Shivapuri Village Accommodation Options and Rates

Updated

Shivapuri Village (Shivapuri Village Eco Tourism and Conservation Farm Pvt. Ltd.) lists five bookable room types, from a Single Room at $45 per night to a Delux Double at $190 per night, with 13% VAT applicable on top of every rate. The retreat sits about 25 km north of Kathmandu at 1,999 meters (6,560 feet) and includes a dining hall, reception, clean bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and heaters. Rates below are as published on the site; confirm current pricing and availability directly before booking.

Room Types and Nightly Rates

Room Type Rate per Night VAT
Single Room $45 13% applicable
Double Room $80 13% applicable
Triple Room $110 13% applicable
Delux Single $110 13% applicable
Delux Double $190 13% applicable
On the Progress N/A 13% applicable

The "On the Progress" listing carries no rate, which suggests it is not yet open for booking. Treat it as unavailable until the property confirms otherwise.

What the VAT Means for Your Total

The 13% VAT is added to the room rate, not included in it. A Single Room at $45 comes to roughly $50.85 per night once VAT is applied; a Delux Double at $190 comes to about $214.70. Budget for the higher figure.

Facilities Included with a Stay

  • Clean bathrooms
  • 24-hour hot water
  • Heater in the room
  • Open space with a large heater for winter
  • Dining hall spacious enough for large groups
  • Reception area
  • Buildings and garden with mountain views

Meals draw on organic vegetables grown in the property's own garden.

Activities Available at Extra Cost

Each activity is listed at $58.00 as an extra charge:

  • Hiking — short walks around the village grounds; birds, pheasants, and occasionally wild boars and barking deer
  • Mountain biking — off-road routes, with Kakani to the west as a common starting point
  • Bird watching — species found around the village and in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park
  • Yoga and spirituality — yoga and meditation sessions
  • Camping — camping grounds with running water and waste disposal

A separate note on the site mentions bicycle hire at Shivapuri, useful if you would rather ride than walk.

Packages

Two packages are published:

1 Night / 2 Days — USD $90 per person

  • Plus 13% VAT
  • Plus USD $120 vehicle cost
  • Day 1: arrival, Nepali lunch, Tamang village tour, leisure time, continental dinner
  • Day 2: breakfast, departure

2 Nights / 3 Days — USD $180 per person

  • Plus 13% VAT

The vehicle cost of $120 is listed only against the one-night package, so confirm whether it applies to longer stays.

How to Choose

  • Solo traveler on a budget: Single Room at $45 plus VAT.
  • Couple: Double Room at $80 or Delux Double at $190 if you want the upgraded category.
  • Small group: Triple Room at $110 splits three ways.
  • Want activities included in planning: the 1 Night / 2 Days package bundles meals and a village tour, but add the $120 vehicle cost and VAT before comparing it to a room-only rate.
  • Just want to rest: the site explicitly notes that doing nothing is a valid option here.

Rates, package inclusions, and the status of the "On the Progress" room should be verified with the property before you commit, since published prices and availability can change.
