Hile
Hile is a hill town located in the Eastern Development Region of Nepal, 13 km north of the regional center of Dhankuta.
The shops and restaurants primarily serve the local economy. Hile Bazaar is one of the largest in the area, attracting locals from villages in the surrounding hills. The only businesses that specifically target tourists are the lodges.
Transportation
Hile lies on the Koshi Highway between the major city of Dharan in the Terai lowlands to the south and Makalu Barun National Park to the north. North of Dharan, Koshi Highway is a slow mountain road.
The town can be accessed by local buses or microbuses from Dharan. It can also be accessed by hired Jeep.
Accommodation
There are several hotels and lodges.
About 5 minutes drive north of Hile a 5-star hotel called Horizon Mountain Resort is being constructed with an estimated completion of mid-2015. When complete the hotel will have a helipad enabling direct access from Kathmandu by helicopter.
