Bhattis, mountain lodges or local inns, have existed in Nepal for centuries. Most are family-run with private rooms for guests, and some offer private bathrooms. The sparsely decorated rooms are comfortable enough, and some lodges have solar-powered lights, so it's "lights out" soon after dinner. Breakfasts and dinners are served in the dining room — wear warm clothing to meals.
