Since Shivapuri Heights Cottage can sometimes be difficult to find please be sure to arrive before dark (ie by 6pm). If possible please call us in advance to let us know an approximate arrival time and if you would like to have lunch.

We have a 4WD vehicle available if you would like to book a transfer from the airport or from another location in Kathmandu.

The cost is US$ 35 and must be booked in advance and is subject to availability of our vehicle.  The vehicle will bring you up the hill to the foot of our property and, if required, our staff will assist with luggage for the 2-3 minute walk up the steps.

If arriving by taxi we strongly suggest that you have the taxi driver call us and ask for exact directions (taxi drivers are notorious for taking you to the wrong place!).

We are located in the general area of Budhanilkantha or Narayanthan. The nearest landmark is the Hare Krishna Temple (ISKON).  Click here for link to Google Map

Important arrival information update (April 2022) : The last bit of our access road is more of a “track” and care should be taken when driving this portion.

There is limited parking available at the final “gumti” (turning point) and we request you to park thoughtfully.  Parking is at your own risk.

You still have to walk up 176 steps to reach our main Jasmine House  and please do call Ramita at the Cottage if you need help with your luggage etc.  We suggest/request that you travel light.  Guests requiring luggage to be carried will be charged @ Rs 200.00 per piece.
