Host went out of his way to give us advice on touring the area

The owners are extremely helpful. But this is Nepal. By Nepali standards, this is likely a wonderful place but by Western standards, it is very rustic.

Owners ate terrific. Hand built room with sloped wood ceiling, Windows all around, beautiful reading-dining area. Lovely plants and open outside areas. Great price. Sophisticated owners aim to please. About 10 minutes hike to old city gate. Interesting man made lake nearby.

A stay that begins with a warm, friendly welcome, tea, and great information about the area leads only to more happiness. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. We loved the little sitting area, and the hot water, and water pressure from the shower was a dream. We made use of the library, and enjoyed an evening reading books.

Exceptional value for money in a setting where the host (Ajay) takes a great deal of trouble to help his guests.You have the opportunity to learn from someone who has always lived in Bhaktapur, who is extremely knowledgeable, sympathetic, and interesting.
