In other words, you get to live the authentic rural life in a village at a homestay that will offer ethnic cuisine and a wholesome cultural experience.

This one's a cute homestay at Sawantwadi at about 70km from Panjim and about eight hours drive from Mumbai via the Mumbai-Goa highway. The nearest airport would be the Dabolim airport (approximately 80 kms), or one can even take the train up to Sawantwadi during the day.This farmhouse is perfect for solo travelers or couples looking to getaway from the city and immerse themselves in some quiet surroundings. There's lush greenery that one hardly sees in the city, alongside fruit trees and rare plants. It has one spacious bedroom with an attached verandah. For INR 4,500 per night for a single occupancy, it includes all the meals you can have a warm and a comfortable stay.

The most unique bit about the farmhouse is that it offers the ethnic cuisine of the locals. That’s right, the locally prepared dishes will be served to you so you can truly enjoy the Sawantwadi experience. If you’re looking for an authentic experience of eating with the locals or rediscover the hidden tribes of Maharashtra, then head here to take in the sounds, the sights and the culture of the village.

Pro-Tip

Sawantwadi is close to Goa and not too far from away either Pune or Mumbai. In fact, the village is close to Pinguli, a tribal art village famous for its art and crafts and home to the indigenous Thakars tribe. This tribe of artists, storytellers and puppeteers has been around for more than 400 years. You could catch the theatrical performance of Chitragathi and shadow puppetry at the Pinguli.
