As many before have described, the view from Mr. Pandey’s hotel lodge is spectacular. Perhaps one of the best views we have ever seen from our room from our travels in over 40 countries. Many places can aspire to capitalize on such a view but what sets this one hotel apart is also the hospitality. Mr. Pandey greeted us personally upon arrival and checked in with us to ensure we had hot water (which we did), plenty of bedding (which is important in this cool climate), great food (the potato parathas delivered with our chai were delicious) and ensured that when our plans changed and we were headed to a homestay for a night, our driver was taken care of at the hotel. He also extended our morning stay a bit beyond checkout time so we could gaze in wonder at the Himalayas captured in the picture below. We wholeheartedly recommend this lodging.
