Less than an hour from the crowded lanes of Kathmandu, the road climbs onto the southwest corner of the valley, where the Neydo Tashi Choeling Monastery and Neydo Hotel stands amongst pine and terraced hillside. Rooms look out over pine forest or prayer hall, near enough to hear the morning chants at dawn, far enough to remain entirely your own.
Neydo is a hotel first: comfortable rooms, attentive service, and a kitchen that cooks well. What sets it apart is where it stands: guests are welcome to visit the monastery’s prayer halls, or relax amid breathtaking valley views, with the option, never the obligation, to look closer at the spiritual life next door.
Rooms set on the monastery grounds. Comfortable and unadorned, looking out over pine forest or prayer hall.
A resident community of monks, carrying one enduring lineage. Guests are welcome to visit and observe, entirely at their own pace.
Meditation sessions, sacred caves, and the walk around the neighboring village as much or as little as you’d like.
Getting here, what to expect, and what to bring.
Neydo Tashi Choeling Monastery, Pharping, Kathmandu, Nepal
Less than an hour from the crowded lanes of Kathmandu, the road climbs into the southwest corner of the valley, past Pharping, to where the monastery stands among pine and terraced hillside. Twenty-three rooms rest beside its walls – near enough to hear the horns at dawn, far enough to remain entirely your own.
This is not simply a place to stay. It is a place to sit still, to walk the forest paths of Hattiban, to eat what the monks eat, and, if you wish, to do nothing at all.
Twenty-two kilometres from Kathmandu, past the temple town of Pharping, Neydo sits where the valley climbs into pine forest. It is, at once, a working Buddhist monastery, home to two hundred monks, and a twenty-three-room hotel built to share it — quietly, and on its own terms.
Twenty-three rooms, beside the monastery walls. Simple, unadorned, and looking out over pine or prayer hall.
Two hundred monks, one enduring lineage. A working monastery guests are invited to witness, not merely observe.
Meditation, sacred caves, and the forest trails of Hattiban — a day shaped by the mountain, not a schedule.
