TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best winners showcase the top hotels, restaurants, experiences, and destinations that users loved the most over the past year. The brand explains on its website that “fewer than 1% of TripAdvisor’s 8 million listings are awarded Best of the Best, which represents the highest level of excellence in travel.” And if you’re a discerning outdoor adventurer, TripAdvisor has some new “Best of the Best” spots you should check out.
After considering all reviews, TripAdvisor voted Kathmandu as Best of the Best in the Natural Attractions category.
“Nepal’s capital city is surrounded by valleys dotted with historical sites, ancient temples, shrines and charming villages,” the company said in a statement. “Interact with local people and animals amid the monuments of Durbar Square, join hikers in the bustling Thamel district and browse the shops for exquisite works by local artisans – carpets and paper prints are a specialty.”
If you want to unwind after a day of sightseeing, you can unwind at Fusion Bar at Dwarika’s Hotel, a favourite spot of A-list travel advisor Niall Causer of Travel + Leisure’s Audley Travel.
“The Indian subcontinent is full of amazing bars, and for me and many of my clients, the Fusion Bar at Dwarika’s Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal is one of my favorites,” Koser previously told T+L. “The hotel’s former curator’s cottage has been transformed into a fantastic chill-out venue serving world-class cocktails, craft beers, and Nepalese snacks like momos and meatballs. It’s the perfect place to lounge poolside on a hot day.” [relax] It’s the perfect place to share travel stories after a long flight or an exciting journey through the Himalayas.”
