Bagam Mayos Homestay

Bagam Mayos Homestay is in Listikot, a Sherpa-majority village in Bhotekoshi Rural Municipality, Sindhupalchok District, at around 2,340 metres above sea level. The village sits above the Bhotekoshi River gorge, accessed via a steep jeep track from Barabise on the Arniko Highway. On clear days the surrounding hills open into views of snow-covered peaks to the north, and the forested ridges and sun-dappled hillsides that drop toward the river below make Listikot one of the more scenic and genuinely remote village locations in the wider Kathmandu day-trip range. The area's population is primarily Sherpa, with deep ties to the Bhotekoshi valley and the nearby Listi Mai Temple, a significant Hindu shrine that draws pilgrims from across the region. The name "Bagam Mayos" reflects local community identity, and staying here means settling into a village that has not been shaped by tourist infrastructure. Trekking, hiking, and camping are the main activities around Listikot, with forested trails and ridge walks accessible directly from the village. Barabise, the nearest highway town, is roughly two hours from Kathmandu on the Arniko Highway, the same road that continues to Tatopani and the Nepal-China border. The Last Resort, known for bungee jumping over the Bhotekoshi gorge, is also located along this stretch of the highway. For travellers wanting a high-altitude village stay in Sindhupalchok with genuine remoteness and mountain scenery, Listikot sits well off the standard circuit.
