Namaste! I absolutely loved this lodge! An incredibly beautiful place with attentive, friendly owners! The menu features delicious, healthy, organic food. Peace and quiet!!! It’s conveniently located near popular spiritual sites: Asura Cave, the Kali Temple, and other temples! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!! I wish you prosperity and all the best!

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days at this beautiful place and were very warmly welcomed by Simon and Mina. The location is surrounded by greenery and wonderfully peaceful. The room was spacious and clean, and it was lovely to sit outside on the veranda chairs and relax. Mina has a beautiful garden with fresh vegetables and cooked delicious meals for us using fresh ingredients. Simon suggested a lovely walk nearby, which we did, and it took us past many beautiful highlights of Pharping. All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay here and would love to return, possibly for a longer stay. Thank you so much, Mina, Simon, and the girls!

Highly recommended! I really enjoyed the peace and quiet and nature. The owners, Mina and Simon, are very friendly and helpful. The kitchen uses fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices from the garden, and the food tastes great. The area is great for hiking, there are several cultural attractions, and there are also rock climbing spots nearby. A great option for anyone who wants to treat themselves to a few days off near Kathmandu.

Gorgeous location! Great hosts. Yummy food.

Simon, Mina, the room, the view, the location, the walks, the caves, the smiles, the flowers, the food, the air, the fireflies...and above all the conversations.

Simon and Mina were the perfect hosts, they were very welcoming and they, along with their family, really went of their way to make the stay amazing. The rooms were comfy and clean and the food they made was delicious. The location is also amazing, nestled in the hillside of the village of Dollu, it gave a good sense of village living with some beautiful scenery. We did the Champa Devi Hike which Simon gave us great tips for. Rocky their dog was an added bonus!

“It was a welcome refuge from busy Katmandhu where I had been previously.”

I really liked the location - at the end of a steeply wooded valley in the heart of Nepalese rural life. I also enjoyed the excellent hospitality of the owners -Mina and Simon who went out of their way to make me feel at home and comfortable. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was very relaxed and homely.

We loved this place because the hosts are such lovely people, the food is good and rooms clean. The setting is out of the way, a bit of an uphill climb but the views are stunning.

“Great location with views of nature but close to Kathmandu”

Great secluded location so near Kathmandu

“Great retreat from city”

Beautiful setting, very simple cottage accommodation. The owners are really lovely and gentle people.

“Beautiful place - very comfortable room and incredible views, extremely warm and friendly hosts and delicious food!! Wou”

We really enjoyed our stay at Solid Rock - beautiful room, incredible views, delicious food (dinner on arrival was amazing! tasted so good!), and such welcoming friendly hosts. We were especially grateful for Simon’s suggestion of a walk down to Pharping through the mountains and prayer flags - so beautiful! Would definitely visit again if we are in the area in the future!

The unique location of the hotel, incredible views around, mountains, lots of greenery and Buddhist monasteries are very close to the hotel. And a very cute dog Rokki, who accompanied us on walks :)
