Mountain Lodges of Nepal - Lukla

Lukla

Excellent Lodge, definitely the nicest in Lukla. The grounds are beautiful, the room was very comfortable and the electric blankets greatly appreciated. The shower had unlimited hot water which isn't the case in all lodges in Lukla.  Most impressive was the service. Divya, the hostess, was amazing. From greeting us upon our arrival with hot tea, to escorting us to our room and then serving us rum pum at "happy hour" and later providing us with a delicious dinner, she was there to meet any need or question. She also brought hot tea to our room at 6am, and then served us a hot breakfast in the dining room. She is a true asset to the lodge and made our stay memorable.

Great Lodge

Good location for an early flight out of Lukla.  Attractive laid out gardens with fine stone Lions on the approach steps. Great service by the staff. Welcomed with warm towels and black tea. Good Rum punch with Pop Corn in Happy Hour in the lovely highly decorated (including ceiling) warm lounge with traditional wood burner stove. Veey tasty supper and packed breakfast ( due to v early departure for flight (5am)). Had attractive bedroom over Reception with surpringly very modern fully working hot shower/ enclosure. The electicity for the electric blanket was not available unitially due to Inverter issues  but all came good before long. Recommend stay for recovery after your trek. Close to main high street for shops and cafes.

Great place to stay close to Lukla Airport

This is a review for yeti mountain home in manjo and namche bazaar.  We stayed at each stop for one night.  While we were very cold and only basic heating amenities are provided, the staff was accommodating and helped us the best way they could. I heard this this the best hotel in both places…due to altitude logistics.  If our family treks again here, it would be in September and not December.

Ok places but cold

We stayed at YMH Lukla on the last night of our 13 day trek from Lukla to Gokyo and back. YMH Lukla is an older property but it is very clean, well-maintained and seems to be the most ornately decorated of the group.  Like all the YMH properties, they have a nice Happy Hour, excellent meals and staff who are willing to please.  Fpod here seems to be a slight cut above the other YMH's, perhaps because they are near the airport.  Plentiful hot water for the shower was welcome after 12 days on the trail.  The lodge sits right at the trailhead going to Namche and is about a 10 minute walk to Lukla airport.
We arranged this trip through Geographic Expeditions out of San Francisco and they worked with Kathmandu Travel to make all local arrangements. A special shoutout to our guide, Tanzing Sherpa who, at age 33, is knowledgeable, seasoned and steady. He seems to know everyone in the Khumbu, gave great advice on making some changes to the itinerary when he saw our capabilities, and was a real cheerleader when bad colds slowed us down towards the end of our 13 day trek. If you plan a custom hike in the Everest region I recommend that you seek him out through YMH or Kathmandu Travel.

Great place to end your trek

Generally the welcome, staff and food was very good but you pay for a Yeti Mountain location to get a hot shower and have a better maintained en suite room than the other team houses. The lack of hot water was painful after a 22km hike from Namche. The service and food were very good and the electric blanket welcome after a tough 2 weeks but you pay for the full package and I didn’t want to know that the solar water heating was problematic! 

No hot water and a broken window in room

Room: We had a king-sized bed with a garden view. The room was large and had a nice desk and working outlets. We had a private flush toilet (& toilet paper!), a working sink, and a hot shower. The showers are solar powered so aren't available until later in the afternoon. Shampoo and soap is even provided. The bed had an electric blanket and was so comfy after the EBC Trek. 

Food & Dining room: We were two of three guests in the lodge, so had particularly great service. There was a happy hour with snacks and tea and dinner had three courses. They were accommodating to all dietary restrictions (we don't eat meat, and the chef made us something special). The food is downright delicious and the dining room is super warm as you're seated right next to the stove. Unlimited tea & hot water. 

Location: It's a couple streets farther away than some of the other guesthouses, but that's because the grounds are their own oasis away from the noise of Lukla. It only took about 5 min. to get back into the heart of Lukla, so you're not missing out.

Other: Wifi was good in the common areas, if that matters to you.

Luxury in Lukla - hot shower, flush toilet, great food, awesome beds.

My husband and I stayed in Yeti Mountain Homes in Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Thames and Kondge as part of a trek booked directly with Yeti Mountain Homes. We had a wonderful experience, exceeding our expections. We were so well taken care of from the moment we were picked up at Kathmandu Airport to the moment we were dropped back at the airport twelve days later. I highly recommend booking directly with Yeti Mountain Homes. Their treks are not the cheapest way to experience the Himalayas but they are certainly worth it. Our guide Cami was also superb. The experience of a lifetime!

Yeti Mountain Home Everest View Trek

Nice reception, attentive staff, a bit of a chilly atmosphere given the small number of guests present, the dining room is beautiful, the rest is just fine, the power cuts are important while we're passing.

A good establishment

We made a booking at Yeti Mountain Home for a private trek and stayed at their lodges in Phakding, Monjo, Namche and Thame. Pasang Sherpa from Yeti took care of everything commencing at the moment we arrived at KTM airport. Yeti provided us some basic gears such as duffle bags and poles, and their lodges all equipped with nice hot shower and electric blanket. They also have filtered water and served only boiled hot water, It took away our burden to pack for our bags, poles, sleeping bags and even water purifying tabs and filtration system (I brought all those with me last I did the three passes with ordinary tea houses). Our trekking guide, Lhakpa Sherpa greeted us in KTM and flew with us to Lukla. It is very helpful to have your local guide to take care our check-in luggages and make sure we get on the flight. Nevertheless, Pasang stayed in touch with us along our journey whilst Lhakpa was a solid trekking guide and made sure we got the best out of our trip. He could go on and on about mountain stories, Tibetan culture and suddenly stopped us for sighting mountain goats, musk deers and danphes scattered 50m away from us. Thanks to him, he bought some fresh vegetables from the farmer along the trek and we could taste the mountain green. There was a lot of fun with Lhakpa,

Yeti lodges are cosy and well staffed by young and passionate local people. All lodges are well supported with hydro-electiricty or solar power. We did have an outage for one of the night (out of ten). It happened in Phakding which is totally understandable as the valley might not be benefited by the sun in the mist. We stayed at Phakding for two nights (on the way to Monjo and back from Namche). The night we got back, teh power was back and we enjoyed strong and hot shower as good as home. Nevertheless the night we had an outage, we were given a plastic water bag to keep our bed warm. There is a helicopter landing spot.

Yeti Monjo is probably the most beautiful lodge of Yeti (except for Kongde where we did not manage to visit). It has an open view of Mt Thamserku and the garden is beautiful. They have a cosy lounge where we sat by the fire and served with tea and fresh popcorns. There is a green house where they grow very nice organic tomato.

Yeti Namche is nicely located at the top of the valley. We have a magnificent panorama view of the entire valley and the surrounding mountains. They have a lounge where we got to see most other guests and their guides. It is almost like an expedition experience at a base camp. Food is awesome and they changed the menu everyday and even surprised us with hot pots one of the nights. We checked in and out of Yeti Namche three times and each time we checked in after a long trek. It really felt like home. Most guests stayed before and after their trek to EBC and for acclimatisation day.

Yeti Thame is about 5 hours away from Namche. The lodge and the village offered us the peace of mind and the quietness which could be a luxury along the EBC trek. We played ping pong with the staffs. The only disadvantage is the WIFI (which works in all the lodges except in Thame as the signal to the valley is constantly obstructed by the mountain.

We found it not only comfortable to stay with Yeti. We also had confidence with their food and water. If we need to second guess about the hygiene and were fearful about getting diarrhoea, it would easily ruin our trek They hire young and passionate people form the village (we met some Rai people) and it is good they provide not only jobs but training to these young people who would have alternatives besides inheriting their family farms or becoming a porter.

Yeti Mountain Home, tara Airline and Thamserku are all related sister business, And hence, we might have been benefited with the priority given and resources shared among their various business arms. Passing Sherpa is definitely the expert to organise any trekking trips in groups or customised form. We gave them a 5 star as what they tried to achieve could be easy in an established city at sea level but probably ten times harder up in the mountain where there is no road and vehicles. We do look forward to coming back this Mountain Home in future.

I missed this Home in the Mountain

The hotel is clearly superior to the rest of the region in terms of comfort. Obviously, it's not a five-star hotel, but it's still an excellent option on the trail, since the other hotels you find along the way tend to be pretty bad.
