Mountain Lodges of Nepal - Lukla

Stayed at MLN Lukla for one night at the end of the EBC Trek. The stay was good with comfortable rooms, good food and nice ambience. The Staff were very nice and provided good service to make stay very comfortable. This was especially good after the long EBC Trek. Thanks to the Staff at MLN Lukla for their good service!

Thanks to my excellent guide Sagrit, supplied by Mountain Lodges, for making my tour of the Kongde trail so memorable. He was companionable and intelligent and taught me much about Nepal. I stayed in Mountain Lodges all of which offer the best accomodation in the Everest region . Given the nature of the environment and the absence of roads the level of comfort provided is remarkable. But more importantly the hospitability of the staff made my stays a pleasure.

I had a nice warm stay here after a tiring trek from Namche. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and authentic. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Lukla.

It’s a *fine* hotel given it’s location, but it has no business being over $200. Maybe $100 at most. At this price point the breakfast should be superb (it’s not), service should be more dialed in, and a hot shower is a non negotiable. They rely on solar which means by 3pm the hot water is gone. They did bring me a hot bucket, which is fine, but truly at this price point they should not just rely on solar for just a large hotel. Expected much, much more from Mountain Lodges of Nepal. Definitely wont stay at any more.

I was climbing Mount Lhotse and had to return to Lukla for some rest as I fell ill. I stayed here for 4 nights in May 2024 and the experience was excellent. The manager Anil Tamang personally looked after my every need. The other staff Puja & Laxmi were extremely nice. The food was excellent and much different to what is generally served in the Khumbu. My ensuite room was perfect and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

We stayed here both at the beginning and the end of one of our most memorable holidays, ever!|Should you consider a Nepal trek, we cannot over-recommend booking your trip with Mountain Lodges Nepal. While trekking in Nepal is never just 'a walk in the park' - you better train a bit! - MLN organized our Himalayan trek with Swiss Alps precision and attention to details (on one trek, about 2 hours from our next lodge, they met us with hot tea and freshly baked cookies!). Granted ours was a luxury trip, with daily treks from one of their mountain lodges to another. They arranged porters for our holdalls and our group of 9 were joined by 3 of their guides. Friendly, Helpful, Experienced, Witty and Fun are just a few descriptions which jump to mind: they made our trek a live National Geographic experience: not unlike mr. Attenbourough they informed us about the locals, ethnicities, languages, wildlife, explained rituals, beliefs, introduced us to amazing lunches served in high altitude, sun-kissed backyards. They guided us to off-the-beaten track, above the very crowded Everest Highway while they humbly showed a rarely seen resilience after the devestating 2015 earthquake... They proudly elaborated on Sherpa culture and entertained us with countless stories. We learned MLN has been around the block since the 1990's but are now upping their game having teamed up with Jason Friedman Tailored Hospitality & Co: their lodges are being upgraded and are a far, far cry from backpackers nest that scattered around the Himalayas. Aged 55 we've been there and done those: we gladly admit we loved our soft (heated!) beds, we cherished hot tea after a long trek, we warmed us in their cosy lounges around the stove and enjoyed their dinners after visiting their organic farms...We decided to stay 4 days in Kathmandu after our 7 day hike and again were spoiled, thrilled and flabbergasted by their service and knowledge. We lead busy lives and were thrilled to find ourselves without worries, without hassle, enjoyed their heartfelt service during every second of our trip: we just had to focus on our next day, get our gear ready, our muscles warmed and let us be guided through Majestic Mountains, taking every sight and sound with every step of our big boots echoing our growing amazement as days flew past. A true trip of a lifetime...

Excellent Lodge, definitely the nicest in Lukla. The grounds are beautiful, the room was very comfortable and the electric blankets greatly appreciated. The shower had unlimited hot water which isn't the case in all lodges in Lukla. Most impressive was the service. Divya, the hostess, was amazing. From greeting us upon our arrival with hot tea, to escorting us to our room and then serving us rum pum at "happy hour" and later providing us with a delicious dinner, she was there to meet any need or question. She also brought hot tea to our room at 6am, and then served us a hot breakfast in the dining room. She is a true asset to the lodge and made our stay memorable.

Good location for an early flight out of Lukla. Attractive laid out gardens with fine stone Lions on the approach steps. Great service by the staff. Welcomed with warm towels and black tea. Good Rum punch with Pop Corn in Happy Hour in the lovely highly decorated (including ceiling) warm lounge with traditional wood burner stove. Veey tasty supper and packed breakfast ( due to v early departure for flight (5am)). Had attractive bedroom over Reception with surpringly very modern fully working hot shower/ enclosure. The electicity for the electric blanket was not available unitially due to Inverter issues but all came good before long. Recommend stay for recovery after your trek. Close to main high street for shops and cafes.
