In the nearby surroundings lies the 'real' life of Nepal at your feet.  Against a fairytale-like scenery, farmers work on the land, children go to school and the cattle passes you by. Here, the time appears to have stood still... 

From your cottage, you will walk into the rice fields and further ahead a local market, temple or Buddhist monastery. There are many more traditional activities in Sankhu. Other lively cities such as Bhaktapur, Changu, Nharagot and Sundarijal are also easily accessible.

Take advantage of the many biking- and bicycle routes that crosses the surrounding, passing by beautiful temples that are not for no reason on the world inheritance list of Unesco.
