Himalaya Gongo Hotel 🇳🇵

  • ■ NEPAL, HIMALAYA: Ever since I'd ran into an Indian trekker coming back down along the Langtang river on my first day of this Himalayan excursion, I've had one thing on my mind: get to Tibet Guesthouse at Lama Hotel rest-stop and try their Gongo (or Roksi as it's called in Nepal).
    I always like to sample locally made brews when I'm in a new country and according to this Indian who had just spent the previous night at Tibet Hotel, the owner there had made the best Gongo he'd ever had in his entire life.
    In fact, and I quote: "He has brewed it to perfection!", he said.
    That's why I set out from Bamboo Lodge so early in the morning without even eating anything other than a granola bar. I wanted to get to Tibet Guesthouse as soon as possible to start the day like any real man should: with a fresh shot of Gongo!
    What I didn't expect though was to run into the coolest and nicest couple I met on my whole Himalayan trekking adventure. A couple that started the very first lodge at the Hotel Lama location over 40 years ago and are still running that same guesthouse today.
    ■ Now before you watch, or after for that matter, I'd like to comment on what you see in the very beginning here, which I actually fully understand given the hard times hotel and guesthouse operators face, but still rubs me the wrong way. As I'm walking into this area here called Lama hotel I already knew where I was going: Tibet Guesthouse.
    Every-time I entered a cluster of guesthouses like this, the people who run the first hotels and restaurants will of course be outside trying their best get you to stop at theirs. In this case however I knew where I was going and clearly stated I was going to Tibet Guesthouse, although I didn't know exactly which building that was.
    Instead of simply pointing it out for me, they answer evasively on all my questions and instead say something along the lines of why don't I stop at their hotel instead.
    Normally I am fairly good and ignoring such people but in this case I was so obsessed with hunting for Gongo that they nearly got the better of me. Especially when I saw that big barrel of I almost set up shop there and as you can see for the next 5 minutes even after getting away, seriously pondered going back to eat at said hotel.
    Luckily I came to my senses and both drank and ate at Tibet Guesthouse which was the original plan. My point is when someone already know where they're going I wish they'd simply say sure... that's the hotel you see 3 buildings down there on the right; enjoy!

      @@sam_rowan That was a cool post and I really appreciate it -I'll also check out that book. And if I'm completely honest, I think I sometimes use the money thing as an excuse. I have no debt and I've got a pretty good savings that I'm just reluctant to use. But as you say, I need to get out there. The only real traveling I've done was in the Yucatan and the Caribbean. Don't worry,, I'm not talking about cruises or all inclusive resorts.....I did the kind of stuff Harald and Bald and others do and it was the greatest time of my life. I know that still isn't exactly being adventurous (its less than 1500 miles from home and even when going off the tourist trail there are not many truly isolated/adventurous places. But it gave me just enough of a feel for travel that I know I'd enjoy going to more exotic places. Thanks for the encouragement and I hope you GET OUT THERE too! :)

      Maybe I'm wrong...but there certainly seems to be something about people who live in mountains and who know all their neighbors and life being inherently hard in such places...that that kind of people, no matter where in the world, tend to be very welcoming and incredibly charitable to those who pass through...it's pretty much that way in the USA in various parts of Appalachia as well and I have seen at least one or two reports of some researchers studying people who live in cold, mountainous areas that apparently found it to just be the case: people who live in cold, mountainous areas are just nicer and more gentle to others...almost out of necessity I imagine since you never feel the need of other humans quite like living in such areas. In cities, it's easy to just treat others as just another number...one of many who has no relation to you and who, if you wanted to, you would never have to see again even though you live within 1 square mile of each other.

      @@wowomah6194 I have had this same observation. I guess the harder the elements push people, the closer they draw together. It is also just in generally cold places - not strictly mountainous areas; the northern plains of Canada would be a good example. What certainly helps is their distance from urbanised centres, where money and power have an influence. I also saw evidence of this humanity in Vietnam in rural areas. There are many factors but the differences between cold, mountainous areas and cities in the USA, for example, are stark.
