Home Stay at Bhopal is a refreshing change from a traditional hotel stay. It offers a peek into the local culture, cuisine and living of a typical family in the region you are visiting. Located at posh Shamla Hills with the most scenic & uplifting lake view Home Stay at Bhopal delivers unmatched value for your money. Whether your stay is for a day or a month - every moment spent here inspires a thought to reflect upon. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ In a world of concrete jungles, the villa brings nature to your very own door step – a lake, a well landscaped lush green promenade & lawns with local plant life. The best of nature attracting more of it – butterflies, humming birds, pigeons & lady birds will definitely intrude on your personal space without invitation. All this is available to you here, bang in the heart of the city. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ And, with the approaching dusk & dark, the evening comes alive with a spectacular vista of cityscape merging with raw nature. It’s the bright semi circle of neon formed across the lake from the city & traffic lights on the busy VIP road. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The villa is centrally located at Shamla Hills - a stone's throw away from the majestic sprawling Upper Lake. Parked smug like a lion’s den by the lake, the bungalow offers the most awe-inspiring & refreshing views of the Upper Lake, the flourishing verdant hills across and the minarets crowning the largest mosque of Asia. The bungalow is near most tourist attractions of the city. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ We offer you a warm welcome to be the guest in our home.
