Laughing Buddha Home||||Lekhnath Marg, Thamel 29, Kathmandu, Nepal (just near ManMohan Hospital)||||Email: knockag@hotmail.com, Web: laughingbuddhahome.com||||Tel: 977-1-9841225794, 01-4422562||||On a quiet backstreet, by a narrow lane that blocks motorbikes and cars, just hidden behind a hospital, is a wonderful little long stay guest house, the “Laughing Buddha Home”. It is managed by a pious Gurung Buddhist family. This is not a party place, but if you want to have a good experience of Nepal and its people, then please do consider staying here. The rates are fair, and especially for long stays there is even a further reduction. Rooms are well maintained and smoke free. Bathrooms are clean. The WiFi works throughout the floors. Electricity is constant. Hot water is rooftop solar, which is a wonderful temperature, or backed up by electrical heating. Rooms on the sunny far side of the house are southern facing, with a lovely garden view. Authors like to write there viewing the garden, watching birds fly, and hearing children's laughter from a nearby school. One can thus set up a bit of a home atmosphere, and enjoy a quiet, easy life. The location is at just the northern most end of Thamel, so all manner of restaurants and services are easily available. when you want them, else it's just serenely quiet.
