“Authentic Experience”
We had an amazing time at the Nagarjun Homestay. The family is very kind and it felt like home immediately. The house is in a save and green neighborhood, away from the dusty city centre although Thamel and the Monkey Temple is still in walking distance. Together with Shreejan and Sam we visited the New Year Festival in Bhaktapur, it was really worth seeing. Shreejan showed us the whole city of Kathmandu, he explained everything so well and answered all of our questions. We even did a 10 day trip to Upper Mustang together and everything was planned perfectly. If you want to experience the true Nepal I would recommend everyone to stay here.

A very warm welcome from a whole family who are engrossed in charity work in the poor mountain villages. Home cooking straight from the garden. A view of almost 360 on the city and valley. Anxious to inform and arrange treks and tourst visits.

“It was my highlight of Nepal and I will always have a home here.”
A lovely family home in a more tranquil part of Kathmandu, with a view of the mountains. What I loved most about my stay here was that I was welcomed into the family like a daughter. Bimala makes the most amazing food, Ganesh makes sure you’ll have the best time by taking you around and showing you the most beautiful places of Nepal. I had a home far away from home here and was moved by the love and care I received from people I just met.

“This homestay is a warm and welcoming hidden gem where you can experience authentic Nepali family life”
This homestay is a truly hidden gem. It’s the perfect place if you want to experience everyday life within a Nepali family, enjoy some peace and quiet, and feel a real sense of home away from home.❤️ The room is wonderful—spacious, almost completely surrounded by windows, offering the best views over Kathmandu with sunlight streaming in all day long. You can do your laundry here, watch the sunset from the rooftop terrace, and simply relax. The family is incredibly warm and welcoming. Their 1.5-year-old daughter loves to play and brings so much joy into the house. Both parents speak excellent English, which makes it easy to have deep and interesting conversations. They are involved in meaningful charity work and also have a tourism background, so they can offer lots of helpful tips. The grandfather, in particular, is very knowledgeable and experienced if you are interested in any treks. The grandmother cooks unbelievably delicious meals—everything is vegetarian and organic, and you can truly taste the quality and love that goes into each dish. One of our highlights was joining the grandparents for 5 a.m. Zumba in the park, which was such a fun and unique experience. This is a place where you immediately feel comfortable, surrounded by genuine, kind-hearted people. We are deeply grateful for our stay here and can only recommend it wholeheartedly.❤️

“Amazing & authentic HOME stay”
A very special and unique homestay where you truly stay in the home of a warm, welcoming Nepalese family. You share breakfast, lunch, and dinner with them at one table, and because they are so open and talkative, you will learn a lot about Nepal and its culture. The freshly cooked food is amazing—organic and fully vegetarian if you prefer. The room offers a stunning view of the mountain range and Kathmandu, yet the tourist center with all major attractions is only about a 20-minute walk away. The Monkey Temple is also just a 20-minute walk. The neighborhood is calm, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The family is very active, and you’re welcome to join in their daily routines—for example, free morning dancing before sunrise in a nearby park. They also run a charity organization in which you can participate if there are ongoing events. The grandfather, a former head of Nepal’s Tourism Department, can offer excellent tips and recommendations for your travels and hikes. All in all, this place is perfect if you’re looking for more than just a standard hotel room—here, you can truly live in and experience the real Nepal.

“Authentic Nepali Stay”
A real Nepali family home, the food was amazing, lovely fruits for breakfast. The whole family is so welcoming and treat you as part of their own. Its a little out of the city centre so it’s quiet which we enjoyed but its still walking distance to the city. The family will help you with whatever you need, things to do, places to eat, trekking ect. The room has a lovely mountain view. We were very lucky to stay here and be welcomed so kindly

“Unique opportunity to understand Nepal: very warm family and fresh home made local food!”
The family is absolutely amazing, the really take care of you! For me this was the best way to start my Nepal trip, to get introduced to the Nepalese culture like this. I'm so grateful! They will help you however they can, give advice, arrange things, ... all they can do, they will do! Also, the location is amazing, close to the center but in a very calm and quiet neighbourhood!

Very nice homestay in a beautiful, quiet, non-touristic part of Kathmandu. I had a very nice room with a mountainview, very comfortable and clean too. Ganesh' and his family are one of the most compassionate people i ever met, any kind of problem you might face, they are more than willing to help, making you feel right at home. They are also very knowledgeable with any touristic activity you might like to partake in, and will also find the cheapest price too. Food is tremendously tasteful, freshly made always, and all organic. "You want more?" is the question you'll hear the most :) So if you want a good start to Nepal, this is where you go

“Authentic local experience in charity base homestay”
The home stay experience was incredible with very unique and in-depth experiences. Unlike hostel and hotels, I experienced very authentic lifestyle in Nepal. The hosting family was extremely friendly to treat me with delicious dal bhat, introducing me to their friends and even inviting me to join their celebrating event. I have the chance to get into a very local life by meeting these people. They also shared a lot of the Nepali cultures and stories which was very amazing. For the environment, the home stay is super clean. Room is big, comfortable. Food is very good. The best thing is, the family has a very kind heart that they are doing charity work, running a learning center in a rural village in full time. The home stay income is all going to the project directly. So staying in the home stay itself is already supporting the poor children. I like the concept very much and would highly recommend to stay here.

“Breathtaking homestay, absolutely recommendable.”
This homestay is offered by an exceptional warm-hearted family. You are staying in a calm, suburban area of Kathmandu. I had a wonderful time experiencing a little of the real life of Nepalese people. 11 of 10 stars! :)

“Wonderful cross cultural opportunity”
Opportunity to meet and stay with inviting Nepali family. Simple but comfortable rooms. Breakfast and dinners we ate with them were really good. They are experienced in caring for Westerners. Vegetarian meals but generous amounts. Airport pickup and drop off for reasonable price.
