    Great Place to Stay
    Kathmandu has a number of different areas and I would suggest you consider carefully where you want to stay and I will tell you what a few of them have to offer For Families and business Lalitpur is a relatively upmarket area quite new and mostly has pavements for American readers , sidewalks For people interested in the spiritual side of things Boudha with the Stupa etc is a lovely location. For lovely views staying around Swayambhanath ( Monkey Temple ) gives you a chance of seeing some mountains I though like most people chose Thamel because of the buzz it has the bars , the trekking shops , the restaurants . It’s busy but it’s still safe and well worth it in my mind.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I recently had the opportunity to rent a Hiace van with friends to explore Nepal. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Hiace rental services to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable way to travel around the country.
