If you search in Nepali, a homestay in Bhaktapur Durbar Square is what you are looking for when you type "homestay" or "basne thau" — the listings on this page are the same either way.

Bhaktapur is the smallest of the three valley districts and the one where heritage rules shape what can be built. Inside the old city, construction is constrained by conservation requirements around the Durbar Square core. The growth is on the outer edges - Suryabinayak, Changunarayan and the corridor toward Sallaghari - where plots are larger and access to the Araniko Highway matters to buyers. Land is measured in Ropani and Aana.
