In the guesthouse, travelers are provided a twin shared room with twin beds, mattresses, and pillows.

A hot shower facility is available in some guesthouses for a price but occasionally hot shower means a bucket of hot water that is enough to wash your body.

The 2-night hotel accommodation is included in our package but if you would like to find a hotel in Kathmandu then we will reduce the cost.
