The Welcome

A quiet haven in the heart of the capital

Designed with heart and soul, Nepali Ghar is a peaceful retreat within bustling Kathmandu—where genuine warmth meets handcrafted Nepali craftsmanship. Hand-carved woodwork, open courtyards, and a retro garden carry the defining elements of architecture dating back to the mid-19th century.

“We put our heart and soul into creating a quiet haven in the heart of the capital. In Nepal, we believe that guests are like God—I look forward to welcoming you to your home while you are in Nepal.”

Raju Shrestha—Founder & Managing Director
