MANOKUR - E- BASA HOTEl

Hello! My name is Daria. My husband and I are from Russia, St. Petersburg. We have extensive experience in mountain travel. We traveled to the north of Pakistan at the end of August 2025. We really enjoyed camping at this hotel! It's cozy and comfortable to be here, the atmosphere is conducive to rest and relaxation! The location is very convenient at the very beginning of the trail to Rakaposhi. The owner Fido took great care of us and we want to wish this place prosperity!

Best experience I have ever had. Perfect place to stay for hapakun and rakaposhi track, top notch service, facilities and food. Owner Faida bhai is great personality and Soo hospitable, also staff are so comparative and helpful.

Fida bhai is a great person himself and his hospitality is amazing. He also manages the camps at hapakun and inspite of having service issues in those areas he maintains a very good service at high point of hapakun as well. He'll guide you all about your trek to rakaposhi and also will tell you all about the local culture and history. An interesting man to sit and talk with. He offered us complementary Rose tea twice which was wonderful and unique in it's taste.

It's a cozy place to rest and dine before starting your trek towards RakaPoshi Basecamp. You can have a good view of the valley from this hotel and the unique thing here is the quotes written on the on different places are so cute and meaningful.

Perfect place to stay for the Rakaposhi hike, especially if you're planning to do it in one day. Very clean bathroom. They also offer a speedy laundry service (dropped it off in the evening and already back before 6am).

The name, Manokur-e-Basa, which in Burushaski language means an abode of the noble people, is truly representative of its owner and his entire team. I was really impressed by the warm welcome the guests receive, the hospitality and generosity of the owner, and above all the humility which one rarely finds in people living in urban centres. Mr Fida Hussain, despite being the owner of the place, is so humble that he himself serves the guests along with his staff members. I have seen him help his staff in cooking as well. Not only does he serve the guests but also provides them a great deal of information about the village. Whether you plan to hike towards Hapakun or Rakaposhi base camp, Manokur-e-Basa is the right place to begin the adventure. If you are not interested in hiking and just want to spend some quality time in a serene place close to nature, this is the place where you can relax.

If you are planning to hike to RP BC in one day, then this is your place. Located right at the beginning of the trail, it is the best place to sleep. Caring host, home cooked food and a beautiful outside seating area.
The owner even arranged that we were picked up by the public van in the morning, after we had told him that we wanted to go to Gilgit the next day. We also saw him helping with another guests with transport.
Caring Pakistani hospitality at its best.
Thank you!

I had an absolutely delightful stay at Manokor e Basa Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the host, Fida, made me feel incredibly welcome with his warm hospitality and attention to detail. He truly went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
The food at the hotel was also a highlight. Every meal was a treat, featuring delicious, well-prepared dishes that showcased local flavors beautifully. It's clear that they put a lot of love and care into their food, and it definitely paid off.
Overall, my experience at Manokor e Basa was fantastic. The charming atmosphere, combined with Fida's exceptional hospitality and the delicious food, made it a memorable stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay with great food to boot!
