About alt Homes
Who we are
We are essentially just a group of curious travelers turned hosts who started enjoying hosting to the extent that we decided to make a living out of it. Our love for travel, keen eye for detail and excitement of meeting new people and collecting more stories gave birth to Alt Homes. At every turn, we’ve tried to adopt an approach that isn’t just profit-driven but also inclined towards being a contributor to a larger tourism ecosystem that respects all its stakeholders including nature, communities and cultures. We literally dream to build our way forward with these ethos in mind because these are precisely the accommodations that we would like to stay at as travelers. One could say that we’re trying to make a full circle in a selfish way but as long as the earth and local communities gain something from it, we’re happy to take the blame.

the experience was a delight! The serenity of the location amidst the tea gardens, the warm welcome of the caretaker Hameed, the property and the abundance of space for our pets (Beagle and Shih Tzu) to play around – all inclusive; a holiday we will vividly remember! They were constantly in touch, Hameed was ever helpful to get things comfortable for us 🙂 Appreciate it all! – Hasta La Vista – until we see again!

We finalised this homestay for our trip to Ooty and I can say that our choice was just perfect. The hosts (Aditi and Karan) were prompt to reply to our queries. Philo, the caretaker was so friendly and open to help anytime. He ensured that our stay was pleasant and constantly followed up to check if we had any concerns. This was definitely a new experience. The maid Shanthi Amma prepared some amazing breakfast for us. We just felt that we had visited our distant family when we were here. Big shout-out to Philo, Stephen, Prakash, and Shanthi Amma. You guys Rock! My son has already told me that our stay for Aby more Ooty trips will be Bagaab homestay!! Thank you! THANK YOU!! About the place, all I can say is “Mesmerizing”. You got to be there to experience it.

Travelled over weekend (group of 5). Around 10 kms from Ooty town. Perfect place to unwind and relax. The property is surrounded by tea garden till you can see on 3 sides. Rooms are clean and spacious enough to accommodate 6 people. One of the most functional and equipped kitchen I have seen in recent years in any guest house. Mr Philo is a warm welcoming host, always there to help. Definitely recommend anyone planning to visit to Ooty or nearby.

I had an amazing stay at this place. Beautiful view overlooking the tea gardens. Near and tidy place. Philo the caretaker deserves special recognition for his outstanding hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that both my furry companion and I felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. His attentiveness and friendly demeanour truly made a difference. Also, The food was freshly prepared and yum. I suggest you to try Masala Podi Dosa with Sambhar And chutney.

we had a pleasant time staying at Bagaan. The backwards is private, secluded, and has a campfire pit. The place was clean and well equipped. We got to see Indian Gaur right beside the property. It’s located very close to Dodabetta. The weather was perfect during our stay. Would definitely come back.
