Family hotels and homes in Kusma

I've been travelling for almost a year and staying with Kabi's family in their home is one of the loveliest, most memorable experiences I've had. The family are so welcoming and invited me and the other guests to get involved in as many of their daily activities as we wanted, including collecting leaves in the forest for their animals, helping to cook the absolutely delicious food they made for us every day, making yoghurt, and milking the buffalo. They took us on tours of the village where we learned so much about the local culture, and on a couple of short hikes to a waterfall and a swimming spot in the river. In our downtime we could play cards with the family, or just relax and enjoy the view of the valley and (if the weather is good!) the annapurna range. There's also a yoga centre nearby with classes every morning. If you want to experience a slice of authentic Nepali village life just book here, you won't regret it!

it had such great staff and beautiful views

Club ES earned my exceptional rating during my 6-day Nepal tour, standing out as the best place I stayed. Nestled in the remote village of Kaskikot, a one hour drive from the bustling Pokhara city (They also provide Pickup & Drop Service), this small resort, managed by the only Sherpa family in the area, provided an unforgettable one-night and two-day experience. The owner, a seasoned mountain guide who has summited Everest and Annapurna I, adds a unique touch. While our expectations for facilities were modest, we were pleasantly surprised to find almost all essentials, including hot showers, an electric kettle, soap, room heater, and complimentary tea and coffee. The cozy rooms, situated in Tibetan-style huts, offer a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayas. Having trekked in the region before, I can vouch for the uniqueness of this vista. What sets Club ES apart is its authenticity; the family operates the resort entirely by themselves, creating a homely atmosphere. The absence of outside staff enhances the genuine experience. Even their pet dog, Pappu, contributes to the welcoming ambiance. The fresh, garden-sourced vegetarian meals surpassed our expectations. While there's no TV in the rooms & trust me you don't need a TV, well-built hiking routes from the resort provide great options for early-morning hikes.

I had the pleasure of staying at Annapurna Eco Village during my recent travels to Nepal and I must say, it was a delightful experience! Nestled in the heart of the mountais this family-owned hotel is a testament to the region rich culture and heritage. The staff at the hotel were extremely welcoming and hospitable, making me feel right at home from the moment I stepped inside. They were always on hand to offer suggestions for places to visit. One of the standout features of this hotel was undoubtedly the food - it was simply amazing! Every meal was freshly prepared with locally sourced ingredients and bursting with flavor. Whether it was the hearty breakfasts or the delicious dinners, I always looked forward to mealtime. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, with all the necessary amenities that made my stay more enjoyable. The communal areas were also great, providing the perfect opportunities to meet and connect with other travelers from around the world. In summary, if you're looking for a hotel that offers the perfect blend of excellent hospitality, homemade food, and a genuine family atmosphere, then the Eco Village is definitely the place for you. I highly recommend it!

wonderful location wonderful staff, who made our stay comfortable and the food was great. wonderful host, drove us to a traditional village for a local experience where we tasted some authentic local cuisine and wine.

It was the best stay we've had in Nepal. The owner and his wife were among the best people we've met in our lives. The room was clean and spacious, and the view was stunning in the room as well as on the balcony, no hidden fees whatsoever. His wife even gifted my girlfriend a three-piece traditional costume, hair deco, and bracelet, and did full make-up and hair styling for her! The owner also gave us a very professional photography session for free! It was definitely a beautiful and unforgettable experience in our life, thank you!
