Star View has now changed hands. No longer under Amanda Summers. It is called The Nest, and is newly managed by Mr Laxmi Prasad of the nearby Changu Farm House. He has been in the hospitality business for the past 20 years and is very integrated with his local community. His wife Shree and her sister Rozita were most helpful during my stay there. So much so that my intended 1 day stay became 3 days. Nice big sunny airy room. Clean bed, sheets and duvet. Super good hot water showers!!!!!! Shree took pains to make me various traditional Nepali breakfasts and dinners to try. The green bean pancakes are a must try. Laxmi himself took me on off road bike trips to visit temples nearby and a day to Bhaktapur. He speaks excellent English and also provided a lot of information and discussion on local customs, Hindusim, Buddhism and politics. Location wise, Changu Narayan is a nice quiet retreat. I made the right decision to visit old Bhaktapur on a day trip rather than stay there . A very micro model of Bhaktapur - the oldest temple in Nepal and only 1 street. The hotel is located far behind the temple. Quite a long walk up and down the hill. Best to contact them in advance to meet you at the town carpark.
