Shangri-la Guest House

Altogether an excellent tea house very comfortable, clean and with hot showers. A step up from the usual tea house but at a very reasonable Price. Nice touches, such as fresh towels, hand soap and en-suite bathroom with shower. Also very good fresh coffee

From the rooftop terrace, the views unfold like a breathtaking canvas—majestic mountains rising against the horizon, their peaks kissed by the sun, painting a picture of nature's grandeur. Here, the heart finds solace and the soul is rejuvenated. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, soaking in the natural beauty that envelops you. Whether you’re looking to relax after an adventurous day or explore the charming village, Shangri La Guest House is the perfect retreat for anyone seeking tranquility and adventure in the Himalayas.

As a seasoned mountain guide and travel manager, I've had the pleasure of staying at many lodges in the Everest region. However, the Shangri-la Guest House in Phakding stands out for its commitment to quality, comfort, and local hospitality. One of the highlights is the hotel's dedication to organic, homegrown produce. Their greenhouse provides fresh and flavorful vegetables like carrots, cabbage, potatoes, and tomatoes, which are incorporated into delicious dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Sherpa Stew, carrot and coriander soup, and the hearty dal bhat thali. For meat lovers, the chicken and buff steak, paired with homemade Tongba and Arak, is a must-try. Coffee connoisseurs will appreciate the freshly roasted and ground coffee, while those seeking refreshing beverages can indulge in the selection of fresh juices. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, offering options for shared or private bathrooms. The warm and welcoming atmosphere is a testament to the genuine hospitality of the local Sherpa family who own and operate the hotel. If you're planning a trek in the Everest region, I highly recommend the Shangri-la Guest House. It's a delightful oasis that offers a taste of authentic Himalayan hospitality and delicious, wholesome food.
