Yes! You are going to Nepal! With its busy chaotic cities, rich culture and of course the Himalayas, this is a country that attracts many travellers! Now your search for nice hotels and guesthouses begins.
The best hotels in Nepal per destination, suitable for every budget!
Below we have listed the best accommodations* of different destinations in Nepal. There is always at least one budget option mentioned (e.g. hostel, basic guesthouse or accommodation, costs no more than €25). You will find a mid-range option in the middle of each hotel section. This is often a hotel with swimming pool, tasty breakfast and has a price range between €25 and €50. Finally, you will find a luxury option for every destination. These are (design) beautiful hotels where you will find everything you need. The prices range from € 50 to € 100 per night. Sometimes, this last category is not available for certain destinations in Nepal.
Have fun preparing for your trip!
We created a simple map of Nepal for you. So, you have an idea where the highlights of Nepal are located. This map contains also a travel itinerary that you could consider (duration 2 – 3 weeks). More important, this map covers all the places we cover in this accommodation guide: Kathmandu, Bandipur, Pokhara, Chitwan, Bardia National Park (good for spotting tigers) and Mt. Everest region.
Good to know: It is almost impossible to book accommodations for multi-day hikes in Annapurna and Mt. Everest region in advance. The places where you spend the night are basic “tea houses” that do not have a website or even FB.
The most unique experience is, of course, taking your sleeping gear up the mountain and sleep for a night on a mountain top. If this is not your thing then continue reading:)
