Vakantiewoningen met ontbijt in Madhyapur Thimi

IF YOU’RE READING THIS PLEASE COME STAY HERE! I was fortunate to meet a friend from Norway at a vipassana meditation retreat in America who had been here and told me about it. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had and a true gem of Nepal. Kamal, his wife Goma and family instantly welcomed me into their family. I had initially booked for 4 nights not sure what to expect and ended up staying for 12 and I really wanted to stay longer. This place attracts a certain kind of person and I met some beautiful new friends from America and Europe who I really bonded with over the 12 days. From the breathtaking hikes, truly authentic and homegrown meals, intimate meditation/yoga classes every morning and the most peaceful, idyllic atmosphere you could ever dream of, I’m already looking forward to coming back for a longer stay in the future. Thank you Kamal and family, you are wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The walk to Bouddha was delightful, with plenty of food options nearby. We had an incredible conversation with our host, Januka, who was very knowledgeable about the area. Her family was extremely helpful, and we truly experienced the welcoming, guest-first culture we had heard so much about. Although we didn’t get to do yoga this time, we will definitely be back here.

Babin is an extremely hospitable host. I only stayed at his place for 1 night as a transit to Pokhara but Babin picked me up from the airport and gave a good room with all amenities to have a good night rest. I also got a good breakfast in the morning and he called a cab for me to get to the airport on time.

Host is one of the nicest person and helpful that I have met in my travel stays. I recommend others to give this a try if you are travelling to Kathmandu. You will be definitely enjoying your stay here

My heart (and my belly) are so full! Thank you Aashish, Suju & Ama for allowing me to feel right at home. The vibes were right with the hosts and guests. Recommendations were great! Accommodation was amazing. I’d have happily paid 3 or 4x more and I’ll definitely be back!

Nirmala and her Family are Wonderful and Kind people. I was blessed to have stayed with them. They went above and beyond their obligation to see that I was comfortable. They treated me like a member of their family. They took me to their additional village home and their temple outside of the city one day. I enjoyed the company of their family and friends. These are quality, people, and their home is close shops and restaurants, a ten minute walk. I spent time at Tergar Osel Ling for a program, and that was reasonably close as well. The price is right, and the company couldn’t be better. I would go back again without hesitation. Enjoy your stay with them. I certainly did.

We have had an amazing stay at Kathmandu Mega Appartement, which is perfectly located with many things to do nearby. Thakur was a great and thoughtful host, making us decide to add a few more nights here after traveling around Nepal.

Mahesh is professional, kind, and very resourceful, helping in any way he can to help you accomplish whatever you’d like to in Nepal.

A great project here in Kathmandu! It felt like home to be here and it was great to interact and be surrounded by students who are advancing their practice in hospitality. Very friendly, kind, helpful. Debendra was great at communicating, and very welcoming. It was nice to meet him and learn more on the project here. If you’re looking to stay anywhere, stay somewhere where you can contribute to the lives of locals. I’m definitely coming back. I loved the vibe here. Thank you and keep on the good work.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Soham's Temperate Ecotel in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! ✨ From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with the warmest hospitality. The room was Sparkling clean, thoughtfully decorated, and offered a cozy, peaceful vibe amidst the buzz of Thamel. The bed was super comfortable, and the facilities were just perfect – especially the beautiful rooftop seating area! ☕️🌸 Location-wise, it couldn't be better: - Garden of Dreams– just a 5-minute walk! 🌺 - Durbar Square– a 15-minute walk through colorful streets and local markets! ⛩️ - Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple)– a short 10-minute taxi ride! 🐒 - Pashupatinath Temple– about 20 minutes by taxi! - Boudhanath Stupa – a scenic 25-minute drive! 🛕 - Tons of amazing cafes, restaurants, and shops Getting around was super easy – taxis and bike rentals are readily available. The staff at Soham’s place were always ready to help with anything.

This was a wonderful place and Uttam and his family were great hosts. Uttam is also a very experienced trekking guide so from the small hikes in the Dhulikhel area we did - we hope to come back and do a long trekking together with Uttam in the future. 🌸

We had an amazing time at Babu's and Belku's homestay. They welcomed us as part of their family from the first day, offering help and advice with any issues we encountered, organizing trekking (day and week-long), and taking us with them for local festivities. They had great internet, video calls worked very well. The rooms had great views across the mountains next door or the green hill sides of Kirtipur and were exceptionally clean. We spent a lot of time reading and relaxing on one of the balconies or the big sun terrace. Before our trip we were hesitant whether staying with a local family would be too intense but we are so glad we decided to do so. You are free to move in the homestay as if it was your home, engaging with the family as much or as little as you want, but trust us you will look very much forward to participating in the family life, learning how to cook as amazingly as Belku does, learning Nepali with Babu, or just talking about everyday life with them. This is our second time in Nepal and only now we feel like we have experienced it for real. The deep insights into Nepali culture, cuisine, and daily life we got in this homestay you cannot get when staying in Thamel. You can visit Kathmandu with a short taxi ride but we were always glad to escape the busy city to the relaxing green rice fields of Kirtipur. It is not overstated to say our stay was a lifetime experience. We greatly recommend to stay with Babu, Belkin, and Aayush.

I stayed one month at the apartment. It is in a great location, remote from the main roads noise and dust. The room is very clean, it is exactly like in the pictures. The internet is fast, breakfast is great, it is a really nice place to stay if you visit Kathmandu, I would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely loved this stay in the heart of Thamel - kathmandu's trendy district. The rooms were cosy and well equipped. There is a well decor'd rooftop space that it's super chill; we spent a lot of time there. Amit, the owner, was a fun conversationalist and we thank him for hanging with us. Thanks Amit for having us at our fun hotel!

Super comfortable beds, spacious rooms and most importantly, excellent hospitality! I was very comfortable at Tajaa Pha and I really appreciated how helpful my hosts were. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Kathmandu that is surrounded by local life and is not very touristy. Thank you for a wonderful stay! :)

We had such a blissful time at Milla Guesthouse - It was our first holiday together as a new family, with our 9 month old son, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The guesthouse is gorgeous, and our lovely room had everything we needed - we particularly enjoyed sitting up on the roof terrace and watching the sun set over the valley. I travel internationally a lot for work and this was the best guesthouse i have ever stayed at. My husband and I also loved chatting with Laxman dai and Sanu aunty, who were so warm and welcoming. They made us feel incredibly comfortable and took so much care playing with our son. We really appreciated it! We can't wait to come back again.
