Homestays
A room in a village, not a hotel.
Every homestay we stay in is a host’s actual home. Named family, spotless linen, and salt tea at any hour.
Homestays are currently bookable only as part of a Wandering Yaks journey— not as standalone nights. Standalone homestay booking lands in V2, when we’ve worked with our hosts on standing prices and off-season occupancy.
