    Golden Trout is one of the best homestays in Gnathang Valley. I’ve visited twice and every time felt warmly welcomed. The hosts are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their hospitality makes you feel at home in the mountains. You won’t regret choosing this place — they will cooperate with you in every way to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Thanks a lot

    Basic comfy rooms in beautiful location, along with good hospitality. Food was decent despite the remoteness of the site. Explore the picturesque sleepy valley on your own. You're bound to love the place but remember to gradually acclimatise yourself instead of directly halting at Gnathang valley.

    No doubt, this is the best stay at Gnathang Valley. Both location wise and service wise. It provides the best view of the valley as it is the toppest among all the homes in the valley. And the lady, owner, the one-woman army is always ready to serve keeping smile on her face. Dishes served by her are homely, delicious but pocket friendly.
