The best youth hostels Pokhara

A cute little guest house that serves as an anchor for many Pokhara backpackers, as it offers private rooms that are surprisingly inexpensive for their charm. They are decorated with tastefully chosen bedspreads, paintings and local furniture. Clean, double, twin or family rooms, some have en-suite bathrooms and balconies. The decor is meticulous, the floors warm and the restaurant with its tree-lined terrace pleasant. The kindness of the staff is obvious. As a bonus, this inn is located in Lake Side.

The best hostel in Pokhara, located in Lakeside and facing the lake. We love its international cosmopolitan atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness. The dormitories are well-designed, with beds isolated in curtained cabins and equipped with lamp, socket and locker (though lacking air-conditioning). Rooms have attractive panelling on the walls and private bathrooms. Cosy terrace overlooking the lake (as do some balcony rooms).
