Dawn view lodge

The hotel is newly built, small, and exclusive, with only three rooms. It is exceptionally neat and clean, located right at the top of Sarangkot. The rooms have a minimal, modern design. What I loved most was the simplicity, just a bed and no unnecessary furniture, making the room feel spacious, peaceful, and clutter-free. You can enjoy breathtaking mountain views right from your bed, and watching hundreds of paragliders flying across the sky is an incredible experience. The Sarangkot Sunrise Viewpoint is just a two minute uphill walk from the hotel, making it a perfect location to witness the sunrise. Honestly, this hotel made my Nepal trip truly unforgettable. I had one of the best days of my entire trip here, and I would absolutely love to come back! There was only one staff and he was super nice and humble. Also, I recommend not going there with luggage. You have to hike many stairs to reach the place, so it would be very tough with luggage.

Since this is a small accommodation rather than a traditional hotel, don't expect the same level of professionalism or organization as you would at a standard hotel. One thing I didn't appreciate was the breakfast policy. Breakfast was included in the room price, but I was told it was complimentary for only one person, and I had to pay an additional NPR 500 for my partner, even though we had booked a double room for two people. I also received a message from the hotel a day before my stay asking me to pay 50% in advance, which I wasn't particularly happy about. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience was absolutely amazing. The location, views, and atmosphere made up for everything. I'm still giving this stay a solid 10/10!
