  Fantastisch!

  So nice people, so good service and a lot of free services for us, we were there 2 nights !

  The weather was rainy and cold, all doors in the eating place were always open, not may warm places to eat - but this seems usual in Nepal.

  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.

  The bed is a tad firm.

  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!

  It would have been very helpful if the hotel had provided some more information beforehand regarding how to reach the property. Traveling solo, I found the option of a private car that was offered a bit too pricey on my own, so I opted for taking a bus instead. A travel agency in Kathmandu helped me book a ticket for the bus, but told me there was only one daily bus at 7:15AM. Although the distance is only 50km, it took 5,5 hours, as the bus stopped at one point waiting for people to come and fill the bus. The hotel manager told me on arrival there were more (and faster) busses between Nuwakot and Kathmandu, which I took on my return to Kathmandu (which indeed was faster and more comfortable).

  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 !!
