Our Story

A Family Home That
Welcomes the World

Sacred Trails started with a simple belief: every traveller deserves to feel genuinely welcomed โ€” not just checked in. Our family opened this boutique homestay in Budhanilkantha to share the warmth of Nepali hospitality with guests from around the world.

We have 6 private rooms and 1 fully equipped family apartment, each kept spotlessly clean with 5-star quality linens and comfortable mattresses. Every morning we prepare a fresh home-cooked breakfast, and every evening we are happy to recommend hidden gems in Kathmandu that only locals know.

We are not a chain hotel. We are a family โ€” and when you stay here, you become part of ours.

"Many guests describe their time here as feeling like family โ€” that is the greatest compliment we could ever receive."
  • 6 private rooms + 1 fully equipped family apartment
  • 5-star quality linens and comfortable mattresses in every room
  • Freshly prepared home-cooked breakfast every morning

Giri & Family

Hi, I am Giri โ€” the owner of Sacred Trails Kathmandu Homestay. My family and I opened this place because we wanted travellers to experience Kathmandu the way we know it: peaceful, beautiful, and full of warmth.

I personally make sure every guest feels completely at home. I love sharing recommendations for day trips, hidden local restaurants, meditation retreats, and the best trekking routes โ€” whether you are heading to Everest Base Camp or just want a quiet morning walk in Shivapuri Forest.

The rooms are brand new, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the rooftop view of the Kathmandu panorama is โ€” as our guests often say โ€” breathtaking.

Giri, the owner, went to great lengths to make sure I felt completely at home. He explained everything about the area and gave me wonderful suggestions for day trips. The rooms are brand new with incredibly comfortable beds. The view of Kathmandu from the rooftop is breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Lovely comfortable modern rooms with shared guest lounge and nice breakfasts. Spotlessly clean. Our homestay hosts were very friendly and speak good English. Really enjoyed our stay in a nice location โ€” easy commute to Kathmandu city but out of the bustle.

Very beautiful place right on the edge of Shivapuri National Park. Clean and cosy with a very nice host! Great outdoor terrace to look out over Kathmandu, the mountains, and the forested hillsides of the national park. Would recommend!
