Hostel Guide - Himalayan Hotel, Pheriche, Base Camp Everest

The Himalayan Hotel 

     You wouldn't imagine such a well equipped guesthouse to be situated so far up on the base camp trek, but there is, and it's the exceptionally clean Himalayan Hotel, located in Pheriche. Not only is the guesthouse clean but it is also very attractive and the communal area is kept warm and cozy at night by an iron furnace, which is also ideal for drying socks. The food is enjoyable and the staff is welcoming and the Himalayan Guesthouse would have scored a whopping 5/5 if  only they would have turned off the Backstreet Boys greatest hits, which the staff played without fail on repeat--day and night.

Hostel Guide - Tengboche - Base Camp Everest Trek

Tengboche Guest House

     What the Tengboche Guesthouse lacks in appearance it makes up for in hospitality. You immediately feel welcomed and at home which is well needed after a long day's hike. Rooms are the standard $2.50 a night and are extremely basic, but the shared bathroom is kept nice and clean. If you want a hot shower you would have to part with another $4.

     The food served at the Tengboche Guesthouse is delicious, and the best I had on the whole trek. I personally recommend the Sherpa stew and chocolate pancake, yummy.

The Nest - Namche Bizarre 

A night's stay at The Nest will cost you $2.50, without a private bathroom, and showers are located outside the building and will cost you another $4. The rooms are a good size and seemed well kept and they offer internet and laundry services but prices are pretty high. The food was reasonably priced but more expensive than the lower towns. However, it was the atmosphere that made this hostel score low: the staff seldom smiled and it made you feel some what unwelcome.

Summit Home - Monjo

The room Rate was $2.50 (the standard rate) with shared bathroom, but hot showers were an extra $3each time you washed. The food was reasonable in price but lacked in flavor. We had two windows in our bedroom which kept it light, and we were provided with plenty of blankets to keep us warm at night. The rooms and bathroom were uncluttered, clean and tidy. The lodge offered a large dining area and had some reading material that you could borrow. I found the Great Gatsby which was a highlight of my stay.
