Earth house vacation rentals in Nepal

Sunita's homestay was just incredible. We had a really great time, good and lots of local food and warm blankets. Sunita and her son showed us around and we did day hikes to the surrounding villages. We really felt at home and didn't want to leave Maybe good to know: Either you have to take a jeep to Manang (around 7 hours and 30 dollars per person) or you plan to stay there during your Annapurna circuit. The village lies on 3500 m and I would bring enough cash and warm clothes. We took the jeep from beshi shahar and had incredible views. Also be ready to enjoy some days without wifi (they do have it but only in some places and it doesn't work so well). But honestly if you stay in such a location, you should enjoy the smartphone free days. In addition, you should be ready for a bucket-shower which also didn't bother us. It all contributed to an authentic local experience. Lastly, the prices are a bit more expensive in the village, if you eat lunch, so also be prepared for that.

This place is a true getaway. A little hard to find on your own or with a taxi driver unfamiliar with the area but Ashish helped us find a local driver who got us there no problem, and Ashish was there personally to help us check in. We were three adults and four kids (8, 9, 10, 14) and had plenty of space for sleeping. Nepali style mattresses were relatively comfy. Kids enjoyed picking and eating mulberries. That tree also brought a multitude of different birds which was a real treat. Kitchen well stocked but bring your own groceries if you want to cook, as there aren’t many nearby stores. Breakfast is included, for which Ashish gives you lots of options, and if you don’t want to cook there is great momos and dal baht at the Kotdanda Valley View Restaurant, just a five minute walk away. The glass house, or solarium, was a favorite space for the kids to play and imagine. It’s also where they slept, with an amazing view of the city lights below. We had a wonderful time!

Lovely, proactive and responsive Host. Thank you Deepak for staying with you, was amazing. Only stayed for two nights, but was worth every penny. Nice experience in a Mud house!! Nice and quietly to stay. If he develops the community space & kitchen this would be amazing. I the surrounding some good restaurants or things to do are missing, but if one is not looking for something like that it doesn't matter!!?

An unforgettable stay with an amazing, warm and welcoming family. The village is beautiful, full of fascinating history. Quick tip: learn some Nepalese basics before you arrive, because communication can be a challenge! (I worked my Nepalese for now)

I had the most special experience staying with ama and her family. There wasnt a lot to do in the village but the experience of just observing the daily village lives and being integrated as part of their local lives as a traveller makes this experience so memorable. I spent most times sitting in the kitchen watching ama and the sister in law cook up delicious meals from the open fire. Ama always invite me to observe her daily activities, shared her buddhist prayer ritual with me at the stupa and cooked up the most delicous dahl i ever had. Its such a privilege to experience this village life as a travellor and though we cant communicate in english she shared a book about her benefactor laura who was the reason all of this was possible. Rabindra was also super helpful in getting my transport and met me at the pick up point in pokhara. The sunrise views are magical as well, and on some clear days the mountains will also show itself at the backyard. An experience i will never forget!
