“Topas Ecolodge struck me as more than just a hotel; it's a meticulously crafted experience, from the thoughtfully prepared dishes-that mountain chicken comes highly recommended-to the warm, genuine smiles of the staff, many of whom are developing new skills here. The bungalows exude a five-star quality, offering beautiful spaces to unwind, whether by the pool or on a trek through the surrounding rice fields; even the small details, like well-maintained restrooms and carefully chosen tableware, left a distinct impression. For anyone seeking both relaxation and immersion in local culture, this lodge seems to offer a rare blend of both.”
