Rooftop Studio at Boudha — stupa bells at 05:00बौद्ध छत स्टुडियो

About this place

One bright room over the kora, a shared roof with the Himalaya and the prayer flags

A converted top floor in a family building, done up with a carpenter from the ward and a lot of IKEA, which is the honest truth of it. One room with a good bed, a small kitchen, a desk by the window and a terrace you will end up living on.

Boudha is the right base if you want to smell butter lamps before breakfast: Tibetan bakeries, momo places, thangka studios, and the stupa's circling crowd of prostrating pilgrims. Kathmandu's best thing is that it is loud and dusty and completely unbothered; this is the corner of it that works for that.

• Kora (circumambulation) visible from the window — 20,000 people walk it on a Losar week
• Winter Himalaya panorama from the roof, Langtang to Gaurishankar
• Long-stay friendly: washing machine, desk, 60 Mbps, monthly rate −20%
• Yoga on the roof at 06:15 with a teacher from the nunnery up the lane

Entire stay

The bed faces the window so the first thing you see is the roofline and, on a clear morning, Langtang's white edge. Second window looks down the kora. Curtains are blackout — you will need them.

What this place has

Nepal reality check

Checked by a HimaGo team member on site — not claimed by the host.

Air quality

Kathmandu's winter mornings are poor (AQI 150–220 Nov–Jan). There's a N95 drawer and the roof is better than the street. Tenzi will tell you honestly which weeks are bad.

Power

Full inverter for lights, router and laptop; the heater is on the grid so it can cut off in a rare load event.

Water

Municipal + tank, filtered at the tap. Still don't drink from the tap — bottled/refill station downstairs, NPR 30/L.

Wi-Fi

60 Mbps, and there is a second line on a different ISP because that is how Kathmandu works.

Altitude

1,385 m. If you fly in from Delhi and trek to 3,000 the next day, you will feel it. Use this as a two-night buffer.

Where it is

Boudha, 300 m from the stupa's east gate
