Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Thāpāgāon

Positive: The place is available by taxi from Kathmandu. Nice mointain view from terrace. Owner and staff were ready to help. The owner even lended his scooter for us. Neutral: Rooms are of decent quality, as expected from average country guesthouse around the world. They are not heated, the same as everywhere in the neiborhood, but hot shower is available. A bunch of routes in walking distance around: village+memorial park, temples, waterfall. Expect ~20 kph speed down the NH18 unpaved road, probably 4x4 only after rain. They served us huge plates of Dāl bhāt for each lunch and a dinner, for that charged additional 3 USD per serving per person at departure.

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.

Everything was nice starting from the owners who were very hospitable and friendly. The room was awesome for the price paidand the dinner was just awesome, one of the best thakali set that i ever had. The breakfast was also very good and fulfilling. All in all it was a very wonderful experience felt like home.
