Best places to stay in Nepal

Even though Nepal is a very small country, finding a place to sleep is never a problem. However, options can be plentiful in established tourist destinations alone. The best places to stay in Nepal depend on what the traveler is looking for: comfort or value. Prices will vary greatly depending on the season of travel, the type and level of accommodation, and the location. Tea houses and lodges are common along trekking trails, while budget guesthouses or mid-range guesthouses are more widespread in cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Other accommodation options include hotels and resorts, which can range from 5-star luxury to the very basic. Airbnb has recently added to the Nepalese accommodation market.
