This pioneering homestay program aims to harness tourism to empower local tea picking families of the Makainbari Tea Estate. There are 21 family houses. Houses are simple but comfortable and families speak English. The homestay programme is run by Nayan and the local community, who live within the Makaibari Tea Estate in Kurseong (District of Darjeeling). When you come to Makaibari, you will be living in a homestay in one of the villages, i.e. you will be the guest of one of the local families. You will be made to feel like one of the family and from here you will be able to experience first-hand how the villagers live, allowing you to see and empathise with the daily activities of the locals. This cross-cultural experience will not only benefit the communities at Makaibari, but it will also widen your own understanding of life within the villages of Makaibari. You will be the guest of one of the local families and will have access to a private room within their home. The villages are in close proximity to the Makaibari Tea Factory - where you can pick your own tea and see it being manufactured for you to take home! Tea tastings are also provided. You will be a part of the family and have three traditional meals a day (inclusive) provided to you by your host family. Activities on offer include tea picking, nature treks and birdwatching trips. There are seven villages within the Makaibari Tea Estate that are associated with the homestay programme: - Makaibari (proper) - Thapathali - Foolbari - Koilapani - Kodobari - Cheptey - Halder Kothi Share taxis can take you to Kurseong (3 km) and back (20 INR one-way). There are walking trails to each of the villages. The world famous Darjeeling 'Toy Train' is also available from Kurseong to Darjeeling (return), with two trains departing a day. This a significant attraction for visitors to the region. Read more: (Website hidden by Airbnb)
