Homestays in Dhulikhel

Great host, v welcoming and cooked great meals. Serene ecoresort with an amazing view of hills. Chilled spot, rustic but everything you need, convenient for walk to monastery.

If you want to be part of an authentic village for one or two weeks, the house of Bishmu en Kalpana and their 2 big sons are excellent. Everybody knows them and they know everybody.. Children of the village like to play around their house, and also they like to invite you to their homes Or into their games. The family is willing to tell you a lot of stories, if you inquire. And bring you to wonderfull places nearby the village.

Beautiful location,quiet and tranquil.Host very accommodating and friendly

I love the egg fried rice. very nice boss and the family. The girl speaks excellent English and is studying in college. I see her textbook is in English. The view is so widely opened from the lodge. we all love the stay. and the bed sheet is very comfortable.

Panauti, a must experience quaint community located near Kathmandu (about45 minutes drive from the airport). At Shila/Ashok's Community Holiday Inn, I woke up well rested in a comfortable room, set up with in-room bathroom. The carpeted floors solved my biggest issues with travels in South Asia, which are cold feet in hotel rooms where flooring is stone. A kittchen equipped with a kettle and a gas stove with two burners, pots and utensils had plenty of good quality Nepali teas and coffee to start the morning right. You can arrange with Shila/Ashok for a full breakfast at an incredibly reasonable price. As they tell me, the Community Holiday Inn was theirs as a pilot initiative and now provides for many households who follow strict guidelines to meet western standards so to provide a worry free stay. All of them are run by the housewives, empowering local women and by attracting tourists to the region benefits many households and businesses alike. The project also boasts of a new restaurant which provides authentic Newari cuisine and ambience. Guidelines for meeting tourists needs and standards is advised by Ashok, who had 16 years experience as a Chief Experience Officer with GAdventures, a company I have personally travelled with five times and never fails to impress with their high standards and resourceful staff. Ashok has led over seventy expeditions to Everest Base Camp for GAventures and also to other locations in Nepal and Bhutan. I was lucky he was in town when I visited Panauti and learned lots about Nepal and South Asia travels. Shila ensures the Community Homestay runs like clockwork, ensuring guests are comfortable, their needs are met and the facility is clean, well stocked an equipped at all times. Her long term experience in hospitality and entrepreneurial drive has benefited her household, community and tourists alike. Attention to detail is key.

The room was spacious with an on suite bathroom. It was quiet and the owners were very welcoming. Breakfast and dinner provided for a small price. Owners told me about some historical places to visit.

Very nice host who really cares for you. He took us out to get some tea and to a really cool bar. He really tries to bring you into Nepali life:) thank you!

Was there for 5 nights but could have happily stayed for 2 weeks. Food was amazing and almost all home grown. Location also perfect (just outside the town, with a beautiful view) and lots of nearby hiking trails/tracks/villages to explore. Probably my favourite place in Nepal.

The location is perfect if you want to do some nature outside Kathmandu. The views are astonishing and the cabin lovely and cosy. The food was superb and the owners couldn't have been more warm and welcoming! 5 starts!

The guest house is such beautifully preserved traditional Nepali building, I only spend one night in it but it was a very nice experience. The staff was very welcoming and helpful!
