Namaste and welcome to Shangrila Stay! My name is Santosh Kumar and I’m truly happy to host you in the sacred city of Bodhgaya. Hosting guests from around the world is more than just a job for me—it's a way to share the peace, culture, and warmth of our home and community. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and hearing their stories. Whether you're visiting for meditation, spiritual exploration, or just a relaxing getaway, I'm here to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. I’m always happy to offer local tips, recommend hidden gems, or just share a cup of chai in the courtyard. When I’m not hosting, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and spending time in nature. I also have a deep appreciation for Buddhist philosophy and the peaceful energy that makes Bodhgaya so special. At Shangrila Stay, we welcome you not just as a guest—but as a part of our extended family. Looking forward to hosting you! Warm Regards Santosh kumar
