The Fort Resort

酒店花園維護得很好，屋頂看日出。遠處雪山需要運氣，有霧的時候看不到雪山。

The garden and the terrace areas are beautiful with flowers and vegetation. Fantastic mountain, sunrise views from the rooftop, just ignore the building site in the background. Hotel is old, and the bathroom is in original state. However the beds are comfortable, and warm water in the shower arrives after a short while. The garden villa area is quiet during the night, but might have some insects, mostly just harmless bees visiting the flowers. All in all a pleasant stay, food is average-good. Staff is very friendly and helpful, although its 100% male staff.

After the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu we began to climb into the mountains. As the bus pulled ever harder around the hairpin bends, the vast Kathmandu Valley was spread below us with a magnificent sunset to top it off. Our sense of isolation was heightened by our final approach to the hotel up the steep, unlit driveway. However, we were met with a profusion of willing helpers as we were checked in and shown to our rooms. We’d lucked out with a massive room with wall to ceiling windows overlooking one of the terraces beyond which was the valley and the distant Himalayas. Being part of a group of 18, we appreciated that our dinner, chosen from an extensive menu, was served promptly and efficiently with everyone eating together. The next morning was a self-imposed early start for the showstopper that this area is deservedly famous for: the sunrise over the magnificent Himalayas. Whilst layers of cloud filled the valleys beneath us, the mountain range was mercifully clear and we were able to revel in the experience. Despite being in a group, the peace and tranquility pervaded the landscape making it almost a spiritual experience and easily the highlight of the entire tour. We later discovered that the entire mountain range had been blanketed in clouds for the previous 4-5 mornings: how lucky were we? That this hotel is so perfectly situated to enjoy these spectacular views is worthy in itself to return but it is a relaxing, friendly place with plenty of little seating areas and sunrooms from which to enjoy the views. Added to which are the tranquil gardens and numerous roof terraces.

Although the staff are remarkable and friendly, the hotel is very dated with few amenities. It seemed like we were in a converted storage area right next to a fantastic viewing area on a rooftop. The room was basic, with a bed on wooden floorboards in a separate room (no tv and very patchy wifi) a lounge area with a daybed and a raised area opposite the fully glazed entrance. If you forgot to close the bathroom door properly, (situated just off the lounge area and raised) those enjoying the views of the himalaya from the roof, might also be treated to a view of you on the throne through the fully glazed entrance, as the door would regularly fall open. Likewise, closing the door properly and pulling across the shower curtain. The moon might often be glimpsed. Generally comfortable, dated and might prove challenging for people with mobility issues, as the are stairs everywhere.... But you go there for a chance to see an amazing panorama, and a moon if you peep. Unfortunately not available to us because of cloud

We stay for 1 day for group of 10 ppl . The hospitality and view and nature preservation of this place has touched my heart. People are so nice and gentle and hospitable. They served us with 5-10 dishes with so much love . Though it’s resort but they created such a harmony and balance with nature I haven’t seen anywhere . . I would love to visit it again very soon
