“Must stay in Nuwakot.”
A fabulous place that is well run with a great kitchen. More importantly, the Famous Farm is well connected into, and benefits the local community. The manager took us for a walk around the local area, which was delightful. Highly recommend.

“A little paradise”
This hotel is a little paradise. The buildings and surrounding gardens are so beautiful and I really enjoyed spending hours in a comfy chair in the garden just reading and enjoying the views. After a physically challenging trek in the mountains, this was the perfect place to unwind. The staff is very attentive and kind, and I felt very well taken care of, as they were regularly checking in with me to see if I needed anything. The food was absolutely delicious. The room was also spacious and very comfortable, especially the bed. And the views from the room were simply incredible. 10/10 recommend staying here!

“Last night I dreamt I was at THE FAMOUS FARM …”
THE FAMOUS FARM, NUWAKOT, NEPAL Always and Forever, THE FAMOUS FARM will hold a special place in my heart. Highly praised by THE LONELY PLANET, and loudly applauded by Guests who have enjoyed its Shangri-La serenity and beauty, I am privileged to add my voice to THE FAMOUS FARM’s chorus of admirers. First mention must go to HOST AND MANAGER, RAMESH SOLTEE. Ramesh dovetails expertise and professionalism with kind and caring hospitality. The “mothership”, RURAL HERITAGE, is a super-stylish big brand, but through THE FAMOUS FARM it offers tradition, authenticity, intimacy and simplicity. I used the hotel’s own transport and I wholeheartedly recommend this. I was travelling from Kathmandu and the journey is long and the roads are atrocious but thankfully BIDUR ARYAL was a fantastic, calm and careful driver. On arrival Ramesh gave me a choice of rooms. I love it when that happens. I chose a spacious room with a jaw-dropping panoramic view from its splendid, private balcony. Dining day and night at THE FAMOUS FARM in the verdant gardens, the courtyard or on the veranda is pure delight. The food is delicious, the service attentive and the Bar is always open! Ramesh ensures Guests have a truly authentic experience taking them on breathtaking treks engaging with friendly locals and their goats, roosters and dogs - which brings me to Obama. The only upsetting part of my stay was when it was over and I had to say goodbye to Obama, Ramesh’s big, beautiful, black sleepy dog. As I write this Review I’m not even half way through my magical Nepal Odyssey but without doubt, THE FAMOUS FARM is and always will be a peak experience in every sense. Just book it !!

“Breathtaking ambience, guest orientation can be improved in places”
The hotel or resort is, without question, housed in one of the most beautiful building complexes I've ever seen in Nepal. Every stone, every room, and every decoration exudes a proud and wonderful history. My nepali friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the soothing tranquility, the green surroundings, and the proximity to the Nuwakot Durbar. Our room was, as expected, clean and extremely tastefully decorated. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, and the beds were comfortable. The large bathroom was another plus. The ambiance is harmonious in every detail (even the lighting in the dark). The breakfast is absolutely delicious and varied. There are many alternatives, hidden corners where you can dine and relax. We stayed in the surrounding villages from morning until late at night and explored the area extensively. There are many hikes you can take.

My stay at the Famous farm was truly special. The house itself is beautiful, thoughtfully restored to preserve its historic charm. The staff are very kind and helpful and the food very fresh and delicious. I spent my mornings helping out at a local school and that is going to stay with me as the most wonderful memory. Very special thanks to Ramesh, who coordinated my visits to the school and made sure everything runs very smoothly, indeed.

“Authentic, romantic and charming stay”
This is an exceptionally romantic stay in a filmic location: a lot of care and thought went into renovating these historic buildings into a truly charming stay. Another big plus is the super kind and friendly staff. They are very client oriented: for example in making transportation arrangements or by not charging a meal that due to circumstances couldn’t be taken.

“Highly recommended for a perfect relaxing break”
Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The property has lots of old charm and the rooms are lovely with incredible views over the hills. Food was delicious and the staff were all friendly. We stayed for 2 nights after our Langtang valley trek and it was the perfect place to relax.

“Amazing”
We absolutely loved our stay at the Famous Farm. The charm of the place is just undescribable. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed delicious food al fresco. Also we were accompanied on a walk up the hill and through the Village, which was amazing as we got to meet a lot of friendly people and saw beautiful things like the restoration of an old temple.

Everything !! The Famous farm is one of the best travel secrets in Nepal. If your looking for a recovery spot after a trek or just time away . We stayed 3 nights and it was worth it. The staff sure do know how to make your stay very special. From the paddock to the plate , the chef sure does know how to cook. Nepali - anything you like . The village just down the road along with the people will remain in my heart for the rest of my life 💕

“Very memorable and charming stay.”
Delightful, comfy place with an amazing view. If you’re looking into staying there, you know the area (very off the beaten path, so don’t expect a supermarket or atm nearby). The staff were wonderful, and the food tasty and very reasonable, given the setting. Loved it.
