Almost all the guests that come to Gorkha Gaun come in their pre-arranged transportation. There are no rental vehicle companies in Gorkha so if you need to rent a vehicle; you will have to let us know beforehand. There are very limited choices on the vehicles in Gorkha because they are all private so they prices could vary.

The roads are all in good condition with a black top. The last 900 M is graveled; however, even a small car has no problem accessing it.

Swimming pool: Due to the limited supply of water on the hill where we are located; we do not have a swimming pool.
Air conditioning and heating:  We are an eco-resort so we have refrained from using any high-power consuming appliances and we request our guests to help us stay that way. However, keeping our guests’ comfort in mind, we have floor-standing fans for the warmer seasons and we provide hot water bags in the beds during the winter seasons.
TVs in the rooms:    Gorkha Gaun was designed in mind to encourage our guests to spend more time outdoors. Although we have very comfortable rooms with all the needed amenities, we have not put any TVs in our rooms.
Internet availability:    We do have limited internet availability. Due to the nature of our terrain and the thick stone constructions of our cottages; the internet is available in designated areas.
Hot water availability:  We have dedicated solar water heating systems for each cottage. Unless it gets cloudy for several days in a row (very unlikely) we have plenty of hot water available for our guests.
 

Meals: We serve Nepali, Chinese, Thai, and Continental meals in our restaurants. However, please keep in mind that we are located in a semi-rural area; therefore, it is impossible to have lavish choices as some of the city hotels can provide.
Given prior notice in our “Guest Information Form”, we will do our best to cater to Vegetarians, Vegans, and folks with particular food allergies.

We do not have room service in Gorkha Gaun because out residence cottages are very spread out. However, given prior information, we do provide room service for guests with special needs.
