The owner and his family are exceptionally kind, we had a great time talking in their cosy living room/restaurant and he helped us in full detail with all our hiking and transportation questions. In the middle of the night he even brought us to the bus stop. The food is also really good, the yak burger and curry were delicious. The room was very nice, great beds and hot shower. You can also do your laundry and hang out with the cute cats in the garden. Amazing place!!!!
