You could, or course, just pitch up. I did, and thousands do.

If you want an inexpensive guesthouse, afterall's advice is good. You can bargain in person for the price of the room. If you are looking fro a very nice hotel, you'll want to make reservations in advance.

We're headed to Kathmandu in a few weeks, and we chose the Hyatt. I stayed at the Yak and Yeti many years ago, but recent reports indicate that it is now quite run down.

Woo hoo Kathie - how many sleeps to go now?

Kathie Sep 28th, 2008 04:31 PM

We fly from Seattle three weeks from today!

I'm staying at the Hotel Courtyard in November for 5 nights, and am reading really good reviews, so am looking very forward to seeing what it is like and if it live's up to all it's good reviews.

I talked to someone who stayed there recently and they said it was fantastic...

I bet u are excited Kathie..i already am and not leaving til Nov 12th!!

Hi we went to Nepal in Feb with our 3 year old son.
Stayed at the Hyatt Kathmandu which was good. Fishtail lodge in Pokhara which was a bit dated but good. (They were renovating some of i t while we were there). Two nights was more than enough.
Had a great time in the fixed camp doing an elephant trek in Chitwan (stayed Temple Tiger). Again, 2 n ights tops.
FLY as much as you can as the roads are HELL.
Stayed Dwarikas on our return. Expensive but well worth it.
Used nakul from Corsa Nepal travel and he was terrific.

We leave for India and Nepal October 4th!!

We finally decided on Dwarikas and Apa Vila Phulbari for our time in and around Kathmandu. We are really excited about both properties. I plan to write a review of each when we return.

Dogster, just saw that we will have a full moon while at Phulbari! Thanks again for sharing this unique property!

dogster Sep 29th, 2008 02:11 AM

Wow Erwench, bravo. I really hope it;ll pay off for you. A full moon up there will be awesome. I certainly want to hear everything.

Just keep saying that 'unique' word.. it'll sure be that. Now go see for yourself. Well Done.

I'm jealous that I have to stay home.

TracyB Sep 29th, 2008 05:47 AM

Wow, that Apa Vila Phulbari looks cool, wish we had longer in Nepal, would check it out!!

Kathie Sep 29th, 2008 06:42 AM

Lots of us headed for Nepal - I'm looking forward to everyone's reports.

Kathie Oct 13th, 2008 06:35 PM

Yes, HT, we're ready to go! Well, I guess we do have to pack still...

TracyB Oct 14th, 2008 08:14 AM

Well have a great time Kathie...look forward to your report with lots of ideas for my trip next month!!!
