“Everything about FlyingYak is awesome - the staff, the facilities, the atmosphere. It is one of the coolest places I stayed so far. Santosh - the owner of the hostel needs a special mention for his support in my trekking expedition. He is really good at the trekking services provided. I truly recommend - both for groups and solo travellers!!”

“The location is smack in the middle of thamel with all the best nightlife attractions right at your doorstep. Apart from that the staff was immensely helpful. We left a bag in a taxi, and when the taxi driver returned they coordinated to retrieve it.They also set up drop off to the airport and were very forthcoming with any info required.”

“The property is bang on in the center of Thamel. A perfect place for first time visitors! Heaps of shopping options around the place. Loads of Bars and cafes around. There are also a few clubs and dodgy dance bars if you would like to go. Shopping and casino is a few minutes away. The rooms are decent with all basic amenities, including The manager Santosh is a star. Really helpful. Helped us book taxi, tours, offered us free coffee! Good man. Thank you for the help, mate!”

“We were looking for a budget stay option at Thamel and stumbled across this gem. Located at the heart of Thamel with easy access to everything around. The owner, Mr Santosh, was extremely hospitable and took care of all our needs, managing our bus tickets and airport pickup drop and our travel plans to Pokhara. He constantly kept tabs to ensure we had a great time and assisted in everything we needed. The rooms are very clean and well decorated with proper amenities like hot water, shampoo, shower gel etc. Bed was soft and unimaginably comfortable, especially after a long day of traveling around. Bathroom was clean and hygienic. The restaurant adjacent to it had amazing food too. Had the best experience at Flying Yak, would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone. The hotel is absolutely value for money. Everyone at the hotel was super nice and helpful. Best wishes to Flying Yak.”

“The satff at Flying Yak Kathmandu provided more than point of service; they provided Positive Outreageous Service. The super friendly staff, and owners that I met made me feel at home as we shared cultures and experiences. Their willingness to help me understand Nepali culture better was awesome. This is "the Place" to stay when in Kathmandu. The Avocado Cafe next door provides excellent food at various prices. Please do not miss this opportunity: Come stay and enjoy!”

“Excellent Hotel in Thamel facilities are excellent value for the money, good shower and bathroom and the rooms are a good size. Good COVID preparedness. Then there is the hotel proprietor Santosh. For background I stayed here for the first time on my way to the mountains and just before the May/21 lockdowns. We were stranded in Lukkla for two days after domestic flights were officially shut down. Santosh had my back the entire time letting us know when official policy changed helping to negotiate pcr tests, and helicopter evacuation, plane tickets the works. Without his help I probably would have been stuck in Nepal for the lockdown. I don't think you can find a hotel that has your interests at heart as much as this one . Id give it ten Stars if I could and will never stay anywhere else.”

“The staffs are very friendly and helpful. I could get cheap tickets to Pokhara also for paragliding! All of the staffs were very nice and made my stay very comfortable. The food from the hotel is also good. It’s in a nice area, it’s quiet at night and you can easily walk around the town. Highly recommended!!!”

“We had a fantastic stay with Flying Yak and we’re headed back post trek which they helped set up for us at a great price. It’s such a beautiful hotel with a very kind, hard working staff, a solid breakfast and a great location. Beyond that, we were unsure about trekking and they helped us in the right direction. Definitely our go to spot for the future.”

“Great location, amazing rooms both the dorms and the private rooms are really clean, new, well decorated and homely with hot showers and air con, and wonderful wifi. Top notch Staff and Santosh , the owner, is an awesome guy, really helpful, friendly and fun to be around. 10 out of 10 !”

“Everything was perfect, best nights sleep I've had all year! :-)”
