Nepal Village Family Stay - Authentic Bandipur Experience

Sehr schönes Zimmer im Dorfzentrum. Milan und sein Bruder sind extrem freundlich und geben viele wertvolle Tipps. Ich habe mich dort sehr wohl gefühlt.

Bel emplacement, au calme. Rester dans un family homestay permet de savoir à qui va directement l’argent. Milan et sa famille sont très accueillants. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et préparé avec des produits de leur ferme.

La chambre était très très basique, petite, les propriétaires ne nous ont pas prévenus en arrivant qu’il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude courante. Pour plus de 20 usd la nuit en saison creuse, c’est exagéré.

- Very clear communication - They even came to pick us up when we arrived in town - The house is centrally located in the village - There’s a terrace with a stunning view of the mountains - They are extremely kind - Breakfast is delicious - We also did the momo cooking class and loved it!

- warm water was missing during our stay :-(

Absolutely loved this place, we had amazing breakfast with amazing views from the rooftop every morning, and our host was so friendly and helpful. Location was perfect too, we had a really great time. Thank you for everything

Milan, Sumon and Sima are slowly setting up a lovely family stay experience in the pictoresque Bandipur. They were very kind and put a lot of effort into the preparation of meals and spaces. They also arranged transportation to get to their home in the middle of the night. Extremely recommend this local stay!

Comfortable room and nice breakfast made from local produce. Seema and Suman were so lovely to chat to and taught me some Nepali. (Their sibling Milan works to empower the local community.) The views from the room are amazing and it's a peaceful location as vehicles aren't allowed on the main street. It would've been nice to stay longer to relax more!

Tips / heads up for others - you have to remind the bus driver to stop at Dumre Bazar! And it's not unusual to find bugs inside in Nepal. (This occurs at all times of year, apparently.)

We had a lovely stay, the host was so helpful. We did the Momo making class which was fun and interesting!

This was my second visit to the homestay and this time I got them to arrange transport from Dumre to Bandipur, which made travel much easier. The host Suman also organised a very enjoyable trip for me to visit Samastipur which is the 2nd highest suspension bridge in Nepal. Bandipur is worth at least a 3 night visit as it has much more to see and do around the area than I realised! Since my last visit the family has done a lot to ensure their homestay experience gives back to the wider community in Bandipur through the other activities and tours they offer. Impressive breakfast using local produce.

It was all great!

Very nice guesthouse run by a lovely family. We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful town. The rooms were clean, and the free breakfast was delicious! The staff very helpfully picked us up from the bus station. The view from the rooftop is stunning.

The bed was a bit hard and we didn't have any hot water. We were also expecting more of a homestay than a guesthouse, but it was a great place to stay nonetheless.

Very nice family who will explain anything you ask for. Breakfast with local products.

The beds are small and a bit hard, but, hey, this is Nepal, right!

We had the best time with all of the family, particularly warm and welcome, making the experience unique ! The view from the room was stunning and the breakfast really yummy. Would 100% recommend and go back

The staff here are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond. View from roof is amazing.

This location is an actual authentic home stay and is the perfect budget option for your visit to Bandipur. The rooms are basic with traditional Nepalese style bedding which is extremely firm, however was some of best nights sleep we have had - just don’t expect to be able to lounge on it! The room was spacious and has lots of natural light. They have a nice view of the valley below and good airflow. Breakfast was phenomenal, home cooked every single morning with pancakes, eggs and fruit. There is also the offer of extra paid activities with the family such as cheese tasting and a Momo cooking class - we participated in the later and it was so much fun! If you like getting out of your comfort zone and embracing authentic home stays, then I highly suggest staying here.

This family run homestay is newly opened, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I need not have had any concerns, as the family were excellent hosts and I learnt a lot about local culture. Fantastic views from the balcony and rooftop terrace. Great location, very near centre, but in a quiet side road. Breakfast was simple but adequate. Clean comfortable room. I also did their Cheese Tasting experience which was very interesting. I wish I could have stayed longer than one night!

The view from the room was spectacular, just like in the pictures. Very spacious, clean room. The family were great hosts and very helpful. Bathroom was on a separate floor, but that was fine, as there was also a separate toilet on the same floor as the room. I loved waking up to the sound of the goats! They offer a Tea Tasting experience which was well worth the money. Finest quality teas from Ilam and I learnt a lot about their preparation and history. Would definitely recommend staying here.
