Frequently asked questions about hostels in Nepal

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget travellers, exploring the numerous trekking trails outside of Kathmandu and Pokhara is a fantastic option. The Annapurna Conservation Area offers stunning scenery at a relatively low cost, though permits are required. Similarly, exploring the villages around Nagarkot provides breathtaking views of the Himalayas without the hefty price tag of guided tours. Many free cultural experiences can be found in Kathmandu's numerous temples and stupas, such as Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) and Boudhanath Stupa.
  • What are the best hostels in Nepal?

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Nepal?

    Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu handles the vast majority of international flights. There are smaller airports for domestic flights, such as Pokhara Airport (PKR) and Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) in Lukla, but KTM remains the primary gateway.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Nepal?

  • What currency is needed in Nepal?

    The Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is the official currency. While some larger establishments may accept other currencies, it's best to exchange money upon arrival at the airport or in major cities to get the best exchange rate. Carrying some US dollars can be useful in certain situations, but using NPR is always preferable.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Nepal?

    The best hostels with a jacuzzi in Nepal are Flock Kathmandu, Yog Hostel and Roommates By Maybemars.

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Nepal?

    Navigating roads in Nepal can be challenging, particularly outside of major cities. The road conditions vary significantly, with many routes being unpaved and prone to landslides, especially during the monsoon season. Public transport is widely available but can be crowded and slow. Hiring a taxi or private driver is an option for more comfort and convenience, but it's significantly more expensive.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Nepal?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Nepal are Hotel Forest Lake Backpackers' Hostel, Elbrus Home and Shangrila Boutique Hotel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Nepal?

    Respectful behaviour in Nepal includes dressing modestly when visiting religious sites, removing your shoes before entering homes or temples, and asking for permission before taking photographs of people. Being mindful of local traditions and customs shows consideration and helps foster positive interactions with the local population. Learn a few basic Nepali phrases – it's greatly appreciated.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Nepal?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Nepal are Shangrila Boutique Hotel, Wander Thirst and Zostel Kathmandu.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Nepal?

    Dashain and Tihar are two of the most significant festivals in Nepal, celebrated with vibrant colours, elaborate rituals and community gatherings. Dashain, the longest festival, is a time for family reunions and feasting, while Tihar, or Diwali, is the festival of lights, celebrated with lamps and fireworks. Other important festivals include Holi, a colourful festival of spring, and Buddha Jayanti, celebrating the birth of Buddha.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Nepal?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Nepal?

    For medical emergencies, you should dial 102. For police emergencies, dial 100. It is advisable to have the numbers of your embassy or consulate readily available, and to inform them of your travel plans before you go. Many hotels and tour operators will also have emergency contact information readily available.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Nepal?

    A week in Nepal could involve exploring Kathmandu's cultural heritage sites, followed by a trek in the Annapurna region or a visit to Pokhara for stunning lake views and adventure activities. This itinerary balances cultural immersion with outdoor activities.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Nepal?

    For a weekend getaway, exploring Kathmandu's historical sites like Durbar Square and Pashupatinath Temple is a good start. Alternatively, Nagarkot offers a short trip outside Kathmandu with magnificent Himalayan views. Both options provide a taste of Nepali culture and natural beauty without requiring extensive travel time.
  • Are there specific regions known for great weather?

    The weather in Nepal varies greatly depending on altitude and season. Pokhara generally enjoys a more temperate climate than Kathmandu. The higher altitudes, such as the Everest region, experience significantly colder temperatures throughout the year. The best time to visit for pleasant weather is generally during the autumn (September-November) and spring (March-May) seasons.
