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 😍

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

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

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.

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!

Cleanliness can vary, but it’s comparable to other hostels.

I can’t recommend Shekhar’s Shared Home enough. Shekhar, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure you have a full experience of Bhaktapur. He personally guides his guests, free of charge, through the winding alleys of the historic city, revealing the hidden gems of the area and introducing them to local delicacies. His guesthouse also has a welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. In the evenings, the living room transforms into a gathering spot where travelers from all over connect and share stories. If you’re traveling alone or want to experience Bhaktapur from a local’s perspective, Shekhar’s Shared Home is the perfect place.

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

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

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.

Nothing

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.

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.

The best place to stay in Bhaktapur if you're looking for a good time and to connect with other people and get to know locals of the culture and people. Shekhar is the friendliest guy you'll meet and you will make some good memories with him.

Everything is perfect at Shekar's. I went there for 3 weeks and Shekar makes you feel like you're at home. He is super friendly and will show you around and what you can't discover from a tourist point of view. The guest house enables you to share some time with others travelers and it's very charming. I highly recommend the place !

Very nice hostellike homestay in a splendid part of bhaktapur. Shekars is the nicest host who likes o spend time with his guests everyday and shows them the Real life of Nepali people in bhaktapur. This place seems to attract lot of laid back people, somehow almost all from france lol, who like to spend time together. Everybody was so nice and cool and it was the perfect ending of my Nepal trip.

Shekhar is a special person that has created a special place for travellers to come together, share and find a likeminded community which this place seems to attract. On arrival I felt immediately at peace as it feels like home and has the best energy. Shekhar is very generous with sharing his time to show guests around the hidden gems of Bhaktapur and knowledge of Nepali and Newari culture. Staying here wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was an experience of getting to really know the city and Nepali way of life. Staying here also reminded me of the important things in life - good company, community, music, spirituality, art, food, learning and exploring. It was one of the highlights of two months travelling Nepal which speaks volumes :)
