us. The room was nice and clean, with a lovely sit out so you can watch the locals on the river. Nizar taught us about the plants in his garden, we picked some leaves for cooking with and because we were interested in cooking he very kindly did cookery classes in the afternoon for us and allowed us to watch and take pictures of his wife cooking. On the first day we arrived as he was taking out the boat with a large group of 10 others, we joined them on a 3 hour boat tour of ashtamundi lake combined with a canoe tour of munroe island; this was excellent as because we were with a large group it cots us 1500 RS each, if you were only 2 of you it would be a lot more.
Cons: There are a lot of big mozzies!
Thank you very much.Nizar Roomy
