Getting here
Finding the house
Kora House is on Buddha House Road — the road the locals call the Kora — about 500 m from the entrance to the residence of His Holiness. It is a homestay, not a hotel with a lit-up signboard. Message us when you're close and we'll walk you the last stretch.
~50–60 steps
From the car park up to the house, and no lift. Every room is above that climb, the ground-floor one included. The caretaker will carry your bags — but the steps are unavoidable, so please weigh them honestly before you book.
About 500 m
To the entrance of His Holiness' residence. Restricted vehicular access on the approach road, so the last part is on foot.
The walk in
The stone boundary wall of His Holiness' residence on one side, the valley open on the other. You will pass monks and devotees walking the same route. Parts of it climb. That is the point, more or less: it lifts your heart rate and fills your lungs with mountain air on the way.
If you have the time, do the whole circuit rather than just the stretch to our door. It is the quietest hour you will get here.

The last stretch, honestly
- Roughly 50 to 60 steps from the car park up to the house, and no lift. Every room is above that climb, including the ground-floor one. The caretaker will carry your bags, but the steps themselves are unavoidable, so the house is not suited to guests with mobility difficulty.
- The market is about 500 metres away.
- Housekeeping is not daily.
