Kerala & Karnataka are leaders in homestays. No coincidence that
both these states have a specific homestay policy framework.
Top Destinations with maximum homestays : Coorg, Kochi,
Alleppey, Chikmagalur and Wayanad. Small homes in the
backwaters of Kerala , Coffee plantations in Karnataka.

Homestays are quietly but surely becoming an
important part of the Indian hospitality industry,
especially in the budget segment and have
flourished in certain specific welcoming
geographies, but not all across the country.
