We made Kathmandu our base for a month. We wanted a place that we could call home and know that when we return from any excursion, we had nice place to stay. We stayed at a fabulous Airbnb called Tajaa Pha the Heritage Home with a fabulous view from the balcony. The hosts, Shailendra and Amrita, were very friendly and helpful. We looked forward to a fabulous breakfast and coffee or tea with a view every morning. Our room was very cozy with a comfortable bed. There is plenty of sites to see in this area, making it a great location for a stay in Lalitpur. It is close to a lot of interesting places and great places to eat. You can visit my images for our Airbnb to get more ideas about how fabulous it was. (My husband enjoying the view.)
At the end of our trip, Shailendra offered to take us on one of his tours. We were more than thrilled. I highly recommend if you come to his Airbnb to do one of his tours before hiring a tour guide. His tour was amazing and personal. We learned a great deal about the culture and community. We were able to see so many cultural and spiritual activities on his tour today. He took us to a temple that had a wedding and so many other interesting events. This tour makes me want to learn more about Nepal. Click on this link to see images from our day.
