The Story Behind Thanka Inn

My journey began in 2005 as an art student in Kathmandu, inspired by Himalayan culture and the vision of Edmund Hillary, who supported education in our communities through the Himalayan Trust. After graduating, I dreamed of bringing Sherpa and Tibetan art closer to travelers in the high Himalaya.

In 2012, together with my wife, Puspa, I established a small Sherpa art gallery beside my parents’ lodge in Gokyo (4,800 meters). For several years, we focused on art while also learning hospitality from our parents. It was a meaningful beginning, but as our family grew and we became parents, our responsibilities also increased. We realized that art alone was not enough to support our future.

Encouraged by our parents to grow and do more, we stepped into hospitality. That is how our inn was born—nearly a decade ago.

Finding the right name was not easy. We created hundreds of possibilities. In the end, we chose Thanka Inn, inspired by the sacred Thangka art that represents Himalayan culture, spirituality, and storytelling. As a student of Thangka art myself, this name felt deeply personal. As travelers enter the Himalaya, we want them to feel that same connection through art and place.

Today, our small art gallery welcomes everyone with free entry. For those interested, we also offer artworks for sale. Recently, we have added a peaceful corner for sound healing and massage—perfectly complemented by the breathtaking views of the lake and mountains from our windows.

We warmly invite you to visit us at Thanka Inn.
Come for the art, stay for the hospitality—
and let’s share a cup of coffee and a conversation together.

If you want to see the beautiful Gokyo Ice Lake, winter is a wonderful time to visit. It is a bit colder than usual, but you can experience clear skies and peaceful weather.

There are more than 12 lodges in Gokyo village. At the moment, only a few lodges are open, while most are closed for the winter season.

If you are traveling alone, it is better to find a companion or hire a guide, especially when crossing glaciers and high passes. The trails can be confusing, daylight hours are short, and it gets dark very early. Temperatures are very cold, so safety should always come first.

We wish you a fun, safe, and memorable trek.
