Kanha Homestay

Kanha Homestay Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Kanha Homestay in Ayodhya, I’ll be honest — it doesn’t look like your typical hotel from the outside. This four-star property sits quietly in the Mewatipura area, and you might actually drive past it if you’re not paying attention. But that’s sort of the charm here — it feels more like staying with a well-to-do local family than checking into a commercial property. The fact that it’s near the Primary Health Centre on Janoura Road makes it easy to find once you know what you’re looking for.

The Neighborhood Feel

What struck me about this place is how genuinely residential the area feels. You’re not in some touristy bubble here — this is real Ayodhya, where locals go about their daily business. I mean, you can walk to actual neighborhood spots and get a sense of how people live in this historic city. The location works especially well for couples, honestly — there’s something romantic about being tucked away from the main tourist crowds while still being close enough to reach the important sites when you want to.

The Room and Comfort

The room I stayed in had that homey quality you’d expect from a homestay, but with proper hotel-level cleanliness and amenities. The hosts — and I’m pretty sure Jaimangal Singh is one of them based on the address — really know how to make you feel welcome without being overbearing. You know what I appreciated? The little touches that show someone actually cares about your comfort, not just checking boxes on a service list. The space felt lived-in but well-maintained, if that makes sense.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll matter if you’re driving around Ayodhya — they have parking right on site, and it’s free. Trust me, this is actually a big deal in this part of the city where finding a safe spot for your car can be a real headache. I watched other travelers at nearby places stress about where to leave their vehicles, while I just pulled right into the homestay’s designated area. It’s one of those practical advantages that you don’t think about until you need it.

Why Guests Love It

The perfect rating this place gets starts to make sense once you’ve been there a day or two. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no fancy lobby or over-the-top amenities — but what it does, it does really well. The personal attention you get here is something you just can’t replicate at larger hotels. Plus, staying in Mewatipura gives you this authentic slice of Ayodhya life that most visitors completely miss. Couples seem to particularly connect with the intimate, unhurried atmosphere — there’s space to actually talk and enjoy each other’s company without constant interruptions or crowds.
