Royal Mountain Travel, a Nepal based sustainable tour operator established in 2005, is a community of travel experts dedicated to preserving local culture and environment to deliver authentic and meaningful vacation to travellers travelling in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. We work with travel agents and companies to help them build customized trips for their clientele.
Community Homestay is an initiative from Royal Mountain Travel. It is a bridge bringing together the diverse culture, tradition, and real faces of Nepal to rest of the world. Community Homestays are an opportunity to live and dine with a local family, cherish the moments spent with a host community and experience the authentic hospitality of Nepalese society.
The host family welcomes guests more than just a tourist, but as a friend, as a part of a family member. During a stay with the host family participate in their local festivals, celebrations, and daily work. It is an exceptional opportunity to experience a completely different way of life, far from the mad rush of the world we are all too familiar with. Certainly, there couldn’t be any better way than this to give you an insight into the real or authentic Nepal.
