My name is Shakeel Rizvi.I established Bastar Tribal Homestay in year 2006 in village Chhotekawali of Jagadalapur district (Chhattisgarh), with the objective of providing accommodation facility to the domestic and foreign tourists visiting bastar in rural areas so that they can enjoy the natural beauty and culture of the place.Get a closer look of art, dance and life style. 

Bastar is full of its nature and natural wealth.Hundreds of Waterfall,.Cave, vast forest of Saal and Teak, and many tribal group lives here.

Bastar is suffering from Naxalism for the last several dacades, due to which not only the image of Bastar has been tarnished in the world but also economic loss has been caused.By connecting tribal youth with tourism bussiness, they are not only getting economic benefits but they are also publicize their culture and heritage in the country and abroad.

Apart from tourism bussiness our aim is to make Bastar free from malnutrition for which we formed an organization named Charameti Bastar and connected the local youth, we are providing necessary facilities to the 200 malnourished children of the area with support of local doner and tourism business.

I will help you navigate local language and culture barriers, show you hidden gems and tell you stories that only a local would know!
