About Awale House

Awale House is a charming and culturally immersive boutique guesthouse nestled in the historic heart of Lalitpur (Patan), Nepal. The name "Awale" is a traditional Newari surname, reflecting the property's deep roots in the local community and its commitment to preserving and sharing authentic Newari heritage. Housed in a beautifully restored traditional residence, Awale House features classic red-brick architecture, intricately carved wooden windows and struts, and a peaceful central courtyard (bahal) that transports guests back in time. The accommodations are thoughtfully designed, blending old-world charm with modern comforts including comfortable bedding, private bathrooms with hot water, complimentary Wi-Fi, and thoughtful local touches such as handmade textiles and traditional artwork. Guests can enjoy a quiet morning coffee in the courtyard, relax on a rooftop terrace offering views of Patan's temple spires and the distant Himalayan range, or savor authentic Newari and Nepali home-cooked meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Ideally located within walking distance of Patan Durbar Square (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Golden Temple (Hiranya Varna Mahavihar), Mahabuddha Temple, and countless artisan workshops specializing in metalwork, pottery, and thankga painting, Awale House offers an ideal base for cultural explorers, photographers, and heritage enthusiasts.
