Homestays in Thānkot

This was infact my 2nd stay at this Homestay and it was just as perfect as it was the 1st time around. As a regular visitor to Nepal, this is now my 'go-to' homestay for future visits. The homestay is hosted by Aaishish, his wife, Suzu, and their mum, Aama and they have become like my family in a very short time. I had a great room with a balcony so this was lovely. Shared bathroom but the house infact has 3 bathrooms, one for each of the 3 floors of the house. Hot water each day which was a blessing and very strong wifi so working from here is very easy. I had multiple plug points in my room so could get everything charged up very easily. They also provide filtered water freely for drinking. The family are just so lovely. They make you feel very at ease and definitely accept you as a family member. We had a few movie nights and called in Pizza a few times. They also have a brilliant large garden that you can sit in.. The garden is the pride of Aashiish and he sometimes puts on movies in the garden also in the evening which is a real treat. The garden has multiple patios and a fab banana tree! Food is plentiful ! The homestay just keep trying to feed you all the time and both Aama & Suzu are wonderful cooks. Black tea or milk tea is available all day and you can ask for any special requests. I am not a huge lover of spicy foods so the family accommodated all my 'quirks' perfectly and always had options for me. The area is about 5km outside of Thamel and the city so its costs about 500 rupees to taxi back and forth. About 200m from the house is a modern coffee shop with also free wifi. On the same road as the homestay are 2 great restaurants which offer all kinds of food, coffees and drinks. They give you a little western reminder if you need this. Kirtipur is a real local town outside of the commerciality of Thamel and you can still easily access everywhere.

Thank you for everything. I really felt at home and the food was great. I highly recommend, especially if you want to rest :)

I love everything about this place. It feels like home and the host is super lovely, you can feel how he is doing what he does with his heart. I was provided with fresh eggs, milk and vegetables from around the farms everyday. I will defenitely come back again when i need some peace and rest and nature.

Clean, friendly and lovely family... The lady cooks very tasty local cuisine for you They are always ready to serve...

It's an amazing homestay, the owner showed me the must visit temples due to my short stay.We also had family dinner with other guests, sharing what was the day of us. The breakfast was delicious and healthy . The room was organized and clean, though it's an old traditional house but you still had a spiritual vibe, can't wait for coming back soon.

We loved it here. Family was so nice and willing. Room cosy and clean. Neighborhood is quieter and more real than the city center.

Bobby is an excellent, caring and friendly host,he picked me up from the bus stop, waiting patiently as traffic held us up. A ride on the back of his motorbike to the hotel was great fun! Room spacious, double and single beds, wardrobe, chair and table, several power points, clothes stand. Directly outside the room is a wash basin, shower room and toilet next door, plus kitchen with kettle. Each guest is on a seperate floor, so very private. Sat up on the roof terrace in the sun one morning too. Central position, 2 minutes from Durbar Square, plenty of local shops including a supermarket next door to the hotel.

Everything was amazing the guy I’m charge is sooo helpful with everything. View from the roof was incredible. Bed was comfy. All round great stay

Clean, comfortable, homely, great facilities.

I absolutely loved and appreciated my stay at Mira’s and Sudarsan’s place! After travelling two months around Nepal and coming straight from Lumbini landing in such a clean heaven was a blessing! The house itself is so modern and beautiful, everything is always spotlessly clean and there is always a fantastic smell (jasmine, cleanliness and good food! best smells, no?) I originally booked for one week in the apartment, but i ended up staying two more weeks in another room and when i decided to spend some days away in the mountains, Mira held there some of my things for me so that i could travel lightly. Mira and Sudarsan are lovely people and you can always have good conversations and learn something new about the local culture, i really appreciated that! Around the table at dinner time you can meet people from all over the world. But if you are more of introvert like me, your privacy and alone time will always be highly respected. The wifi always worked great, even on the days when i had many hours of video calls for work, it never glitched. (and i have never experienced a power shortage during my stay!) Hot water is always plenty, and towels and sheets are very, very clean (and smelling good). Rooms are amazing, clean with lovely light coming in. The food is always good, healthy and fresh; i fell in love with Mira’s pumpkin soup. I am definetly going to miss it. The surrounding area is very calm, away from the hustle, and very peaceful. In a 30 min walk you can reach an area full of beautiful monasteries, and by following along the road you will then reach the monkey temple. I have enjoyed my stay so much and i will definitely come back on my next trip to Nepal. Thank you again, and so much love to all of you and lovely dog Lucky!
