    Very helpful hosts that provided me with a lot of recommendations! They weren’t pushy either even though I opted not to do a trek with them. Awesome homestay experience!

    Beautiful home with a beautiful family. Rabina and Rissi were so welcoming and gave me a local experience when I stayed with them during the Dashain festival. Thank you for your hospitality!

    Ramina is very nice and welcoming. She invited us in her home for tea and bisquits, when we arrived. The room and bathroom were very clean. She organised airport transfer for us during the night/early morning.
