Lodging in Kathmandu
If you don’t mind staying outside Thamel, we like the The Museum Bed and Breakfast, they have very nice rooms for $30-40 USD. There is a cafe and a restaurant next door. Thamel is about 15 minutes walk away.
If you want to stay in Thamel and are on a budget, check out the ‘Yellow House’. Note that there are three ‘Yellow Houses’ in Kathmandu, this is the google map link to the one we recommend. They also have good Thai food. Rooms are maybe $15 a night.
