Decent Bara — nothing more, nothing less

Bara at this place was fine. The earthy and warming flavour was there but not distinguished. dried yak cheese was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The a trekking lodge dal bhat setting was generic rather than immersive. raksi grain spirit was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Bara it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
