Travel and Tourism

If you want an authentic and enjoyable Nepalese experience, then I would totally recommend spending some time at Krishna House. AJ and his family warmly welcomed us into his home in the beautiful medieval town of Bhaktapur. Our room was peaceful, private and well equipped with our own ensuite toilet and shower. We had a fun, interesting and varied itinerary over the 5 days, ranging from beautiful Buddhist and Hindu temples to remote villages and nature walks. I couldn’t have asked for a more informative or good natured guide than AJ; he has a great skill for sharing information in an interesting and enjoyable way. AJ has immeasurably increased my understanding & appreciation of Nepal, both past & present, in a way that only a local can.Equally enjoyable was the amazing food that Sunita prepared everyday. The quality and taste of the dishes made using authentic family recipes & her genuine hospitality was unforgettable.AJ has excellent English and is honest, open and very professional. It was very easy to organise our stay, and AJ was kind enough to organise an additional trip to Chitwan for us as well. This is one travel experience I will fondly remember for a very long time! A friend and I recently were in Nepal and had arranged to homestay with a local family in Bhaktapur called Krishna House. It was the highlight of our trip and I learnt more about tradiitional Nepali life, cuisine and culture in the 5 days with them than the entire remainder of my trip. Ajaya the tour guide and homestay manager / owner was brilliant. Offering a range of activities that we could choose from during the days we were staying with him. He was flexible - allowing guests to choose from activities to suit their interests! We undertook Cultural and historical tours of temples and stupas in towns throughout the Kathmandu Valley and additional nature hikes also. Ajaya has extensive knowledge of these aspects having undertaken university/studies in this area. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer and more. I learnt so much about hinduism and buddhism. We went to places where no other tourists were (small rural villages) and so I felt that the experience was incredibly authentic.The homestay itself was amazing. Each day we would converse with the family - they made us feel like we truly were a part of the family. The traditional Nepali cuisine was a highlight. Beautiful food and huge servings! I would strongly recommend that all people travelling to Nepal for the first time- stay here at this homestay. It was brilliant!
