About

Hello Backpackers!
We are Sara and Sudan and welcome you to Nepal. We love meeting travelers so much we turned one floor in our family home into a hostel. Come stay in a cozy bed, rest and rejuvenate before making your next move. Whether you're on an extreme budget and would like to camp on our roof, prefer a private room with an attached bathroom or coexist in the dorm and shared spaces, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. We are conveniently located in baniyatar which is away from all the tourist chaos but close enough to take a 20 min microbús or 40 min walk (4.5km) to all the major attractions such as Thamel district and monkey temple. We offer authentic Nepali cuisine at our family dinner table or you can try any of the nearby restaurants. If you are unsure of what to do- we can always recommend something to fit your budget and even help you plan your next trek.

Transportation to baniyatar might seem complicated, however it is quite easy.

Overall our stay was very nice, the place is quite far from the city centre, and the shower wasn’t so clean (in a private room nontheless). However, the owner of the hostel had come to pick us up from the airport and was amazing to us, gave recommendations and told us about nepal- amazingly friendly, and in the morning when we ate breakfast he sat and spoke to us. Also when walking to town we got an authentic feel for the place, since we walked through the local neighborhoods,and was interesting
