The Sparkling Turtle Backpackers Hostel - Katmandu
Evening bells shimmer over courtyards where butter lamps drift like stars, and Kathmandu’s carved windows breathe stories into the dusk-filled lanes of Patan and Bhaktapur. Pokhara opens like a mirror, Phewa catching paragliders as they embroider thermals above the Peace Pagoda, while boats write silver sentences across the lake. Trails unwind to rhododendron light—Mardi and Poon Hill at dawn, teahouses warm with steam and chatter, the clink of cups mapping the Annapurna horizon. Book in Nepal!
