Unbelievable Kathmandu Views: Sagarmatha Apartment B&B Awaits! - A Review (with a Side of Chaos!)
Alright, folks, buckle up! Because I just got back from Kathmandu and, believe me, I'm still processing… especially after staying at Unbelievable Kathmandu Views: Sagarmatha Apartment B&B. And, well, "unbelievable" is putting it mildly. More like "mind-blowing" meets "slightly chaotic, but in the best possible way". Let's unpack this, shall we? Because this isn't just a hotel review; it's a vibe.
(Skip ahead to the end to book. Seriously, I'll make it easy.)
First Impressions & Getting There: Accessibility & "Nepali Time"
Okay, so first things first: getting to Sagarmatha. The good news? They offer airport transfer. Seriously, use it. Kathmandu traffic is a beautiful, terrifying, honking beast. The drive itself… well, let's just say you'll have plenty of time to soak in the scenery (and maybe question your life choices). And speaking of soaking in scenery… the views! That's the main reason to stay here. They’re truly, ridiculously, postcard-worthy.
Accessibility: I didn’t personally need specific accessibility features. (I'm still able-bodied… mostly!) But I did notice the elevator. That’s a huge plus for anyone with mobility issues, because Kathmandu's streets ARE NOT your friend. They also mention facilities for disabled guests, so that’s a big tick for inclusivity. Accessibility is key, especially in a city like Kathmandu where things aren't always built with ease of access in mind.
The Room – My Personal Fortress of Solitude (and Snacks)
My room? Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Seriously, one of those rooms you want to just…move into. It had everything: air conditioning (essential!), a comfy bed (a very extra long bed, which is a bonus for the taller among us), free Wi-Fi (important for staying connected… and posting those epic view pics!), a refrigerator (for stocking up on Everest Beer, obviously), a coffee/tea maker (for those pre-sunrise tea moments), a desk (for… maybe pretending to work?), bathrobes, and a safe. Now, I'm not a super cautious person, but the in-room safe box is a nice touch.
I am such a sucker for nice touches. And the views from the room are just chef's kiss. That’s what it’s all about. Waking up to the towering Himalayas? Yeah, not a bad way to start your day.
Cleanliness and Safety: Reassurance in a Pandemic World
Let's be honest; we're all a little hyper-aware of hygiene these days. Sagarmatha gets it. They're taking things seriously. I mean, Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. They even have hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff is obviously trained in safety protocol. Honestly, it's reassuring. They also offer room sanitization opt-out available, which is nice. I did notice the CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, which gives you a little extra peace of mind.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Fueling Your Nepali Adventure
Okay, let’s talk food. It’s not like I was expecting Michelin-starred cuisine, but for a B&B, the food options were surprisingly good. The Asian breakfast was a solid way to start the day. They also had a Western breakfast if you're feeling less adventurous (aka, need a taste of home). Coffee was good, I can't be objective on that, I can't start the day the same without it. The restaurants on the property serve a great variety of food.
The poolside bar is a must. Seriously. Picture this: you’ve spent the day exploring temples, dodging motorbikes, and inhaling the scent of incense and spices. What do you need? A cold drink, a comfy chair, and that view. The poolside bar delivers. Pure bliss.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Finding Your Inner Zen (or Avoiding It Altogether)
Sagarmatha gets bonus points for the swimming pool. After a long day of exploring, there's nothing better than a dip in the cool water, even if the pool with a view doesn't actually have the view due to the architecture. They also have a gym/fitness center. I attempted it once. Let's just say I appreciated the "effort" more than the results.
While they don't list a massage service, it's Kathmandu. You're bound to find a massage nearby somewhere. You can ask for a doctor/nurse on call.
Additional Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
They offer pretty much everything you could want. Daily housekeeping, a concierge, laundry service, dry cleaning, currency exchange, cash withdrawal. It's all there. They also have the obligatory gift shop (good for souvenirs, of course, or for that last-minute forgotten toothpaste).
The Minor Details & The Little Quirks
Okay, here’s where things get a bit… Nepali. The elevator is kinda slow. The Wi-Fi, while free, can be a little spotty, especially if a large group of people are all trying to post Instagram stories simultaneously. And sometimes, communication is… interesting. But hey, that's part of the charm of Nepal, right? It's not perfect, it's real, and it’s all part of the adventure!
The Verdict: This is Kathmandu!
Look, Sagarmatha isn't flawless. But it’s got a lot of heart. It's clean, the staff is friendly, the views are mind-blowing, and it's a great base for exploring Kathmandu. I give it two thumbs up!
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

Escape to Paradise: Your Golden Residency Awaits in Ramanathapuram, India
Okay, buckle up, Buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into a travel itinerary for Sagarmatha Apartment Bed & Breakfast in Kathmandu, Nepal… and it's gonna be a glorious, messy, honest, and probably ill-advised rollercoaster. Think less "polished brochure" and more "scribbled napkin after too much rakshi."
Subject: Kathmandu Chaos: A Saga of Momos, Mountain Views, and Maybe, Just Maybe, Enlightenment (Probably Not, Though)
The Premise: To stay at Sagarmatha Apartment B&B. Seems simple, right? Ha! Let’s see how it REALLY goes.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Momo Meltdown
- Time: 6:00 AM - AWFUL. Early. Like, the sun is still yawning early. My flight lands at Tribhuvan International Airport. I mean, the name sounds fancy, but let me tell you, the bathroom situation? Not fancy. More like…rustic industrial.
- Activity: Find my pre-booked taxi like a damn treasure hunter. Actually, the driver found ME. He held up a sign with my name. Felt weirdly important, even though I probably looked like a zombie who'd been up since…well, the ungodly hour I mentioned. The drive to Sagarmatha Apartment B&B is… an experience. The street are a chaotic dance of motorbikes, rickshaws, cows (yes, actual cows), and what can only be described as "Nepalese traffic flow" – think organized mayhem.
- Impression: Immediately smitten with the B&B. A tiny oasis amidst the craziness! The owner, this lovely woman named Sangita, greets me with genuine warmth and a mug of hot tea. The apartment? Basic, but clean and charming. Balcony with potential mountain views? Yes, please. (Spoiler alert: the haze is going to fight that view for a few days.)
- Afternoon: Lunch! Found a little hole-in-the-wall place down the street. Ordered momos (dumplings) and a local beer. The momos… oh, the MOMOS. They were the best things I've ever tasted, followed by the worst. On the first bite, pure bliss. Seconds later, the spice hit. I swear my tongue was on fire. Tears streamed down my face. I nearly choked. The beer? Gone in seconds. I felt alive, in agony, and utterly delighted.
- Recovery: Walked around Thamel, the touristy heart of Kathmandu. Bargained for a pashmina scarf, even though I probably overpaid. Impulse bought a singing bowl. Am I going to be a zen master by the end of this trip? Doubtful. Am I going to annoy my friends with endless singing bowl sessions? Almost certainly.
- Evening: Attempted to eat dinner. More momos (I learned from my mistake and got them mild this time). More beer. Listened to the cacophony of the city, a symphony of car horns, barking dogs, and the distant chanting wafting from a nearby temple. Fell asleep before 9 PM, utterly exhausted and totally in love.
Day 2: Monkey Business and Mountain Views (Or Lack Thereof)
- Morning: Woke up with a stuffy nose. Altitude sickness? Probably. Ordered breakfast on my balcony! The promised Mountain View? Fog. Thick, glorious fog. I could almost feel the Himalayas, even though I couldn't see them. That’s the magic of Kathmandu, I suppose.
- Mid-Morning: Visited Swayambhunath Stupa (the Monkey Temple). The views were supposed to be AMAZING. So, naturally, it rained. BUT… the monkeys!! They were everywhere! Stealing food, grooming each other, generally being sassy little primates. One particularly cheeky monkey stole a bag of popcorn from an unsuspecting tourist, then proceeded to eat it with impressive table manners.
- Afternoon: Walked around the Boudhanath Stupa, a gigantic, awe-inspiring stupa. The air was thick with the scent of incense. The sheer scale of the place was humbling. Watched the prayer flags fluttering in the wind. Felt…peaceful. Almost. Then a street hawker tried to sell me a yak wool hat. Peace, shattered. I gave in and bought the hat, it was cold.
- Evening: Tried to find a restaurant. Seriously, this city is a maze. Ended up in a tiny side street and stumbled upon a restaurant with a balcony overlooking the city. More momos! (I have a problem, I know.) More beer. Realized maybe my quest for enlightenment was going to take a back seat to my quest for the perfect dumpling. The night sky emerged, glittering with stars. Beautiful.
Day 3: Culture Shock and Temple Triumphs
- Morning: Visited Pashupatinath Temple, a Hindu temple. Witnessed a cremation ceremony. It was…intense. Raw. Very real. I felt incredibly privileged to be able to observe, though overwhelmed. It’s a stark reminder of life's impermanence.
- Afternoon: Explored Bhaktapur, a UNESCO World Heritage site. An ancient city with incredible architecture. The most amazing part was that I didn't have to fight through crowds! I was actually able to stroll and take photos!
- Evening: I ate yak. Yes, that's right, I ate yak. It was…interesting. Kind of gamy. Definitely an experience. Followed it with more beer. The food here is a rollercoaster of tastes!
- Evening: Went out for drinks with some locals. They showed me what Nepali night life is like, with its bright lights and loud music. Then back to the apartment for an early night.
Days 4-7: The Unwritten Chapter
- The plan - To chill. Enjoy the B&B. Get lost. Go on a short hike. Maybe even learn a few Nepali phrases.
- The Real Plan - Oh, who knows? Probably lots of momos, more temples, attempting to bargain (and probably failing miserably), enjoying the small amount of calm, and maybe a run-in with another cheeky monkey. There's a fair chance I'll fail at everything and just end up happy that someone made my bed.
- Departure: This is all a big maybe, but I will probably be flying out on the insert day here… either completely blissed out and enlightened, or slightly sunburnt, slightly hungover, and clutching a handful of pashmina scarves and a singing bowl. Time will tell.
- Disclaimer: This itinerary is subject to change based on whim, the weather, the availability of momos, and the general level of chaos inherent in traveling in Kathmandu. Expect the unexpected. Embrace the mess. And remember to pack your sense of humor – you're gonna need it!
And that, my friends, is the truth. It's a mess. It's awesome. It's probably not going to reflect reality. But it's my reality, and I'm sticking to it. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it. And if I don't make it back, send help… and more momos.
