Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Thānkot

I stayed at Dahachok Homestay for about one week, basically a small transit workcation. For me, it had all the things I desired: - The location is serene and quiet, while still, it is just about 20 minutes until the inner city of Kathmandu. - The air was clean, and the landscape was beautiful. One might not expect rural Nepal conditions, but it had as much nature as one can get given the proximity to Kathmandu. - On two days, I undertook day hikes to the surrounding mountains. There are some fantastic views to catch on Kathmandu and the valley, so also a good location for spontaneous hiking. - There are plenty of shops around to buy all the everyday stuff, all within a 5-minute walking distance. - The terrasse on the second floor and the desk in my room offered good working conditions. The internet, especially the mobile data, was flawless, much better than I expected. So work calls and Netflix are both possible. - The room has an excellent bed (and I am usually quite picky since I quickly develop back pain when sleeping on bad mattresses), and the rooms were clean. In addition, the bathroom provided warm water all day. - The food they offer was delicious and, which was a delight, most of the things are self-grown/organic. The menu is relatively small, but, well, it is a homestay, not a Hilton. 😉 And all that for a very affordable price making this homestay a great place to stay. I'll be back! 😊

This place is really highly recommended! We spent six days with Shekhar, Kalpana and their children and they immediately made us feel like part of the family. The room was very clean - even more if you consider that you are in Nepal and the whole house was really new. As it gets cold in winter, there was a thick cozy blanket on the bad and a small plug-in-heater. Shekhar and Kalpana really made our stay so so special! We learned a lot about Nepal, its culture and cuisine and even learned how to make Mo:Mos! They were always super helpful and friendly. The whole experience really exceeded our expectations - if you want an authentic Nepali experience with the comfort of a hotel and the kindness of a homestay you should definitely come here :)

This was infact my 2nd stay at this Homestay and it was just as perfect as it was the 1st time around. As a regular visitor to Nepal, this is now my 'go-to' homestay for future visits. The homestay is hosted by Aaishish, his wife, Suzu, and their mum, Aama and they have become like my family in a very short time. I had a great room with a balcony so this was lovely. Shared bathroom but the house infact has 3 bathrooms, one for each of the 3 floors of the house. Hot water each day which was a blessing and very strong wifi so working from here is very easy. I had multiple plug points in my room so could get everything charged up very easily. They also provide filtered water freely for drinking. The family are just so lovely. They make you feel very at ease and definitely accept you as a family member. We had a few movie nights and called in Pizza a few times. They also have a brilliant large garden that you can sit in.. The garden is the pride of Aashiish and he sometimes puts on movies in the garden also in the evening which is a real treat. The garden has multiple patios and a fab banana tree! Food is plentiful ! The homestay just keep trying to feed you all the time and both Aama & Suzu are wonderful cooks. Black tea or milk tea is available all day and you can ask for any special requests. I am not a huge lover of spicy foods so the family accommodated all my 'quirks' perfectly and always had options for me. The area is about 5km outside of Thamel and the city so its costs about 500 rupees to taxi back and forth. About 200m from the house is a modern coffee shop with also free wifi. On the same road as the homestay are 2 great restaurants which offer all kinds of food, coffees and drinks. They give you a little western reminder if you need this. Kirtipur is a real local town outside of the commerciality of Thamel and you can still easily access everywhere.

Beautiful location, tucked away on the hillside in Dollu. The lodge was very quiet, surrounded by beautiful flowers, vegetable and herb garden and fruit trees. The room was clean and comfortable with a working toilet, bidet, and shower. The upstairs dining room area overlooks peaceful hillside and is a perfect place to sit around and chat with other travelers and owners. There is a strong internet access. The hosts were friendly and helpful with directions to the local hikes. Mina, the co-owner was an amazing cook. She made delicious paneer, tahli, chicken dish, Nepalese peanut sadako appetizer, and banana pancakes, to name a few. The Guru Rinpoche and Adzom Monasteries are within the walking distance along the country side road. Pharping and Asura Caves were also within the walking distance ( approximately 1 hr walk) or a taxi ride for 400rupees. Highly recommend to stay here before or after your trek to unwind, eat healthy and delicious food and chat with the owners and other travelers.
