Our Journey...
Swastik Guesthouse was established in 2016 to provide a peaceful, homely stay in the heart of Bhaktapur.
In 2019, we expanded our vision Hostel Swastik, designed for vibrant, social, and budget-friendly travel experiences.
In 2024, we proudly introduced Swastik Village – an Organic Farm and Education Center – blending sustainable living with hands-on learning opportunities.
Looking ahead, our upcoming project, Swastik Residency – Art House, set to open in 2026, will be a creative space where culture, art, and community meet.
Each space is thoughtfully created to welcome and inspire all kinds of travelers who seek something more meaningful in their journeys.

Namaste! I am a Newar from Bhaktapur with years of experience in housekeeping — from hospitals to private homes. I enjoy keeping the space clean and welcoming for our guests. Sometimes my 6 year old daughter joins me after school — she’s a bundle of joy!
