Excellent value. Very comfortable room, fast WiFi, and good pressure in the hot shower. A great base for exploring Kathmandu.
Welcome to Pulukisi Residence, your home away from home in the heart of Kathmandu. Nestled in a tranquil yet well-connected neighborhood near the iconic Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), our apartment rental offers the perfect blend of peaceful living and urban convenience.
Our Story
Pulukisi Residence is named in honor of the traditional Newari white elephant dance, a symbol of cultural pride, festivity, and community that has been part of Kathmandu Valley’s heritage for centuries. Just as the Pulukisi dance brings people together in celebration, our residence was created to bring travelers and locals together in comfort, style, and authentic Nepali hospitality.
Located in the serene foothills near Swayambhunath, our property sits in one of Kathmandu’s most spiritually significant and historically rich areas. We are minutes away from the ancient stupa’s daily rituals, yet far enough from the city’s hustle to offer you true peace and quiet.
Our Philosophy
At Pulukisi Residence, we believe that where you stay should be as memorable as where you go. Our philosophy is simple:
- Authenticity: We honor Nepali traditions while embracing modern comforts
- Community: We create spaces where connections are made and memories are shared
- Tranquility: We provide a sanctuary from the bustling city outside
- Quality: We never compromise on the amenities that matter most to you
