On the northern edge of the Kathmandu Valley, with views of the Himalayas including Mt. Everest, is the village of Nagarkot. Here, you'll have the absolute privilege of being taken under the wing of the Bastola family and joining in with their day-to-day life and traditions.
The eco-friendly, community-run homestay provides an immersive experience. You'll be invited into their home, where you'll have your own private room.
You’ll have the chance to delve into the rich traditions of the Chhetri and Brahmin communities and your gracious host family will (patiently!) teach you about their spiritual beliefs, their cultural crafts and their cuisine.
You can try your hand at making Tapari (leaf plates) and Batti (oil lamps) or take a calming yoga session, before joining the family in the kitchen to cook your dinner, en famille.
This stay is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity, which we wholeheartedly recommend.
Homestay - What we mean by 'Homestay' is generally a large family owned house, still occupied by at least some members of the family. Interaction with guests is encouraged and is in fact unlikely to be avoided! These places always have bags of character are usually highly charming and can provide a fascinating shortcut towards understanding local life a little better. Facilities can range from the luxurious, to pretty basic and meals are generally taken as a group and served in the local style rather than from a menu. The service is almost always fairly quirky and idiosyncratic. Great fun.
