Just off a street lined with arts and crafts shops, our family home is nestled in the courtyard with an old Shiva temple and two contemporary art galleries and exhibition spaces, only a two-minute walk from Patan Durbar – one of the most beautiful squares in Asia, dotted with restaurants and cafés from whose rooftop terraces you can take in the magnificent view of the Mountains, Patan Valley and k
athmandu Valley. The cosy, parqueted rooms with big beds, a small kitched with attached bathroom provide a homely base from which to explore the city. In the meantime, you will enjoy the hospitality and warmth of the Joshi family, taste the traditional, homemade Newari dishes, or climb up to the rooftop terrace and let your eyes feast on the intricate network of the rooftops and pagodas of Patan, or maybe even catch a glimpse of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks on a clear, sunny day.
