    “Best Hostel in Pokhara”

    Amazing Stay at Pokhara Backpacker Hostel! I recently stayed at Pokhara Backpacker Hostel in Pokhara, and it was an incredible experience! The location was perfect—just a short walk from Lakeside, with stunning views of the mountains and Phewa Lake. The staff were extremely welcoming and always ready to assist with any requests, from booking tours to recommending the best local spots. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the amenities a traveler could need. The common areas were cozy and vibrant, creating the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow travelers. The hostel also offered great value for money, with affordable rates and delicious meals available on-site. If you’re looking for a warm, social, and relaxing place to stay in Pokhara, I can’t recommend Pokhara Backpacker Hostel enough. I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit!

    “Social Place for Solo Travellers ”

    Great place for a solo traveler, clean, great staff and easy to walk/taxi to places. Made a few friends in the shared dorm - spent the entire time with them! Great breakfast and living area as well 😊

    “Brilliant!”

    Very clean, very friendly, super staff and a good atmosphere - a good vibe without being too noisy and great sized beds in the dorms, not skinny singles! The breakfast is very good and included in the price which makes it very cost effective and great value for Pokhara! There is plenty of space and good wifi for digital nomads, of whom there were a number during my stay. The hostel also has its own travel agency with reasonable prices for all manner of tours, excursions, bike hire and paragliding too. We had an impromptu karaoke night which was a blast. A great stay and I will be back, possibly for longer! Thank you.

    “Very Good Facilities, Helpful Staff, Great Atmosphere at a Good Price”

    The location is good and the staff was very helpful and took time to explain the details of some local needs. Facilities were clean and modern and provided individual electrical outlet and light. Very accommodating in all respects at a very reasonable price. And with individually cooked breakfast included. All around among the best hostels I have seen.
