Heart of Bhaktapur Guest House

Bhaktapur


This modern 13-room guesthouse supports the Suvadra Foundation (www.sfnepal.org), a local NGO helping children with disabilities. Guests are drawn more by the cause than the rooms, which have hard mattresses and tiny bathrooms, but it's a friendly place with a fine rooftop terrace and the hallways are enlivened by artwork and photos of the children. Rates include tax.
