  • What is the cost of a hostel in Kathmandu?

    On average, it’s $170/night for a hostel in Kathmandu, though $169/night or less would be considered a good deal. The least expensive hostel our users have found recently was for $5/night in Kathmandu. Try to avoid booking your hostel in May (the most expensive month). Booking in April (the cheapest month) could save you money.

  • Should I stay in a Kathmandu hostel?

    Hostels in Kathmandu tend to have a more active social scene than hotels, so they’re perfect for outgoing travellers looking to meet other people. Kathmandu hostels are, on average, cheaper than other stays in the city due to their dorm-style sleeping quarters. However, this means you can spend your money elsewhere such as on local tours and events.
