IbisHouse Farm Stay

A really special retreat for birders and families. By far the nicest place we stayed on our two week holiday to Dehli, Bharatpur, Ranthambore and Jaipur. The family suite was like a home from home. We had living room with fridge, tv, kettle, huge bedroom that could sleep 4 and our own private outside area overlooking the fields and welcoming birds that visited the surrounding gardens. Our 14 year old son was content with the wifi! The homestay is run by a family or brothers who are dedicated to making your stay extra special. They are extremely accommodating and helpful. They all grew up with a dad who, as a birder and friend of Salim Ali, instilled a passion for nature and the birds of Bharatpur. They arranged transport and a guide for a visit to keoladeo on day 1 and drove us there on day 2 when we decided to hire bikes. We were treated to a visit to the local village of Malah where the brothers that run the homestay grew up and met the people that live there. We wouldn't have got these experiences otherwise. The food was great, the rooms spotless, the bed really comfy and if you are a birder then please chat to Murkesh ( the dad) who runs the shop at the end of the road leading to the homestay.

Great stop between Agar and Dehli. We had the suite - 2 good-sized rooms one with a big new fridge, the other with excellent aircon. Lovely verandah to watch the wildlife - sunbirds and bee-eaters, etc. They cooked us a great vegetarian dinner. Loved the quiet location about 3km from Keoladeo reserve - you would need a car / tuk tuk. Loved that someone thought it was an Accors hotel 🤣
