    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    Nestled in a scenic spot near Pangong Lake, this property boasts cozy cottages with large bathrooms and a beautiful wooden structure. Guests rave about the delicious food, recommended pre-booked buffet, and attentive service from staff like Akash and Amit. While the lake view involves a short walk, the starry night sky views from the glass ceilings are a hit. Despite some limited electricity and connectivity, the warm hospitality and stunning surroundings make it a lovely retreat.

    Overall experience is good. Service is good. Lake is little far and not distinctly visible from room. However someone can go to front part of the hotel to see it properly

    Worth every penny spent on the stay at the merak.

    sanjay s.loyalty-icongroup

    Good food, cozy accommodation, excellent service. Overall great experience. An advise to fellow travelers - pre-book the buffet with the hotel booking, since that's the best and only eatery in that area.

    Excellent Stay

    prasanna s.loyalty-icon

    The merak is a good place to stay near pang-gong lake. The structure is beautifully built, all wooden, well done. The reception area is small, but they don't need a large reception area. People are always there to help. I met akash who helped us with getting the room and luckily we had the best room among those 11 cottages. Large space in the room, really large bathroom, all amenities like a 5 star hotel. The best part was the food. Very tasty. They serve bfast, lunch and dinner. You can go there hungry and you will not be disappointed. People serving there are really sweet. Akash, ram and one more. Met only 3 people and they were handling the whole show. Will definitely stay there again if i can get to merak. Very comfortable place to stay.

    Not worth

    priyanka l.loyalty-iconcouple

    For a stay charging a premium, least expected would be electricity backup for 24 hours. There is no power between 11am to 6pm and 12am to 6am. Wifi isn’t available which is because of the proximity to the ind o china border which is agreeable. However the same should be clearly listed. The resort is not located by the lake, it is a good 2. 5 to 3 kms walk. The room doesn’t meet expectation for the price paid. There is a smell in the room and it is more or less a temporary structure itself, just that it seems a little done up compared to a tent. Staff is courteous, food is decent. All is all, for that price point, not worth a stay here

    Remote location with beautiful view but need precautionary measures

    chirag s.loyalty-icongroup

    The hotel is located at a remote place known as merak. It is a no network area except bsnl network that too it is operational for selected hours. We faced breathlessness. Need oxygen mandatorily. Be prepared accordingly. The lake can be seen at a distant. However it is a 10 mins walk to reach the lake. Food was good. Service was good. They were helpful & courteous. Will suggest a stay here if the onward journey is to hanle.

    nikhil s.loyalty-iconfamily

    No phone signal or wifi. Food was good, but the views shown online are deceptive. Rooms are cozy and comfortable. The best part is the glass ceiling, perfect for star gazing.

    Good Stay

    puneet p.loyalty-icon

    Great location. Good food. All the staff members are very good and helpful. The pangong lake is about 1 km across the road that you have to walk down. There is no place to buy even basic stuff in pangong so go prepared. The rooms are well built and well kept. The hotel runs on genset from 6 pm till 12 am and there is no power after that. No signal of jio or airtel. Only bsnl works for calling. They give you bsnl phones in your room for urgent calls. They also have oxygen concentrator in case of emergency. Its just the natural beauty that you enjoy in pangong otherwise there is nothing else you can do. The hotel is about 15 kms away from pangong scooter site. Overall the merak is the best in pangong.

    Power generator is stopped at midnight every day. For improvement, it’s recommended that the heating element should be given in solar water heater because today i had to take bath with ice cold water. 3-some mirror(3-4 ft )may be provided in front entrance space of each cottage. Rest everything was fine staff is very cooperative

    A must stay for people visiting pan-gang ts o lake. The rooms are luxurious, comfortable, extremely clean bathrooms and toilets. Rooms give a view to the dark sky while lying on the bed. The mouthwatering food is freshly preparedby chef sachin and his team. Akash and amit look after the guests and food respectively very warmly, politely courteously and always ready to lend a helping hand. We had an unforgetfull stay. Thankyou all.

    We had a great stay at the merak, pangong. The location is 20km away from the main area which makes it more peaceful & the way to the hotel is beautiful along the lake. The hotel has the view of the lake, 10min walk to reach the lake. The welcome was great & the staff was very courteous & friendly. The rooms are decent sized. There is a sitting area, bedroom & big bathroom. The cottage is thermally insulated which makes it warm & cozy to stay in the night. But in the mornings it is a bit too warm. Cleanliness & amenities are upto standard. Room doesn’t have great view but if you just sit outside we are surrounded by snow capped mountains on all sides. Food is provided as buffet or you can also order. Delicious food.

    Below expectations

    shailesh g.family

    We were at the merak for an overnight stay. Listing the pros and cons here pros: good food and good smiling people. Star gazing at night to spot the milky way galaxy cons: no electricity from midnight to 6 am. No wifi. Given the far off location of this place, no wifi and limited electricity is understandable but this has to be communicated at the time of booking. The cottages maybe insulated however there is no finishing done to them. The paint and cement remains lay dripping and hardened in the bathrooms. Cleanliness of bathroom is way below par. In case of a medical emergency due to ams, this place is not easily accessible. It is at least 50 mins away from the main shooting point area of the pangong lake. The images They obviously don't capture the shoddy loos and the soiled carpets
