A good accommodation often enhances the experience of our journey. Over the years, I've realized that staying with local hosts helps in getting a better insight into the place - they can tell us about the hidden gems to explore, the best places to eat, and it's usually more pocket-friendly than staying in hotels.

No matter whether you want to stay on a houseboat, in a treehouse, a glamping pod, or a cabin - you can find it all on Airbnb! And now that the concept of 'staycation' is in vogue, you can also escape the monotony of WFH and soak in the serenity at some of these gorgeous properties across India that would cost you less than 3000 INR a day!
