Note

* Raahghar Supporting Property: A homestay / Small hotel chosen largely to be a part of an itinerary, and where necessarily the owners do not reside at all times.
At Raahghar, all of our itineraries are centered around our homestays, which are complemented by other supporting stays.
We do customise the itineraries based on your stay & destinations preferred by you.
Letting us know a period of travel with flexible dates helps us to organise your holiday better owing to the limitation in the room inventory at the homestays.
Please refer to our inclusions and exclusions section for more details.
Please refer to the payment terms on the earlier page along with the booking procedures.
