Balthali Mountain Resort

Top choice in Around the Kathmandu Valley


Beautifully perched on a hilltop, the tin-roofed red-brick cottages here are deceptively simple but perfectly suited for tired trekkers, with comfy beds and tubs. Two viewing decks, one with 360-degree views, are a great place to take your drink from the bar. The great surprise is the outstanding food; try the special Balthali bread.

You're likely to encounter bands of trekkers on weekends, in which case it is important to appreciate late-night karaoke and Nepali folk songs.
