About EJA

Connecting travelers with authentic local experiences through carefully curated homestays, experiences, and retreats across India.

Our Story

EJA was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that the best travel experiences happen when you connect with local communities and immerse yourself in authentic culture. We believe that every traveler deserves to experience the heart and soul of India, not just its tourist attractions.

Founded in 2023, we started with a vision to bridge the gap between travelers seeking authentic experiences and local hosts eager to share their culture, traditions, and hospitality. What began as a small collection of homestays has grown into a vibrant community of hosts and travelers across India.

Today, we're proud to offer not just homestays, but a complete ecosystem of local experiences, wellness retreats, and cultural immersions that allow travelers to discover the real India.
