The short answer
Nepal offers luxury hotels, boutique and heritage hotels in restored Newar houses, budget hotels and guesthouses, hostels, resorts, eco-lodges near the jungle, riverside and lakeside lodges, homestays, glamping camps, mountain lodges and tea houses on trekking routes, and serviced apartments in the cities.
The right type depends on place and purpose. In cities choose by location and quiet; in the mountains, tea houses are the main option; near the jungle, lodges include activities. Check what is included before you compare prices.
