Snowfinch Lodge

Snowfinch Lodge is a small, family-run garden guesthouse in Bhimsensthan, Kathmandu, welcoming travelers since 2009. Founded by Rukmani and Deepak Shrestha, it offers a quiet, personal alternative to a conventional hotel, with nine simple rooms arranged around a walled garden. The guesthouse is about a ten-minute walk from Durbar Square and suits trekkers, volunteers, and visitors seeking a peaceful base near the old city.

Rooms include single, double, twin, and family options, with rates starting at Rs 2,600 per night. Breakfast is included and served on the terrace from 7 to 10 a.m., alongside unlimited masala tea. Guests can enjoy the shaded courtyard, hot showers, same-day hand laundry, and complimentary luggage storage while away in the hills. The family also provides local directions and practical help with buses and trekking questions. Airport pick-up can be arranged for an additional fee. Snowfinch Lodge keeps its offering simple: comfortable essentials, home-cooked hospitality, and a garden retreat from Kathmandu’s busy streets.
