This is a great place to go if you are looking for peace and quiet away from town and crowds. I booked here because I needed a break after some hectic weeks of travel. It is about a 30 min drive to town/airport, and the road is a bit rough in places, I believe due to previous flooding damage which is being repaired. They have a van and it cost 1500 for a one way trip to town. The room and grounds are beautiful. The staff is very attentive. They even noticed when I hadn’t come to dinner or breakfast and called to see if I would be eating. The pool has an unparalleled view of the mountains. The pool chairs could have better cushions, as the bars from the chair dig in uncomfortably. The breakfast buffet is great. The lunch and dinner menu is varied, but I was surprised at the price. It is close to U.S. prices for food, so be aware of that. Even the local beer and spirits are more than I expected. I had planned to use the spa, but I also felt those prices were a bit high for Nepal: about 10,000 or 15,000 higher than a nice salon in Pokhara. If the prices were a bit lower for food and spa, just would give 5 stars.
