Located on the traffic-free main street of the small town of Bandipur, Gaun Ghar is a great place to break your journey, about 3 hours from Kathmandu, Pokhara or Chitwan. Recently restored and rebuilt, featuring fine traditional Newari architecture, Gaun Ghar provides simple but comfortable and a great base to explore traditional Nepalese life.
Built on the narrow ridge of a hill, the front facing rooms look onto the quiet main street with its attractive houses and temples, while the rear rooms have unobstructed views of the mountains. The restaurant serves excellent Nepalese food, while you can also eat meals or relax on the terrace out the back or on the rooftop to enjoy the fine views.
There are just 12 simple en-suite rooms, and as electricity in Bandipur is not very reliable your room may be lit by candlelight at night.
