    Staying at Shivapuri Heights Cottage in Kathmandu was pretty cool. It’s tucked away near Shivapuri National Park, so it's super peaceful but still not too far from the city. The staff are super friendly and make you feel at home right from the start. The rooms are nice and cozy, with some local decor that gives them a more personal touch. The view is definitely the best part. Waking up to see the Kathmandu Valley and the mountains in the distance is something else. They've got this nice garden where you can chill with your morning coffee or just take a walk and relax. The food there was great, too. It’s a mix of local dishes and some international stuff, all made with fresh ingredients. Eating there feels like having a meal with family, but with an awesome view. If you’re into hiking or just want to explore the area, the cottage is in a great spot. The staff can point you in the right direction for some cool walks in the national park. Overall, Shivapuri Heights Cottage is a great place if you’re looking for a laid-back spot with nice views and good vibes. It’s like staying at a friend’s place who happens to have an amazing house in the mountains.

    Magical place to stay with incredible surroundings and views. Can walk from the property to various hike trails and the surrounding monasteries and sights. The whole property is lovely, homely and welcoming. The food for breakfast and dinner is delicious. Everything is well thought out and everyone is super helpful and accommodating. The place is made even more special by the wonderful manager, Ramita, who is incredible. Would highly recommend for a place to relax, smile and make excellent memories.

    Wonderful stay in Safari tents at Shivapuri Heights. Staff & owners esp. Ramita could not have been nicer and very welcoming. Great place to relax abd look over the city, explore Budhanilkantha. Food was great every day! Would happily come back and recommend to friends.

    Fantastic property to relax and enjoy the view of Kathmandu. We made use of the massage and hot tub services available. Both were great. Ramit was the star of the property. She helped us with any requests and was so kind and attentive. She made the property great!

    I had a delightful stay at Shivapuri Heritage Cottage. The place is serene and uplifting, with every corner exuding peace and joy. The organic food, crafted with love, is delicious! Kudos to Ramita, the cottage manager, and her exceptional team. I was charmed by the thoughtful details - from the curated books and design to Cookie, the adorable dog, and again- the magical surroundings. The breathtaking view, nearby nature trails, and proximity to the national park add to the allure. I stayed in one of the cozy and lovely Jasmine Deluxe rooms with its own private balcony. Indulged in a blissful massage and relaxed in the hot tub also with an epic view. Now back in the bustling city of Lalitpur, Kathmandu, I'm grateful to Shivapuri Heritage Cottage for the rejuvenation. It's a haven nestled in nature, yet so near the city. I can't recommend it enough.

    Nothing really. If you can overlook the fact that you need to climb a few stairs to reach this place, then Shivapuri Heights Cottage is absolutely worth it!

    I and my wife were in Nepal for around 8 days where we stayed at 3 different hotels/resorts and Shivapuri Heights Cottage aced it all! This place is sublime. Our cottage had a great view with a balcony overlooking the Kathmandu valley. Also at an altitude of 6000 feet, the place sports a hut tub which I believe you wont find any where else in Nepal. It's a great place to feel close to heaven. Also, a fabulous place to recharge from the daily hustle bustle of the city life. It was also great meeting the owner Steve who got everything right in the details of this place. From books to boardgames to 3 friendly dogs, Shivapuri Heights Cottage has it all. Also, a special mention to Ramita, she is the cottage manager and the cook. The food she makes is absolutely heavenly and delicious.

    Stayed in the deluxe tent and it was lovely- very comfortable! This is a lovely location, fantastic scenery and loved watching the birds from the terrace. The hot tub was a great experience. Staff were lovely and food was delicious. Also really enjoyed my massage. Luxury stay for a very reasonable price.

    Difficult to reach with smaller cars. Roads are too steep and narrow. Taxis always ask for more because their car suffers to drive up the hill.

    Location. ambience, food, the owners(Steve and family) are very thoughtful and amazing people. Nature lovers.

    I didn't like that I had to leave!

    Shivapuri is a magical place. From the staff, to the location and view - its breathtaking. The beds are huge and comfortable. I came with a group of friends and stayed in the Poinsetta cottage and Jasmine cottage. Both were exceptional.
