Hotel Parada Inn  

In the heart of Thamel — downtown Kathmandu, Parada Inn is a budget-friendly hotel and longtime trekkers’ basecamp since 1987. It’s about 6 km from Tribhuvan International Airport and within easy reach of Narayanhiti Palace Museum, the Nepal Tourism Board and Alpine Ramble Treks.

Twenty-eight no-frills rooms offer basics like a shower, mini-bar and slippers, with features varying by room category. The vibe leans trekker-friendly and practical — quiet corners for maps and gear, and a travel desk to plan your next route.

Free Wi‑Fi on site, parking, a library, a travel/tour desk for booking excursions, elevator access, laundry, an ATM, press services, a safe‑deposit box and a concierge — all the practical bits you need. Wake up to Kathmandu’s buzz and head straight out for a day of exploring.

Free on‑site Wi‑Fi and quick airport access make the hotel convenient for business travelers on the move.

An on-site restaurant has an excellent reputation with guests and serves hearty meals popular with trekkers and expedition groups.
