Where can I start? The cottage itself was really comfortable, clean, prettily furnished and light. The bed had a mosquito net, and I can't even describe how happy the warm shower made us.
The view was just breathtaking, and the yard has a place for grilling and some chairs. The surroundings are nice and quiet, especially after being in Kathmandu. There is an old couple living in a small house next to the cottage, but they were polite and nice and didn't bother us.
The best thing was getting to walk around the village and go sight-seeing with Surraj, because he knows a lot about the places, he's a fun guy and really takes care of his guests. We went to a local restaurant for dinner and I swear their veggie thukpa was the best I've ever had (and really cheap too)!
The only downside was the big scary spiders in the cottage, but if you're going to Nepal that's not really something you should even care about.
I'm definitely going back some day, I wish Mike & Surraj all the best!
