Property is very good neat and clean, colourful you can feel like village, owner Mr. Punjabhai and family is taking care of everything. It is in hodka village just 5 min away from main road. White desert and tent city is 20 km away from this property. Rooms are not very spacious but sufficient for stay with attached bathroom. Hot water is not available in room but they will provide you in the morning. There is lot of improvement needed for food, although food is tasty and authentic gujarati food but no choice at all. First of all in breakfast they are not at all providing any variety, we stayed for 2 nights and same breakfast they have repeated on next day. They are giving just poha which was not at all good they just prepared and kept outside . They should improve breakfast quality atleast when they have all rooms packed they can give more options like bread butter, paratha, thepla.. Also they should prepare maggie.tea also average not so good. They can keep some chips packets, biscuits on their counter for sell. Coming to lunch and dinner, the food is good but not great. Kadhi was horrible not at all able to eat. Sabji also same and repeated. No sweet in lunch or dinner. Just sabji roti dal rice. Bajri rotla was good and authentic. Most delicious was garlic chatani. Also there should be bonfire and Gujarati cultural dance or activities at night especially on weekends and full moon nights. No doubt punjabhai was very polite and helpful but there is lot of improvement needed. Over all...

They also have a small general Store right in front of the stay which is run by one of the three brothers who stay at the homestay. The village is full of such homestays with beautiful hand-painted walls and a rich cultural experience for those who are unaware about that side of the world. The mud huts you get to stay in are cool during the day when it gets hot outside, and warm during the nights when it's cold outside. We didn't even need the fan during our stay. You might wanna carry your own toiletries, and a bedsheet because the bedsheet they provide you with has hand embroidered patterns on it which is good to look at, but not that great to sleep on. Otherwise a wholesome homestay and super cute hosts who will keep you entertained with little tidbits of...
Read moreA complete Village life experience with a Home stay at Hodco. Peaceful natural atmosphere inside a huge personal residence. Stay at Bhunga is a colour ful experience. Eating home made traditional village food gives you a touch.
Owners have Cows for milk, butter and butter milk, they serve to you. Folk music at night from a village team with traditional music instruments will remain unforgotten. Sleeping out in cots under the open sky full of stars. Stargazing can be done at this place resting outdoor.
Kutch print and designed Handicrafts, clothes, bedsheets, covers, Shawls, Stalls etc are in house making at this family. You can enjoy shopping from these artisans. Best part is their traditional nature caring for your tea to your late night deep sleep.
Yes, there are no Televisions, no Air-conditioners and no luxuries. But, yes all natural village life is available, if you are ready to enjoy it. Lights can go and there can be complete blackout, but it will place you with yourself during those minutes.
Enjoy your stay at Runn Bhumi. Enjoy Kutch....
