Independent Phakding hotels

"In terms of a Teahouse, it was 5 star. Like a wonderful B&B in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful view of the glacial lake from the hotel. Service was top notch, the room was spotless and was so warm I didn’t need a sleeping bag(blanket provided was fine). The food was fantastic. I hesitate to even call it a teahouse, it’s so much more than that. The owner and staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for more!"

"the staff were great and helped me when i stayed there but also when they had no room to find another place"

"The sister and brother who run this lodge are amazingly gracious and extremely helpful. My room was clean and comfortable, had a great view as well. The food was all made from scratch and was delicious. I rarely write reviews, but having had a past lifetime in the industry I know when the effort is there and these two newcomers to the hospitality industry are right on track. "

"The property description on Expedia is incorrect. This tea house does not offer rooms with private bathrooms. Their nicest rooms offer an attached squat toilet with a bucket of water. There is no sink and no shower in the “private bathroom.” The advertised “hot shower” is a communal hot shower next to the dining room. The western toilet and sinks are also communal. The owners were unaware of our booking until calling back and forth with someone in Kathmandu. They’re nice people and the tea house is similar to others on the Gokyo Trek, but they should not be advertising it as a 3* hotel with private bathroom on Expedia."

"I had a lovely time at Mountain Lodges of Nepal- Lukla. The staff went out of their way to help me enjoy the area. I’d love to go back. "
