Hotel Khangsar

Kathmandu


This friendly and central backpacker option enjoyed a renovation in 2017 and rooms, though simple, have been freshened up. Rooms come with a narrow but clean bathroom and there’s a pleasant garden rooftop bar for cold beers under the stars. The upper-floor rooms are best, especially the sunny corner ones away from the road.
