Reviews of Shekhar's Shared Home

Shekhar's Shared House in Bhaktapur is a truly special place, perfect for solo travelers. The location is unbeatable—a short walk from Bhaktapur Durbar Square, with easy access to all the main sights, yet tucked away on a quiet street. The house has a warm, welcoming vibe. The beautiful decor features traditional Newari architecture, with intricate woodwork and a cozy design. My room was simple but very comfortable and clean, a lovely private space. The rooftop terrace offers a stunning 360-degree view of the old city and the Himalayan mountains. It is a fantastic spot to relax, especially at sunset. The shared kitchen is well-equipped and a great place to meet other guests, share travel stories, and make a meal. This communal aspect really made my stay feel like a home away from home. Shekhar is an excellent host. He is friendly and helpful and a great resource for local tips on what to see and do in the area. His advice helped me discover hidden alleys and local spots I would have missed otherwise. His hospitality truly makes the place special. I cannot recommend this guesthouse enough for a genuine and memorable Bhaktapur experience.

Best place to stay in town, especially for solo travelers! Shekhar is a friendly host who kindly offers local advice. I will definitely visit this place again when coming back to Nepal 🇳🇵 it’s close to one of my favorite shop, the peacock shop, where they makes cool paper products 😍

Like home! Shekhar makes everything easy for you and Bhaktapur is very nice to discover from this place !

The location can't be better, just a few steps away from the square. The place has a lot of charm and Shekhar made me feel at home and took very good care of me

Potentially the best place to be in the valley. Shekar makes you feel at home and is a fabulous host. I stayed way longer than I anticipated and it was hard to leave. Good enough internet for worker bees, nice chill spaces for hippies, all around a great place to be.

It was hard to leave. I didn't want to.

Staying at Shekhar’s Shared Home in Bhaktapur was an absolutely amazing experience! The location is perfect—right in the heart of the historic city, making it easy to explore the stunning temples, streets, and culture of Bhaktapur. The home itself is comfortable, offering a cozy and authentic Nepali experience. What truly sets this place apart is Shekhar himself. He’s not just a host but also an incredible guide, going above and beyond to help you discover Nepal in every sense. From showing you around the local area to sharing insights about Nepali traditions and culture, he ensures you have an unforgettable stay. If you want to immerse yourself in Nepal’s beauty and culture while feeling at home, Shekhar’s Shared Home is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Nice authentic old house with warm feelings. Great location and Shekhar is a nice host.

The location was good. Don’t expect a lot from this place. It’s very simple to meet basic needs.

The mattress was too hard for me. It was like sleeping on the floor. I had back pain in the morning. No toilet paper in the bathroom.

It is a beautiful old building in the center, my room was very 'vintage', there was a good, equipped kitchen but most of all the atmosphere was wonderful. The owner was nice and super-friendly and I had a great time there

The ceiling in some part of the building were low and I banged my head 3 times a day (on average). But this was a price worth to pay to stay in this beautiful building

I really like the host, is a simple but great person!

Shekhar is a wonderful host. He really makes the place special. Great location, great tips about how to make the most of your time there, and comfortable sleeping. I loved it.

Cleaning could be a bit better

Wonderful place with a fantastic host. Great location and very comfy home. Had a really good time there and will be back for sure!

Shekhar’s home is in a fantastic location, right next to Dattatraya Temple Square in the beautiful centre of Bhaktapur. Shekhar is a fantastic host, a very kind and friendly man who showed me many sights in Bhaktapur that I would never have seen alone. The property has a communal area, kitchen and washing machine so you have all the facilities you need 😁😁😁

A very special place right in the heart of Bhaktapur. Shekhar is an amazing host, thoughtful and helpful. He can make you feel really at home. He shares his culture and his time with every guest, not just his home. Here you can experience the difference between visiting a place and living it.

Had an amazing stay at this guest house. If you are looking for a place that feels like a home, relaxing and in an area of Bhaktapur with less tourists I highly recommend you come here. Not to mention that Shekhar is such a great hosts that will show you around and give you cool tips. Thanks mate!!

Everything. Thank you Shekhar for your hospitality. Beautiful house, full of treasures. Love the common space. Amazing city, people, and the guest house would be one of the reason to go back to Bhaktapur.

Nothing

This is a perfectly situated, comfortable homestay run by lovely people. It had the bonus of a kitchen, which I think would have been a great social space usually though we were there a little out of the busy season.

Shekhar is an amazing host, taking care of everyone in his house. He welcomes you, takes you around the city, gives lots of information,... The house is really cosy and makes you feel like home. I can really recommend this place!

Shekhar was not home so we didn't meet him but the lady who was there was also really friendly
