Nagarkot Farmhouse Resort

Top choice in Nagarkot


If you want to disconnect, this peaceful forest hotel is your place. With no TV or phone signal, you'll be forced to sit on your balcony enjoying a sensational sweep of peaks, and lovely valley views as well. Alternatively you can dip into the meditation room for some yoga. A dedicated owner ensures a great stay. Taxes included.

The best rooms are in the Newari-inspired brick complex on the edge of the garden, with spotless bathrooms, wood stoves, deep mattresses and deckchairs. It's located about 2km past the Hotel Country Villa down the dirt track to Sankhu – a most difficult road during monsoon.
