It wasn’t too long ago that Lonely Planet crowned Nepal as the world’s best-value destination for money-conscious travelers. The budget travel bible extolled the country’s easy access to world-famous trekking routes and underrated wildlife while keeping daily expenditures well below $50. And though a constellation of affordable guesthouses and home-stays still make it possible to trek around on a shoestring, a new generation of local tour operators and luxury lodges are increasingly catering to the deep-pocketed adventurers flocking to this corner of the Himalayas.
Named for the pioneering climber Pasang Lhamu Sherpa – the first Nepalese woman to summit Mount Everest, who tragically died on the descent – the humanitarian Pasang Lhamu Foundation was established by her family in 1993 to help improve the living standards of Nepalese women and children. In 2022, the family launched Mountain Lodges Nepal, an arm of its Sherpa Hospitality Group run by Lhamu’s son, Namgyal Sherpa.
Everest for Breakfast
Imagine feasting on a champagne breakfast overlooking views that few get to see of Mt Everest. The Everest for Breakfast half-day experience is available to all guests of Mountain Lodges of Nepal. Up to five people will be transported by helicopter from Kathmandu airport for a stop in Lukla, a flyover and on to Kongde Lodge, one of the world’s highest altitude lodges at 4,250m, for a champagne breakfast from a vantage point that takes in the Khumbu Valley and the dramatic peak of Mt Everest.
Discover Nepal Without Roughing It
With its gold-topped temples and snow-covered Himalayan peaks, Nepal has long been the stuff of backpacker legends. Most cash-rich tourists make a beeline for the roughly $40,000-a-pop Mount Everest climb, but that’s set to change now that Mountain Lodges of Nepal, a recently rebranded collection of upscale accommodations, aims to boost luxury hospitality in all corners of the country.
