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.

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.
