77 seconds: the gate, the smart lock, the apartments, the rooftop, the meditation hall and the forest behind.
Look out from the roof and you’ll see three different Kathmandus.

The house
A new five-storey building with an arched glass stair tower, a lawn and a rooftop. Four places to stay.
Below
The city
Swayambhunath 2.5 km. Thamel 3.5 km. Close enough for a day out, far enough to sleep well.
Behind
The forest
Nagarjun forest rises right above Raniban. The Jamacho trail starts a short walk away.
A real meditation hall, not a spare room with a mat.
Parquet floors, wood panelling, soft daylight through long curtains, and its own climate control. Guided sessions are available; ask Ishan for times.
- Mats, bolsters and cushions provided
- Brass singing bowls
- Himalayan Yoga Academy 220 m away
- Steam bath on site for afterwards
A small garden, looked after every day.
A lawn, marigolds and snake plants, a pergola for shade. Coffee here in the morning, the rooftop at sunset.
Private places to stay, for one or two.
