The Namche lodge, earlier branded Yeti Mountain Home, sits in the town with views across to Kongde Ri and Thamserku.
Rooms have en-suite bathrooms with hot running water, electric blankets and good linen, and there is a restaurant, a lounge and a library. It is a comfortable base for the two acclimatisation nights in Namche. Lodges in the chain cluster below about 3,900 m, so treks to Everest Base Camp still use regular teahouses higher up.
Why we use it
- Proper beds and hot showers at 3,440 m
- Lodge-to-lodge network along the trail
- Calm base for acclimatisation days

Namche Bazaar

Questions
About Mountain Lodges of Nepal, Namche (Yeti Mountain Home)
Is Yeti Mountain Home the same as Mountain Lodges of Nepal?
Yes, the chain formerly known as Yeti Mountain Home now trades as Mountain Lodges of Nepal. Check the current name when booking.
Do Mountain Lodges of Nepal rooms have heating?
Rooms have electric blankets and en-suite bathrooms with hot water, which makes a big difference at altitude.
Can I go to Everest Base Camp staying only in these lodges?
No. The chain's lodges are on the lower trail; above them you use standard teahouses. Many signature itineraries stay in the lower Khumbu instead.
