Patlekhet Community Homestay: Where Nature, Simplicity & Families Welcome You

Tucked away between the terraced hills of Kavre, just a short drive from Dhulikhel, lies a serene Newar village called Patlekhet. Untouched by the noise of mainstream tourism, this tranquil community is slowly transforming lives, especially for the women who have turned their homes into warm, welcoming homestays through a beautiful initiative called Patlekhet Community Homestay.

At 8Mountains, we believe in trekking and travel with a purpose, supporting female-led experiences, promoting community upliftment, and helping you discover the real Nepal. Patlekhet is the perfect embodiment of all three.

Why Visit Patlekhet?

Patlekhet isn’t a destination, it’s a pause. A quiet breath of fresh mountain air, a home-cooked meal over warm conversation, and a reconnection with nature and yourself.

Here, a cluster of homes managed by local women offer travelers a peaceful retreat in the hills with panoramic views of farmlands, forests, and snow-dusted peaks on clear days. It’s a true off-the-beaten-path gem where time slows down, and the small joys of rural life become profound experiences.

🏡 Homestays That Feel Like Home

The homestays in Patlekhet are simple, clean, and comfortable, offering private rooms, attached bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and the kind of genuine hospitality you rarely find elsewhere. You’re not just a guest, you’re a part of the family.

🧘 Slow Travel, Real Connection

Wake up to the sounds of birds and distant temple bells. Help in the kitchen, learn to make local dishes like sel roti or gundruk, or simply enjoy a fresh cup of milk tea as the sun rises over the village fields.

🌾 Walk, Hike & Explore

Surrounded by nature trails, orange orchards, and pine forests, Patlekhet is ideal for short village walks or day hikes to nearby destinations like Dhulikhel or Namo Buddha. The views are stunning, the trails uncrowded, and the experience deeply grounding.

Women Leading from the Front

The women of Patlekhet weren’t always entrepreneurs. But with training, encouragement, and community support, they’ve become confident hosts, economic contributors, and cultural ambassadors.

Running the homestay not only provides a sustainable source of income but also builds pride and independence, especially for mothers and grandmothers who previously had little opportunity to participate in the formal economy.

Their hospitality goes beyond service, it’s rooted in generosity, culture, and care.

Getting to Patlekhet

Patalkhet is situation approximately 43 kilometers from Kathmandu in Kavrepalanchok District. It is just:

  • 1.5–2 hours by private vehicle from Kathmandu
  • 2.5–3 hours via bus, with transfers from Banepa or Dhulikhel

The road winds through scenic hills and charming towns, making the journey itself part of the experience.
