Hosted by families, not front desks.
Our story, our promise, and the families who'll welcome you during the Kumbh Mela.
Started by neighbours helping neighbours find a bed.
Kumbh Homes began when a few Nashik families started hosting visiting relatives' friends during past melas — word spread, and it grew into a network of verified host homes across the city. We still personally visit every home before it's listed.
Our goal is simple: connect you with a family, not just a room, so your stay feels like being looked after rather than just checked in.

Our promise to every guest
Verified, not just listed
Every host home is personally visited for cleanliness, safety and accuracy before it goes live.
Fair, fixed pricing
Rates are agreed upfront with host families — no surge pricing once you've confirmed a booking.
Support during your stay
A local helpline stays reachable in Hindi and English for the length of your visit.
Respect for the pilgrimage
Host homes are chosen for proximity to ghats and ease of movement for elderly guests.
Who's coordinating your stay
Replace with real names, roles and photos of your team or host coordinators.
