A place for 'simplicity lovers'
Sherpa Alpine Cottage is a small rustic retreat in the hills of Nagarkot, just 32 kms east of Kathmandu, a mere one hour drive by car. It is a lovely little spot with views down to the Indrawati valley and up the hillsides to the north and east towards the himalayan peaks.
People from Kathmandu pop up for a weekend, for a refreshing change; some tourists stay for many days, even weeks. Guests from other hotels will also stop by and enjoy a cup of coffee, a bottle of beer, or a full meal. Indeed, over the years, the lodge has established itself as one of the favorite place to stay and eat in Nagarkot. You can be sure of a warm welcome at Sherpa Alpine Cottage.
Make no mistake. Nothing fancy. Simple wooden cottages built on terraced hills. Inexpensive and clean. Private and intimate. Ideal for families, friends, romantics, and anyone who enjoys nature, peace and quiet.
From every sides of the cottage, there are splendid views of the valley, terraced fields, villages and distant mountains.
To get an impressive 360ยบ view of the sunrise and the Himalayan peaks, many guests make their way to the lookout tower in the dawn, which is an easy one hour uphill walk to the south of the cottage. If you are not a keen walker, we can help by arranging a jeep or car drive for you.

Take the left from the bus stop at Nagarkot and follow the paved road between the local tea shops that winds further up through the pine forests to the top. As you arrive at the second intersection, avoid left and keep straight ahead. Now you should be able to see the cottages painted in green and white. We are just minutes away...
