Everest Summit Lodge - Tashinga — Hotel in Khumbupasanglahmu

This hotel is perched on a side of a mountain with breathtaking views of the valley and other towering mountains. It would be difficult to beat these views as well as the great hosts.||The hotel is beautiful and well layed out for the views. The room are the only ones that had a heater as well as electric blankets. Clean, very quiet and twin beds are comfortable. Nice ensuite. ||The food for our 2 night stay was excellent. The gardens are nice and the close by hills are home to the very colourful pheasants. We enjoyed our stay and hikes to Thame and Tengboche Monastery with our excellent guide, Purna which was all organised by our chosen tour company Above Himalaya. Free WiFi but sometimes the signal was not the best which is not the fault...

Seams like a fraud (or a bad movie) !!! After booking a double room with an en-suite shower as we were on our way back to Namche Bazar. we couldn’t find any way to the hotel. We asked the locals who told us to go through the woods. We did! Unfortunately couldn’t find the place. Called the manger and he was guiding our way to the lodge through sandy fields. We needed to climb stone walls to get there! The most difficult thing to do! When we finally got there, the place was dark and cold. They said that hot water would be available for only one hour a day!!! The bathroom was dirty!!! Nevertheless the price was shocking for that kind of a bad looking place & services....

We were at our way back to Namche and decided to stay a night as it was getting dark. We called the number and asked for a room for two people. They said it would be available. But after a walk through the woods in the dark (there seems to be no “real” way to get to the lodge) it was closed. The locals called the number and seemed to have the key to the lodge. But then it was told us that the price is 250$ per night. That seemed way to much for a closed lodge with nobody in it some where in the woods. So we gave the locals 1000 rupees to bring us back to the path where we could walk to the next lodges...
