Reviews
During the New Year's Gala, the buffet offered authentic mountain flavors, attracting local dignitaries. The aroma of food and chanting accompanied the meal, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
However, please remember that water resources in Nepal are limited; use mineral water for rinsing your teeth for protection and health.
Every Sunday and Tuesday morning from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM, they offer a tour to the Pashupatinath Temple, and the manager's commentary is really engaging! It's definitely worth getting up early for!
The only minor improvements I'd suggest are that after a certain time in the afternoon, full room cleaning is no longer provided, only a turndown service. Tissues weren't refilled, and used tea cups were simply put back in place without being cleaned. Also, there are no charging ports on either side of the beds, which is a small oversight.
