I have been coming and going to the Kathmandu valley in Nepal for the better part of two decades, and the Peacock Guesthouse is my favorite place to stay. It has the feel of a home away from home. The guesthouse is run by Arun, the manager, and his family, who are always so caring and attentive. Tucked away in the ancient city of Bhaktapur and surrounded by the peacefulness of the Dattatreya Square, you will feel transported back 700 years in this brick-and-wooden-delight of a building. Leave the chaos of Kathmandu behind and stay here instead; perch yourself on the main patio or the rooftop patio with a book, a drink or both; or have a beer in the veranda while watching the endless festivities, processions, and the trumpeters and drummers pass you by as they transverse the square. I look forward to my morning milk coffee breakfast, which includes fresh fruit, eggs any kind and vegetables; and of course, the juju dhau (look it up); plus good Newari and Asian fare for dinner. The rooms are spacious and clean, beds are comfy, but don’t forget stoop if you are tall. All and all, it’s a best kept secret, but it shouldn’t be.
