Homestays are no doubt one of the best places to stay in during your trip to Kathmandu. There are already plenty of guest houses and homestays in the capital and the number are bound to increase in the coming years with the bloom in the tourism industry in Nepal. However, the real question here could be are they good enough or at least comfortable to stay in throughout the time period. Well, the answer is, YES! More than a comfort.
To be honest with you, if you are in Kathmandu for a
business purpose then this is not for you but if you are here for holidays, fun
and adventure, homestays are definitely a try on that I would suggest. In fact,
if you are ready to experience the local culture of the capital then you can
find some of the homestays that are as local as it can get.
Some homestays have a touch of modern essence and are more
like guests houses with specific rooms and facilities. On the other hand, there
are handful of homestays in Kathmandu that are pure local. You will find these homestays
located in the most local areas of the capital surrounded the local happenings,
some also in the peaceful of areas but not away from the local surroundings. Even
better for the tourists seeking to witness the local cultures are family
homestays.
Why homestays in Kathmandu?
- Cheaper
- Comfortable
- Easier to witness the local culture, festivals and celebrations
- To experience the way of living of the local people
The best part about the local homestays in Kathmandu is that
you get to surround yourself with all the happenings that occurs in the community.
Not to mention that you get to witness the purest of local culture of Kathmandu.
On top of that, Kathmandu- the city of temples is rich in
the local culture and that brings tons of festivals and celebrations that are
of pure joy. These jatras (local festivals) are worth every bit of your time. So,
while you are staying in these local community homestays, you are always going
to witness the purest of local culture, traditions, festivals and celebrations-
These really are the best part of Kathmandu.
Where to find the best local community homestays in
Kathmandu Valley?
Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur and Kirtipur are the places
where you can find the most local community homestays. These places are the
roots of ancient Newari communities of the valley and the traditions, festivals
and celebrations in these places are as much local and fun as it can get. Not only
