Homestays in Gilgit

Staff were very friendly and accommodation was better Than expected

My two friends and I spent two nights in the Rakaposhi Amin Hotel & Restaurant. We needed a foothold for the two-day trek to Rakaposhi Base Camp. We've arrived by taxi from Islamabad, if you leave early you can get there in a day, it's a long journey, but it is doable!!! The Guest house is in the heart of Pissan, a wonderful village at the foot of the Rakaposhi, right below the highest natural Cricket stadium in the world. The rooms are new, clean, and surrounded by a beautiful orchard. The place is quiet and conveniently located for visiting many locations. Abim and Asif's cooking is excellent. They prepare everything freshly with fresh produce, so plan your meals with them a bit in advance!!! We are vegetarians, and we have had no difficulty finding excellent dishes! The welcome's been warm. Abim and Asif, the owners and brothers, have been very helpful in listening to our requests and always finding a solution! Kindness and helpfulness are at home here!!! They have helped us to organize our departure by giving us valuable advice!!! P.S. Try the excellent tea thyme and rose petal tea!!!

Staff was super helpful and definitely went out of their way in arranging for drivers and all other needs during the stay. Hotel is relatively new, so rooms and facilities still in pretty good condition. Some shops restaurants within walking distance. Airport is between 5-10 minutes depending on traffic/driver. Need to repeat how helpful staff was, no hesitation to sort out any issues.

Friendly and very helping guys
