How to get here

Rasmita opened a homestay to earn money and support her husband, who works for a water supply company. She is fond of working in the field and growing vegetables. She feels happy to be able to serve organically grown vegetables to her guests directly from her field. One of the joys of hosting travellers comes from interacting with them and getting to know their stories. With the help from her children, she is learning English and feels more confident in communicating with the guests.

The experience in the Nagarkot homestay was truely amazing. The Bastola family is lovely and made me feel like home. To experience how local Nepali farmers live and be part of the community is a one in a lifetime opportunity. I also had a great time hiking to the waterfall and the Buddha temple on top of the mountain. The view is stunning. I can highly recommend the homestay in the Nagarkot community.

What an incredible experience to be welcomed into somebody's home for a few days, and being able to witness their lifestyle from up close. Communication was a bit of an issue when Raja was not around (my fault for not learning some rudiments of Nepali), b
