Location of Ashok House

Our House is located about 300m away from both Patan Dhoka and Durbar Square, behind the beautiful Nagbahal Square.

Please be aware that there is no reception at the house. To access your accommodations, you have two options: either collect the key from our Cosy Nepal office in Swotha Square (just 200 m away), or call one of the numbers above when you are en route. We can then arrange to meet you near the property or provide directions to your driver as needed.

If you choose to proceed directly to the house and prefer to call upon arrival, the GPS coordinates are 27°40'34.6"N 85°19'29.1"E. Please note, the house is situated within an inner courtyard that may be challenging to locate. Once you reach the GPS point, look for the water well, and then find a smaller courtyard on the right where is our ASHOK HOUSE.

To help you remember the location of the house, we've placed a Nepali flag on the building directly across from the first courtyard you will enter, right next to the painted "tattoo" house. Inside this courtyard, you'll see another Nepali flag; take a right turn there to access the second courtyard, where our Ashok house is located on the left as you enter.

You can also request us to pick you up with our Airport Shuttle. The driver will then leads you directly to your room. From the airport, the service costs 20 USD for day fare, 25 USD at night (7pm - 7am). Send us a message to book it!

While going to Ashok house from Swotha Square

Directions to Swotha Square

1. From the Airport (Sankamul way) - Ask your driver to go to Patan Durbar Square via Sankhamul / UN Park road. Swotha Square is just 100 meters before reaching Patan Durbar Square and 50 meters after passing the famous b&b called Newa Chhen. See precise indications below : ‘‘Location of the house in Swotha square”.

2. From Kathmandu (Labim mall road) - Your driver should take Pulchowk Gabahal road (Labim Mall road) toward Patan Durbar Square. Just before reaching Patan Durbar Square, he needs to turn left at the traffic light (Mahapal chowk). You are then on Kwalakhu road, follow it over 200m until you reach the third temple on your right. Here you see a small chained area turn right here and you arrive on Swotha Square. See precise indications below : ‘‘Location of the house in Swotha square”.

3. From Patan Durbar Square - Only by walk - 100 meters away- you might need to pay a NPR 1000 entrance fee to enter the UNESCO protected heritage area (valid during your entire stay if you require it). Cross Durbar square all the way through from the main ticket counter (south) toward north. In front of you appears the “Lalitpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry” and the restaurant "Café du Temple". Leave those on your right and keep going straight on the street (touristic shops) over 100 meters; you end up in Swotha Square (you see two beautiful temples: one white pagoda and one two storey wood temple).
