A village home with a kitchen at its heart

Ground-floor kitchen, café, and bakery; quiet rooms above. Sedi is a short walk from Phewa — village evenings, lake and market close by. Phase one: land and a Nepal company, then build.

A wholesome village home by Phewa — kitchen at the heart, rooms for a weekend or a month, every space with a clear job.

How you can help The idea

Sedi — quiet lane life, lake a short walk away.

The idea

Maya Guesthouse is a small house in Sedi: rooms upstairs, kitchen and terrace on the ground floor. Guests and neighbors share the same tables — bread, dal, coffee, evening light.

The kitchen is the welcome. Rooms are for people who stay long enough to unpack. The company is a Nepal private limited business, 100% Maya, growing in phases so each step is real before the next opens.

Why Sedi

Sedi sits about 350 metres from the lakeside strip — market and lake within easy reach, evenings that stay quiet. The full address will publish with the land.

Long-stay travelers want a neighborhood; locals want a table that belongs to the lane. Sedi holds both: access to Phewa without living on the strip.

Ground floor

Restaurant, café, and bakery open onto a terrace — the living room of the house. Food leads; the terrace holds conversation.

Hours will suit month-long guests and neighbors alike. Layout and fit-out follow the plot and permits we secure on the ground.

Rooms

Upstairs rooms are built for weeks and months — privacy, quiet, space to work and rest. Room counts and rates will go live when the house is built and the numbers are set.

Simple tiers, with pricing that favors longer stays. The goal is a room you return to, not a one-night bunk.

How it feels

Home, not hostel — same table, same light, shoes by the door. Good food, rest, and the lane going quiet at night.

A kitchen garden, yoga, and small gatherings can grow over time. Day one is the house itself: body, food, and community in plain sight.

Phase one

First we secure buildable land in Sedi, register the Nepal company, and open a company bank account. Then design and build — kitchen-first ground floor, rooms above.

Working target for this phase: USD 150,000 toward land and foundation. Figures update as surveys and offers land; construction budgeting follows a locked plot.

Email us to start a conversation. Card checkout and bank details will appear here once the company account is verified.

Maya Guesthouse is a commercial Nepal business, not a registered charity. Gifts are voluntary, non-refundable, and not equity. Tax treatment depends on your country — ask your advisor.

Founder

Maya is building this as her house and her company. She runs the kitchen and answers the door. Ownership stays in a Nepal private limited company in her name only.

She chose Sedi for village calm within walking distance of the lake, and locked the kitchen-first plan before the room list existed.

I want a house where people stay long enough to learn the neighbors' names — and where the kitchen is the first room you feel.
