Simon and Mina were the perfect hosts, they were very welcoming and they, along with their family, really went of their way to make the stay amazing. The rooms were comfy and clean and the food they made was delicious. The location is also amazing, nestled in the hillside of the village of Dollu, it gave a good sense of village living with some beautiful scenery. We did the Champa Devi Hike which Simon gave us great tips for. Rocky their dog was an added bonus!

Beautiful location, tucked away on the hillside in Dollu. The lodge was very quiet, surrounded by beautiful flowers, vegetable and herb garden and fruit trees. The room was clean and comfortable with a working toilet, bidet, and shower. The upstairs dining room area overlooks peaceful hillside and is a perfect place to sit around and chat with other travelers and owners. There is a strong internet access. The hosts were friendly and helpful with directions to the local hikes. Mina, the co-owner was an amazing cook. She made delicious paneer, tahli, chicken dish, Nepalese peanut sadako appetizer, and banana pancakes, to name a few. The Guru Rinpoche and Adzom Monasteries are within the walking distance along the country side road. Pharping and Asura Caves were also within the walking distance ( approximately 1 hr walk) or a taxi ride for 400rupees. Highly recommend to stay here before or after your trek to unwind, eat healthy and delicious food and chat with the owners and other travelers.

There was nothing that I disliked about the property.

The property is up in the hills outside of Pharping. From there a short walk into town or a litlle longer hike that takes you into town higher up on a hill that eventually takes you into town through a “Prayer Flag Forest”. We loved the quiet , our hosts, Mina & Simon became like family - such lovely people. The meals were so delicious - all prepared from their organic farm. Very sweet spot.

I really liked the location - at the end of a steeply wooded valley in the heart of Nepalese rural life. I also enjoyed the excellent hospitality of the owners -Mina and Simon who went out of their way to make me feel at home and comfortable. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was very relaxed and homely.

We really enjoyed our stay at Solid Rock - beautiful room, incredible views, delicious food (dinner on arrival was amazing! tasted so good!), and such welcoming friendly hosts. We were especially grateful for Simon’s suggestion of a walk down to Pharping through the mountains and prayer flags - so beautiful! Would definitely visit again if we are in the area in the future!

We loved it - nothing we didn’t like

Simon, Mina, the room, the view, the location, the walks, the caves, the smiles, the flowers, the food, the air, the fireflies...and above all the conversations.

We loved this place because the hosts are such lovely people, the food is good and rooms clean. The setting is out of the way, a bit of an uphill climb but the views are stunning.
