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.
