CommunityHomestay.com is an initiative from Royal Mountain Travel. It is a community-based Homestay network
that connects global travellers with the real faces of Nepal for a genuine and local travel experience in Nepal. It is, also,
a way of exploring the rich diversity of Nepalese communities and a bridge, which connects local people and the culture
of Nepal to the rest of the world.
In our Community Homestays, the host family welcomes you as much more than just a tourist, but as a guest and a
friend. During your stay with the host family, there will be many ways where you can involve yourself in their daily lives,
and to participate in their local festivals, celebrations, and daily work. Certainly, there couldn’t be any better way than
this to give you an insight into the real or authentic Nepal.
CommunityHomestay.com works to encourage women’s empowerment and help preserve and value their traditional
skills. As most of the owners of the Homestays are unemployed or housewives from a low-income family; Community
Homestay is a reservoir for many housewives of Nepal to generate revenue from their very own houses. Owners
(housewives and women) of Panauti Community Homestay, Barauli, Nuwakot, etc. are earning as much as their
husbands do, merely by hosting guests via CommunityHomestay.com. We believe that if the mother is stronger, the
entire family becomes stronger. Eventually, when these micro families combine, it converts into a big strong community.
As the name suggests, CommunityHomestay.com doesn’t endorse a single house, but it inspires a series of families
of a community to operate as an entire team. This is our intention to bring social harmony among different caste,
religion, genders into a community for the brighter future. Community Homestay is committed to preserve the culture
and tradition of local and indigenous communities of Nepal; via introducing their lifestyle with the rest of the world
as a medium of authentic tourism. To be precise, CommunityHomestay.com is a platform for the women and local
communities of Nepal to generate sustainable economic opportunities as a part of responsible tourism.
CommunityHomestay.com is also a great way to exchange your ideas and skills to the local communities. Many of our
Homestays support their own village schools and learning centres from the surplus they generate from the Homestay
project. Whilst staying in one of the Homestays, you can also volunteer to teach in one of the schools, assist with the
rebuilding of classrooms damaged in the earthquake, or help by simply sharing your ideas about health, education, and
hygiene in the local community, encouraging and inspiring local people for better tomorrows.
Learn to cook like a local from the host family, explore the community life with them, learn native skills and see their
perspective on life, inspire, get inspired, and make your vacation memorable.
