Pure Vegetarian homestays in Karnataka

Whenever I start searching for homestays, I look for the homestays which serve only vegetarian food. It is not easy to get a list of such homestays. I have to literally go through reviews of every homestay (barring a few) and find out if they serve only veg or not. With that exercise, I end up having a list of such homestays in Karnataka. That prompted me to create a list and post it in my blog so that it can help anyone looking for only-veg homestays.

Of course, before you go through this list, let me call out a few disclaimers.
  • This list is not complete, it will be updated as and when I get information
  • If you know any homestay which is not listed here, kindly share it in comments section and I'll add it. Please note the comments will not get published immediately. Once you post a comment, please wait for a few days 
  • The homestays listed here "specified" or reviews suggested that they serve only veg food at the time of my research. If they have changed that policy and you find that they are no more serving only veg, let me know through comments and I'll update my list
  • I'm not endorsing any of these homestays. It should be seen only as a compiled list
  • If I've visited any of these places and I've posted my review, I'll provide the link
  • It is at the discretion of the readers to check reviews of homestays and decide
Here is the list ordered by districts (updated as on 25-Nov-2023).

Stream of joy kukke
Pragati homestay kumta

Anonymous said...

You can add- Mathuga near talaguppa

Suresh said...

@Anonymous,

I could not find Stream of Joy in Kukke. If you have a link, please provide in the comments.

I have already added Pragati.

For Mathuga, the reviews in Google Map says even though they serve only Veg, one can order non-veg from outside and eat. Hence, I'm not adding this to the list.

Thank you Suresh for your efforts 🙏. This is very helpful. Do you know which of these is ideal for workation? Any of these have decent wifi for uninterrupted mobile network atleast for remote working? Thanks

Suresh said...

@Unknown, I don't know about workation. When I was in Gundimane, the owner mentioned about a couple staying there for a few weeks during covid times and worked from there. Do note that, in some of these areas you may not get a strong Airtel or Vodafone network. BSNL or Jio may work. I would suggest to contact the owner.

Suresh said...

@a disappointed parent, I have added Stream of Joy.

Adharsh said...

You may want to include Suragi Home stay near Kumta. I had personally stayed there.

Suresh said...

Thank you @Adharsh for your contribution. I have added Suragi to the list.

Bhide homestay Sringeri

Suresh said...

@Anonymous, I checked the website of Bhide homestay. No where it is mentioned about the kind of food available. So I was not sure if only veg food is allowed or not. Hence not adding this until I find clarity on that. Thank you for your comments.

Sunayana said...

Makkithitta homestay in sakleshpur is a pure veg homestay

Anonymous said...

Please add Nirvana Kutira homestay at Chikkamagalur . I have stayed here, it’s pure veg and beautiful stay - http://www.nirvanakutira.com/

Suresh said...

@Sunayana, thanks for sharing. I've added Makkithitta.

@Anonymous, Nirvana Kutira is already added to the list. Thanks for your comments.

Anonymous said...

They have stopped preparing food at home. But have a tie up with some other vegetarian family, who provide veg only to the customers.

Anonymous said...

Please add Mango Mulch - near Thalakadu, it's excellent

Suresh said...

@Anonymous, I have added Mango Mulch. Thanks for your contribution.

Dear Sir,

I am very happy to see the compilation of the pure vegetarian homestay / resorts.

As mentioned in the beginning, I do search for the tag "PURE VEG" whenever any trip is being planned. I was quite happy to have stumbled upon this website which is a platform to get the information pertaining to "PURE VEG".

With everyone's inputs, surely, this is going to be very useful list.

Please add below two names:

https://www.anandavanacoorg.com/

https://vedantikala.com/

Thank you and best regards,

Krishna

Rakesh Nagavarapu said...

This list is super helpful. We visited this http://anandavanacoorg.com last month. It's really nice and veg place. So you can consider.

Suresh said...

@Anonymous and @Rakesh, thanks for your comments. I've added both Anandavana and Vedantikala. Thanks for your contribution.

Hi Suresh, this list was very helpful and I have a recommendation to be added to this list where I have personally stayed with my family.

https://www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/842489522792673559?guests=1&adults=1&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76&unique_share_id=8caeddaa-aed6-4644-a747-453326eea7b7

This place is in Ripponpet near arasallu, Shivamogga.

Good place for vegetarians and shekhar anna who is the cook can serve veg food (also serves without onion and garlic on prior notice). Owner name is Shyam and Chitra

Anonymous said...

Hi.. do you know if any of these are ideal for elderly as well. I’m looking for pure veg homestays that is comfortable to aged people as well. Any suggestions please share. Thank you

Suresh said...

@Anonymous, I know Amthi homestay which is good for elders. But I would suggest to check with respective homestays or read reviews if it is suitable for elders. Since I have not visited myself to many of these, I can't vouch for many.

Suresh said...

@Anonymous, I could not find details on Joisru Mane apart from the link you provided. I could not find in Google search either. Do they have exact location in Google Maps where I can see the reviews?

Anonymous said...

Suresh C: This is an excellent compilation very useful for vegetarian travel enthusiasts. Being an elder, it will really help if the contact details of Shyam and Chitra and exact locations are shared, esp Homestay near Ripponpet, near Arasallu, Shivamogga, please

Suresh said...

Dear (Anonymous) Sir/ Madam, I'm not sure I understand your question. Which homestay are you talking about? Who is Shyam and Chitra? Please elaborate. In case you are looking for a specific homestay, please click on the link provided. It will either take you to their website or google map. In either case you should be able to find their contact in that page. Hope this clarifies. Also, please note I do not manage any booking. It is only a compiled list and it is at the discretion of the reader to find out the home stay which suits best. I have no role to play in the booking and I don't have any connection with any resorts/ home stays.

if possible kindly make a list of 3-4 star resorts which serve only veg food, which will help our community, we try to avoid resorts with mix restaurants

Suresh said...

@Anonymous, I am adding the resorts to the list irrespective of the star it is associated with (one such resort added is Sai Vishram Beach resort). It is very difficult to find pure veg 4/5 stars resort. If I come across any such, I will add to the list.
