Guest Reviews

"The best dal bhat on the entire Annapurna Circuit. After 8 hours of trekking, walking into Tilicho Hotel felt like coming home. Warm rooms, incredible food, and a staff that genuinely cares."

"Stayed 3 nights waiting out a snowstorm — not a single boring moment. The bakery alone is worth the detour. Apple pie, strong coffee, and mountain views from every window."

"Our favourite stop on the whole circuit. The Standard Room was compact but cosy, and the heated blankets saved us. Book ahead — they fill up fast."

"The yak steak with mushroom brandy sauce was unreal at 3,500m. Owner is incredibly helpful with trail conditions and route advice. Will 100% return."

"Clean rooms, hot shower, great food. The staff helped arrange our permit extension when we had an emergency. Cannot recommend enough."

"Trekked the Annapurna Circuit solo and Tilicho Hotel in Manang was my highlight. Met other trekkers in the dining room every evening — great community atmosphere."

"The bakery opens at 6am which is perfect for early starts. Fresh bread, homemade jam, and the best black tea I've ever had at altitude."

"Exceptional hospitality. The owner knew every guesthouse on the route and helped plan our acclimatisation day perfectly. Rooms are warm and comfortable."

"Three days at Tilicho Hotel and I didn't want to leave. The views from the dining room at sunrise are something I'll never forget."

"We arrived exhausted after the climb from Chame. The staff prepared hot soup before we even checked in. That kind of hospitality is rare anywhere, let alone at 3,500m."

"The Deluxe Room was spotlessly clean with incredible mountain views. Power sockets at the bed, warm blankets — everything a tired trekker needs."

"Dal bhat power, 24 hour! Genuinely unlimited refills and the best I've had in Nepal. The staff are so friendly and always smiling despite serving hundreds of trekkers a day."

"I've trekked in the Himalayas five times and Tilicho Hotel is the best-run guesthouse I've stayed in. The dining room has real atmosphere and the food rivals places in Kathmandu."

"My acclimatisation day in Manang was made perfect by this hotel. Did the Gangapurna Lake hike, came back to a hot shower and a proper meal. Couldn't ask for more."

"The cinnamon rolls from the bakery deserve their own five-star review. Stopped here on the way to Thorong La and loaded up — best decision of the whole trek."

"Stayed here with my guide and he said it was his favourite in Manang too — and he's been on the circuit dozens of times. High praise from someone who knows."

"Wonderful family-run hotel with genuine warmth. The owner sat with us after dinner and shared stories about Manang village — moments you don't get at a chain hotel."

"Perfect base for the Tilicho Lake day hike. The hotel provided packed lunches and trail info. Returned to find our wet gear hung to dry by the staff. Exceptional service."

"The garlic soup cured my altitude headache faster than any medication. The staff knew exactly what to recommend — they've clearly seen every kind of trekker come through."

"If you're doing the Annapurna Circuit, Tilicho Hotel is non-negotiable. Book in advance, stay two nights if you can, and eat everything on the menu. You won't regret it."

"Hot water, warm beds, incredible food — everything you need after a long day on the trail. The staff remembered our names by the second morning. A truly special place."
