Girija Homestay

“Immersive Village Experience at Girija Homestay, Khari Village” Girija Homestay, located in Khari Village, Sehore district, near Bhopal, offers a unique cultural experience. The owner, Om Prakash Maran, invites tourists to explore village life, including organic farming with handpicked vegetables, and savor local cuisine. Khari Village offers a rich local and cultural tapestry. Visitors can enjoy sunrise views from the hilly terrain of Mata Mahal, rock shelters, and ancient paintings. Activities like trekking, birdwatching, and team-building activities, along with cultural insights through traditional crafts and storytelling, provide a memorable and immersive experience for all ages. Located just 30 km from Bhopal, the now-celebrated village of Khari has emerged as a shining example of rural tourism in Madhya Pradesh. At the heart of this transformation is Girja Homestay, the village’s first homestay, established by Mrs. Girja Maran, a pioneer in offering authentic farm-stay experiences. Surrounded by lush farmland and gently rolling hills, Girja Homestay invites guests to reconnect with nature and enjoy the peaceful rhythms of rural life. Each morning begins with a breathtaking sunrise over the hills, while the traditional aalas (wall niches) inside the mud house reflect the simplicity and beauty of vernacular architecture. Guests can take leisurely walks through the fields, witness stunning sunset views from nearby hills, and during the monsoon, trek to a hidden waterfall—making for a truly immersive experience. Mrs. Girja’s warm hospitality, combined with the serene environment, makes this homestay a perfect retreat for nature lovers, cultural explorers, and anyone looking to escape the fast pace of city life. Girja Homestay offers more than just accommodation—it’s a gateway to authentic rural living in one of Madhya Pradesh’s most inspiring villages.
