Oak Valley Retreat

Walls and ceiling of common area covered with a hundred quality posters, photos of heavy metal, grunge, rock, blues, pop legends. Come see. Sunny will play your favorites. Beer, spirits, meal, reminisce, quietly, not to party. Good place for bikers, secure parking. Bird watching. Hotel 1 km uphill from Geyzing market. Flag taxi downhill for 20 rp. 6 km (not 1.5) to Pelling-take shared taxi in Geyzing, 70 rp. Geyzing has restos, atms, general stores, little else. Pelling good restos, little els...

Hidden gem with good food and nice bar/cafe area. Location is pretty close to the main taxi stand in Geyzing/Gyalshing, especially good for people not traveling with their own vehicle. Close to a very cool monastery and ruins. Very close to Pelling as well. Good views on a clear day. The area is still developing as a backpacking destination so get here before it’s too crowded. Dorm was under renovated when I visited and the host was kind enough to accommodate me in a private room
