Namaste from our family to yours!!! Our property is a three and a half story labor of love, where your cozy retreat awaits on the third floor designed with warm minimalism, comfort and your convenience in mind. Room features a plush bed, bedside charging points, an electric kettle, complimentary tea/coffee, bottled water, a refrigerator and thoughtful amenities to make your stay effortless. But this home is more than just bricks and decor. After the earthquake shattered our house, life tested us deeply. I was set to leave for Japan in search of work, but when my parents needed me to rebuild, I stayed. My mother, who dedicated her days working at a school for differently able children’s and my father, with his unwavering resilience, poured their dreams into these walls. Together, we worked tirelessly I took shifts as a waiter in Thamel, they sacrificed endlessly until this home rose again, stronger. That’s why this homestay carries my mother’s name, Shova a tribute to her strength and the family spirit that built it. Today, I blend my decade of hospitality experience and my passion for Nepal into every detail, hoping to offer travelers more than a stay a connection, a story and a piece of our hearts. We invite you to be part of this journey. Here, you’ll find not just comfort, but the soul of a family who believes in new beginnings. With warmth and gratitude, Sanjay Maharjan Shova’s Homestay
