Shangri-La Hotel

Kathmandu, Nepal

Set within a beautiful garden, this well-regarded hotel is renowned for its friendly staff and for having two of the better restaurants in town. It's located in a quiet enclave of Kathmandu, just a 15- to 20-minute walk or a quick tuk-tuk ride from the bustling bazaar of the Thamel district. After a busy day exploring the city, relax in the hotel’s peaceful garden, take a dip in the swimming pool, designed after a traditional Nepali royal bath, or have a drink around the fireplace at the hotel's cozy Lost Horizon bar. And after the trek, treat yourself to a relaxing massage!
