Khwopa Guest House

Bhaktapur


Just south of Taumadhi Tole, this tiny, creaking family-run guesthouse is a rare budget choice in expensive Bhaktapur. The vibe is easy-going and friendly, and there are nice touches like towels, but the lack of communal areas makes it feel a bit claustrophobic. Mountain bike hire (Rs 1000 per day) can be arranged for guests.
