A retired director of Uttar Pradesh Tourism is your host at this wonderful upscale homestay tucked away in a quiet residential neighbourhood near Fatahabad Rd. The five large rooms boast huge bathrooms with rain-style showers and flank pleasant common areas decorated with Krishna paintings. It feels more like a boutique hotel than a homestay. To find it, follow the alley past the Hotel Atithi.
The immensely pleasurable 2nd-floor garden is a fabulous retreat for watching the world go by, and the food – notably the homemade pickles and aloo paratha (potato-stuffed flatbread) – excels, along with the hospitality in general. Bansi is Krishna's flute, a symbol of peace and tranquillity, which is just what you'll find here.
