Shekhar was not home so we didn't meet him but the lady who was there was also really friendly

The best place to stay in Bhaktapur if you're looking for a good time and to connect with other people and get to know locals of the culture and people. Shekhar is the friendliest guy you'll meet and you will make some good memories with him.

Everything is perfect at Shekar's. I went there for 3 weeks and Shekar makes you feel like you're at home. He is super friendly and will show you around and what you can't discover from a tourist point of view. The guest house enables you to share some time with others travelers and it's very charming. I highly recommend the place !

Very nice hostellike homestay in a splendid part of bhaktapur. Shekars is the nicest host who likes o spend time with his guests everyday and shows them the Real life of Nepali people in bhaktapur. This place seems to attract lot of laid back people, somehow almost all from france lol, who like to spend time together. Everybody was so nice and cool and it was the perfect ending of my Nepal trip.

Shekhar is a special person that has created a special place for travellers to come together, share and find a likeminded community which this place seems to attract. On arrival I felt immediately at peace as it feels like home and has the best energy. Shekhar is very generous with sharing his time to show guests around the hidden gems of Bhaktapur and knowledge of Nepali and Newari culture. Staying here wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was an experience of getting to really know the city and Nepali way of life. Staying here also reminded me of the important things in life - good company, community, music, spirituality, art, food, learning and exploring. It was one of the highlights of two months travelling Nepal which speaks volumes :)

I booked to stay 2 days at Shekhar's and ended up staying 6, so that tells you all you need to know. Shekhar is a wonderful host/local guide, he took us to the best places to eat and showed us around bhaktapur. It is a great place to hang out if that's what you'd like but also great place to chill if you'd prefer to have time to yourself. The whole deco of the place is so homely with little touches from previous guests like all the cool artwork. My room was big with a comfy bed, the shower was warm but most warm in the afternoon as it's solar powered (there is a gas shower available too). The rooftop is a really nice place to chill as well with nice views, and it is so close to dattraya square where I sat and people watched most mornings with a milk tea and papad roll :) if you want an authentic experience of bhaktapur I really can't recommend this place enough.

Everything was great, nothing I can complain about!

Shekhar and his place were fantastic. Though my room was on the small side it was perfect for my needs. It was clean and comfortable and I was made to feel at home. I stayed for about a week and was welcomed into Shekhar's world, including the local music scene and seeing a different, more vibrant, side to Bhaktapur than I had experienced during a previous 2 day visit. Shekhar rented me a mountain bike at a very reasonable price and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable.

Stayed at Shekhar’s shared home for a week & it did not disappoint! Such a lovely share home right in the centre of the old town so it’s so convenient to go anywhere in the city by foot. Dattraya square is on the doorstep which is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning tea. The host, Shekhar, is so knowledgeable about Bhaktapur and all things to do & see in the area. Super chill vibes in the share home & a really nice space to relax. I hope to come back someday! 😊

Shekhar is a great host who welcomes you with great hospitality and kindness. We felt very lucky to meet him as he understood well what we liked to do and see. He gave us great recommendations and brought us to some of his favourite spots. We had a really wonderful experience in Bhaktapur because of him. We 100% recommend staying at Shekhar's house. You won't find a better way to learn about Baktaphur and its cultural heritage.

I stayed 8 nights at Shekhars Guest House. Great location, friendly host, colorful shared spaces and nice room. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Will come back when i am in Bhaktapur!

Shekhar' s place is one of the most amazing places that I have been in my 3 months trip in Nepal: he is not just a host but he became a close friend!! The guesthouse feels really homie and it is really clean, with one of the complete kitchens that I have seen in Asia!! We hanged out together with all the guests: from night walks to cultural exchanges with locals, etc Absolutely recommened!!!

nothing

What an incredibly nice stay I had! It is really a shared home and I felt like home. One of my best stays in Nepal! Shekar the owner is kind, friendly and funny. He showed me the city and the beautiful local places, it was such a nice experience! The rooftop is pretty and the common room was nice to hang out with Shekhar and the other traveler. It was quite at night and during the day because of the location but you are in the middle of the city centre!

Stayed in June 2023

Second time in Nepal I choose to stay at Shekar, had the opportunity to see new rooms, in an more local Newari style attached to the main house, and got a nice cozy room. Friendliness and help of Shekar and his familly always make me fell at home. I'll always come back here when in Nepal! (P.S. Ask Shekar mother for Dhal bhat, best home made taste in all Nepal.)

Stayed in May 2023

A place that makes you stay longer! Warm welcome, great people, Shekhar’s walking tours that takes you through all the little ancient streets, great food recommendations and warm showers. A great place to meet other travelers with the communal areas but still gives you plenty of privacy.

Stayed in May 2023

Friendly host, flexible about check in - out process, gives good advices about Bhaktapur and the surrounding places. Felt like the home away from home!

Stayed in January 2023

Nice, clean rooms. Shared kitchen is great also as they aren't too common in Nepal I feel. The atmosphere with it being private rooms in a shared communal space is great, friendly and communal so you chat with other guests but you have more privacy and is generally a bit more relaxed than in a hostel. Shekhar is a great host who will show you local food and culture also! Highlights - rooftop fire night and watching the world cup match + what might be the coldest beer I've ever had!

Stayed in December 2022

just the best place ever in every way. Good vibes, clean, nice rooms, close to everything. The owner is the best, answer all you questions and helps with whatever u need. The hostel offers a walking tour with the owner which is nice so you get to see the real bhaktapur. Recommend to stay a couple of days so you get to see all what beautiful bhaktapur has to offer.

Shekhar is a super welcome and nice host, he will make you feel at home at the first sight. The place is central, quite and really friendly. There’s also a kitchen where to cook and a nice terrace to chill. Really recommended!

I spent only one night but made the most of it with the evening walk around the temples and the nice restaurant and very interesting discussion with Shekhar. He showed me around and introduced local food and drinks and dropped me at the bus station the next day and shared very interesting informations about Nepal .

Shekhar is an amazing host! I had a wonderful stay on Bhaktapur and I can fully recommend to stay at Shekhar's! When I come back to Bhaktapur, I'll definitely stay there again!

Nothing to say here, it was really nice.

Shekhar was really friendly, spoke well English, and very helpful in giving tips of what to do In Bhaktapur.

all good

Shekhar, your host, is really making an effort here to create and maintain a good place in Bhaktapur, great for travellers that want to connect but also find a place to relax. He helped me book a bus to Pokhara, also helped me with my entry ticket to Bhaktapur and picked me up with my bag with a motorbike to get to the place. I had a problem to get back from Nagarkot to Bhaktapur and he offered me to pick me up. I was able to get back by bus but it was a nice gesture to be offered help. thanks for all it was a really nice stay and time.
