We stumbled upon Jala Homestay through the recommendation of a friend and we are so happy we went. First, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with a good bed, sitting area with TV, and a nice kitchenette. The location is also top notch - it's in the middle of the Asan Bazaar, but tucked into an alleyway so you can appreciate the quiet at night. But what really made this place special was the family and their delicious FOOD. We had a giant delicious Newari meal and it was legit the best food in our three week trip to Nepal (and with very cheap prices). We were so sad we found this gem at the end of our trip - if given the chance we would have eaten there every day! The family who runs Jala Homestay is kind and some of the best people you'll meet in Nepal. After talking with the family, we discovered their son was in a band. We had the joy of going to one of his band's shows (they regularly play in Thamel) and we were blown away by his expert singing and their massive western repertoire. It was truly the cherry on the cake of an amazing stay and a fun time in Kathmandu. We look forward to coming back very soon!
