Located on a ridge half an hour outside Pokhara, it is an ideal base for guests to relax in a rural mountain setting, away from the bustle of Nepal’s cities. With a central lodge, bar and dining room, the comfortable rooms are arranged in clusters of cottages resembling a Nepali village. All have attached bathrooms, private verandas and Himalayan views. Daily table d’hôte menus feature a range of Nepali dishes and continental specialties made from local fresh ingredients and home – grown herbs and garden salads. Guests enjoy bird walks and day hikes through the forests and villages, escorted by trained local guides.
