Ghandruk is a Gurung village, and the hotel is built from hand-cut local stone, carved timber and slate. Guests often tell us the conversations about Gurung culture, traditions and trekking are as memorable as the view.
“The hospitality made me feel like home.”

It all begins with Atithi Devo Bhava. You will meet the rest over tea, on the trail and at the table.
Every guest is welcomed with respect, care and an open heart. Hospitality is a sacred tradition.
The quiet joy of enough. Strive for tomorrow, but be at peace with today.
Unconditional kindness and friendship, to others and to ourselves.
We thrive when we share. True abundance flows when we lift each other up.
The strength we borrow from each other. Together, we go further.
The simplest path is often the right path. Move with ease, and life becomes beautiful.
Your righteous path. When your work serves a purpose greater than yourself, everything aligns.
Deep trust in the flow of life. Let go of fear and let life carry you.
The stillness within. Be present, be aware, and before you act, return to yourself.
Steaming dal bhat, curries rich with local valley produce, crisp salad and something sweet to finish. The Mountain View Restaurant seats 40 across an indoor hall and an open-air terrace.
Continental, Indian and Asian dishes too, with freshly roasted Nepali coffee and ginger-lemon-honey tea at the bar.
Temple, museum, tea garden and the old village are all a short walk away. Tap a place on the map to see how far it is from RJ Boutique Hotel.

A sacred Hindu temple that offers more than spiritual serenity: it rewards visitors with 360-degree views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) ranges. The moderate one-hour hike through the old village is an experience in itself.
