Hotel Dancing Yak

Hotel Dancing Yak is a very nice, comfy, and budget-friendly place to stay. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the indoor restaurant serves delicious food perfect after a long travel day! What impressed me most was the staff’s helpfulness. While I was traveling from Ghandruk to Jomsom, I faced a little issue with transport. I called the hotel, and within just 15 minutes, they arranged a sharing taxi for me. That kind of quick support truly made my journey easier. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area great hospitality, comfort, and value for money!

I liked the traditional style of the hotel.

There is no soundproofing in the rooms. I was woken many times by barking dogs. The bed wasn't very comfortable. The hotel is overpriced.

Hot water, cozy warm rooms, evening jamming with the owner playing guitar

The owner is so caring. He planned me a short itinerary for my day in Jomsom, he also took me to watch some of the locals play archery and to watch music.

Nothing!

Good location Good food

It feels like there is no privacy with how little sound proofing there is. I can hear everything outside of the room very clearly. There is only a thin curtain on the windows, which doesn't give full privacy. The staff knocked on our door and called inside to us while we were resting. Good intentions to help, but it felt a little bit intrusive.

This is an authentic Himalayan experience. Owner said it used to be family home but turned into a lodge, then had to reclass as hotel. The room was spacious and clean, nice en-suite, good food in big portions. Nurse from Pokhara stop outside, loads to see.

No problems here, but you need to know the stairs are typically steep as across most of rural Nepal.

Vintage style stay.

Missing Spray Jet at toiletarie, but can be managed if u are flexible.. The rooms are cozy but this is what u get at 3500 m altitude. Some fresh air move needed inside rooms and Main Dinning area, which will make stay more energetic. Overall , it's good to go.

If I could rate Dancing Yak higher than 10, I would !!! Simply the highlight of my Nepal trip. My room was spacious and cosy/authentic. It was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and I had a great view of the nearby mountains. The owner and his staff went above and beyond for me. The owner even sat down with me, took his time and told me about the area and where/what I could go and visit. He also helped me rebook my bus ticket to Pokhara and he even drove me 5 KMs on his motorbike to a place from where I could easily hike up to a small authentic village. I don't think this is something that everyone should expect, but it just tells you something about how well they treat their guests!!!! I was supposed to stay at Dancing Yak for 3 nights, but I ended up extending my stay twice 😊
