Hikers Inn Lukla

The Hikers Inn at Lukla is arguably the best lodge in Lukla, with large rooms and in-suite bathrooms. The food is great, the ambience very welcoming and the owners Lhakpa & Nima are wonderful hosts and two of the most resourceful, networked and helpful people you will get to meet at Lukla. Rely on them to get you out if the airport closes due to bad weather!

Nima at the Hikers Inn was amazing, when I arrived and also when I left Lukla. On arrival, she helped organise a amazing porter, rent a really good quality sleeping bag for the 3 passes trek. She also came to the airport with me help get a flight when they were all cancelled the previous day.

Situated in one of the prominent buildings on the Everest Base Camp trek, the Hikers Inn is a fusion of the hotels in the European Alps and the Nepalese lodging in the Himalayas. Extra clean rooms, fully functional (a rarety on the EBC trek) dual-flush toilet, solar energy hot shower, real bed (I had a king size) with real blankets and sheets. Excellent food; along with the classics of the EBC trek, numerous meat and salad offerings. The inn graciously provided good advice and help for the flight out of Lukla. Because of weather conditions, you can be more than one night in Lukla; the Hikers Inn is where you want to pass those days and nights!
