Our place has created some friendships for life!
Our place has created some friendships for life!

We don’t see our guests as short-term visitors — we see them as part of our family. Even though our place is officially registered as a hostel, it feels much more like a home.
A home where people from different countries, backgrounds and walks of life come together — united by one shared interest: Nepal.

As long as you share our philosophy and respect our basic rules, you’re warmly welcome to stay with us.

We live together under one roof — using the same facilities and sharing the same meals. Breakfast and dinner are moments where everyone comes together: to talk, exchange stories, ask questions, or plan new adventures through Nepal. This exchange means a lot to us. The feeling of community and togetherness is what makes our home special — and what past guests always remember most.


By staying with us, you become part of our family

You will feel home with us very quickly.

Many of our guests form friendships that last far beyond their stay. From the very first day, you’ll feel genuine warmth. During your first days in Nepal, our staff and other guests will help you settle in. Experienced travellers often help newcomers — that’s how our community grows.

Our home is like a small family where people care for one another. Of course, there will be days when you might feel tired, homesick, or overwhelmed — that’s part of life in a new culture. That’s why we want you to have a circle of people around you who support and encourage you whenever needed. Your family in Nepal.

You are not a guest. You are part of our family!
You’re not a guest. You’re part of our family!

Very soon you’ll find yourself becoming part of this small family — enjoying the togetherness and solidarity of our place. We want you to understand that our home is not a hotel where everything is done for you. It’s a place to belong — a home that grows through everyone who stays here.

Being part of this family also comes with small responsibilities. Please have a look at What We Expect From Our Guests — to make sure everyone here feels comfortable and at home.

And as soon as you’ve found your rhythm, you’ll naturally start helping new arrivals to settle in – continuing the circle of our little community in Kathmandu. ☀️
