a week agoOn 1st Oct 2025 I was stayed in this homestay. I loved the hospitality. Really it was amazing 👏. Atmosphere, cleanness, room quality, all are upto the mark. Food quality is also very very good. During my silk rout tour I was stayed in four different homestay in different places, this homestay is number one. If I shall give the marks, Gelk las homestay will get 100 out of 100 marks. If in future I shall visit Silkrout, I shall definitely will stay in this homestay. I also will recomend to my near and dears.

a year agoI've visited this place twice. Highly recommended. Best place to stay in Phadamchen in a homely environment. You will experience the true meaning of 'home'stay. Best home-cooked food I've tasted here. I will never forget the Family of Phu Lhamu Ji who all are very very welcoming and warm in the hospitality.

4 years agoservice is not good at all. there is no feeling of home. the location is not the best in Phadamchen and there is no view of nature as they claim. food is about average and they charge for almost everything. the Homestay is about 30 meter below the road and they don't have anyone to carry the luggage as well so I had to take care of the same. only good part was the bonfire they made after evening. though it was overpriced but we enjoyed as there was nothing else to do. I'll not recommend this place at all unless you get it real cheap.
