Perched almost 3000 meters above the Thamo and Thame valleys, the lodge has the most awesome views of the surrounding mountains like Kongde Ri, Thamserku, Kang Taiga, Kusum Kangru and Khumbila. With a monastery and a few monks as year-round neighbours, Mende has an amazing sense of tranquility and peace.

Located just off the main trail between Namche Bazar and Thame, the frontier to the Tibetan Plateau separated only by the 5741 meter Nangpa La pass. Mende has been described by many of our guests as  'one of a kind.'
