Accommodation in Kathmandu

Kathmandu's accommodation section holds 3 curated guides. The where-to-stay guide and the hostels guide each carry 10 entries, while the boutique guide sits at 8. That the hostels guide earned the same entry count as the where-to-stay guide tells you something about who visits Kathmandu. Independent travelers tend to plan their accommodation here with more care, and the 10-entry hostels guide reflects that pattern. The boutique guide's 8 entries cover a more focused selection.

The where-to-stay guide, at 10 entries, is the starting point if you have no fixed preference. It covers the widest range of stay types among the 3 guides. The hostels guide, also at 10 entries, is the better fit for solo travelers or anyone who wants a communal setup. The boutique guide narrows to 8 entries for travelers who already know they want something quieter.

August in Kathmandu averages 27°C with 31 rain days. September drops to 26°C and 29 rain days. Those 31 and 29 rain days turn your accommodation into the place you retreat to between afternoon downpours. September's 26°C keeps things mild, but expect damp streets on nearly every afternoon walk.

August averages 27°C with 31 rain days in Kathmandu, so accommodation during the monsoon months is as much about reliable shelter as comfort.
