Our Story
Where every journey begins with a warm welcome home
Born from a Simple Belief
In 2020, we started with a dream: to recreate the warmth of an Indian home for every traveler. What began as a small guesthouse in Jaipur has grown into a network of authentic experiences across India.
Our name, GharPadharo, means 'Welcome Home'—a promise we keep with every guest, every meal, every moment.

The Heart of Hospitality
Every GharPadharo experience is crafted around the ancient Indian principle of 'Atithi Devo Bhava'—the guest is god. Our hosts aren't just service providers; they're cultural ambassadors who share stories, recipes, and traditions passed down through generations.
From the aroma of fresh masala chai to the sound of temple bells at dawn, we create moments that linger long after checkout.
