Cheap hotels in Dakshīnkāli

This is nicest homestay in Nepal by far, very clean and tidy and well organised. Great homestay would definitely recommend.

After being kept awake by barking dogs over 10 sleepless nights in Kathmandu’s Thamel zone, I decided to go upmarket for 5 days in a location away from the noise and pollution. Purna’s photos make it look like a typical Indian pseudo palace hotel, but the hotel is in reality more elegant and refined. The owner’s main business is renovating historic Nepali temples in the traditional style, and the hotel showcases the woodwork the traditional Newari style, including its own small museum of carved artefacts. The carpentry throughout varies from very fine to rather rough and ready, but it feels authentic to the vernacular of ancient Nepal. The hotel is spread across several buildings at different levels surrounding garden enclosures, and includes a swimming pool. The view looks over Kathmandu city from a high vantage point. It’s on the outskirts of the built-up region of Kathmandu and Patan, and mostly free of traffic and barking dogs. The room was nicely appointed. The commodious breakfast plate included both a continental array – juice, coffee, fruit salad, porridge with honey, plus toast, butter & jam & a combined full English breakfast - omelette, sausages, baked beans, fried tomato & salad. The coffee is fine. The lunch/supper options have very reasonable prices. The service was exemplary – kind and courteous! Worth visiting: To escape the hubbub, Godawari Botanical Gardens is definitely worth a visit - feels very natural with families dancing on the lawns to Nepalese folk music and children splashing in the streams. 20min taxi drive – recommend the Pathao app to book cars or bikes at a cheaper rate. Sirupate Trout Farm Restaurant, 15mins drive. The trout is fresh straight from the farm water troughs beside the restaurant – Cost 1800NR per kg ($13 or £10). 1/2kg was big enough for 2. Don't confuse venue with 'Village Trout Farm' situated 200m before Sirupate's location.

We stayed in a lovely chalet that had everything we needed. Cozy, clean, with all the essentials (hot water, towels, tea, drinking water) — it was clear that everything was prepared for us with care. And of course, the view of the valley and mountains was breathtaking, with the city lights sparkling below at night. You can enjoy tea while sitting in comfortable chairs looking at the mountains, or go for a walk in the company of cheerful dogs. A special thank you for the wonderful food - delicious momos and kombucha, breakfast with homemade bread, jam and strong coffee - simply perfect. The place itself feels like a whole community. There is even a school here where children, including girls, are taught for free an amazing and very important mission. Kundun’s family are kind and genuine people, and you can feel it from the very first meeting. Wishing you prosperity and all the best, thank you for everything!

Thank you for everything. I really felt at home and the food was great. I highly recommend, especially if you want to rest :)

Beautiful setting, very simple cottage accommodation. The owners are really lovely and gentle people.

It had the most amazing views, the staff were so helpful and the lady who ran it was an amazing cook! Close to the town centre it was perfect x

I love everything about this place. It feels like home and the host is super lovely, you can feel how he is doing what he does with his heart. I was provided with fresh eggs, milk and vegetables from around the farms everyday. I will defenitely come back again when i need some peace and rest and nature.

The hotel feels so clean and has an air of relaxation about it. The family showed great hospitality, made delicious food, and we were even lucky to be invited to a dinner party with their friends and family. It was delightful to meet their elder son Sagar, who was also extremely hospitable, was a very interesting partner for conversation, speaks great English, and answered many of our questions and explained many things about Nepal that nobody else was able to explain to us on this trip.

Great hotel, fantastic friendly staff, helpful with absolutely everything, great rooms and perfect location in Thamel! Will be back for sure. Also, great breakfasts!
