The best hotels in Nepal per destination, are suitable for every budget!
Below we have listed the best accommodations* for 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 often find a mid-range option in the middle of each hotel section. This is a hotel with a swimming pool, tasty breakfast, and a price range between €25 and €50. Finally, you will often 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 of where the highlights of Nepal are located. This map contains also a travel itinerary that you could consider (duration 2 – 3 weeks). More importantly, 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 sleeping for a night on a mountain top. If this is not your thing then continue reading:)
