Nagarjun Eco Homestay is a peaceful home away from home with epic views of Kathmandu Valley. Visitors exploring Nepal will feel welcome in our quiet hillside getaway, free to explore the surrounding area at their leisure while also having the opportunity to visit local attractions.
Our home offers a shared kitchen and dining area on the ground floor, a TV lounge on the second floor and with a rooftop that offers unique views of Kathmandu. Free WiFi is also available.
The staff and the owner on-site are eager to help guests with any needs they may have during their stay, and can provide information on local culture and the surrounding area.
The neighborhood is in a very peaceful location with beautiful views of Monkey temple, Nagarjun forest and Kathmandu city. Our location is walking distance to several areas of Kathmandu without the impact of traffic and pollution found in the central area. We are close to Thamel (main tourist hub of Nepal), so there is easy access to restaurants and shopping. Balaju park is only a 10 minute walking distance from the homestay. The public micro bus park is 5 minutes walking distance where taxis are also available. Local buses run regularly throughout the day. Parking space is available in front of the homestay.
Guests may choose to have organic meals cooked by their host, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cooking classes can also be provided free of cost! The owner Jenny also has a trekking and travel company that can provide information as well as trekking packages and other activities based on guest interests. Jenny has additional experience working for national and international non-profit organizations, and depending on guest skills and interests can help find placement for volunteering and internship opportunities.
We want our guests to feel like a part of our family when they visit Nagarjun Eco Homestay. We look forward to your visit - Namaste!
