Anjana Agrawal: A Caring Soul with a Green Thumb

A Legacy of Hospitality: A Homestay Steeped in Tradition and Growth
Vatika Homestay is different from your typical stay; it’s a heritage that dates back to 1962 when it was a family farmhouse. In 1988, it became a cherished full-time residence. Hosting guests commenced in 2000 with two rooms now expanded to ten. Recent renovations breathe new life into older rooms, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay.
Vatika Homestay’s charm extends to their garden, where seasonal fruits and vegetables flourish, eagerly shared with guests. The property’s history also includes an old well, once the source of nourishment for their plants, a piece of the rich tapestry of Vatika Homestay.
The Philosophy of Hospitality: Home, Serenity, and Nature
At Vatika Homestay, you’ll find a welcoming and serene atmosphere. Core principles focus on offering a home away from home, combining comfort with affordability, prioritising cleanliness and safety, and encouraging a connection with nature. The family believes in transparent communication, prioritising guests’ comfort, and relies on dedicated caretakers. They cater to various guests, including spiritual travellers visiting Sarnath’s main temple and museum.
Looking ahead, the family has ambitious plans, aiming to expand the property, host events, and introduce wellness sessions. Their vision is clear: retain the essence of Vatika Homestay, a place of quiet and peaceful respite, always mindful of your comfort and experience.
When you choose Vatika Homestay, you’re not just selecting accommodation; you’re choosing a legacy and an experience that will linger long after your departure.
