Pokhara made for you

High above the Pokhara Valley, your days at Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge start with local tea as the sun rises behind the Himalayas, turning jagged peaks gold with the warm glow of daylight. From the elevated perch, you'll wake to the mesmerising sight of Nepal’s mountains.

Named after the fragrant temple tree or frangipani, Temple Tree Resort sits beside a scenic lake, framed by the foothills and peaks of the Annapurna Mountain Range. From double-storey hand-cut stone cottages with garden views, to exclusive apartments and a generous suite enjoying Himalayan vistas, the accommodation here provides utter scenic comfort. After a day of trekking through the stunning natural scenery, return to this tranquil retreat to unwind in the infinity pool, Jacuzzi or at the indulgent spa. Treatments at the spa include traditional perfumed oils, spices and the essences of Himalayan flowers and shrubs. Take a table at The Bay Leaf Restaurant where international cuisine is served against a sublime backdrop, while The Tree House and The Island Bar offer relaxed spots to enjoy a drink and light bite to eat. Besides its scenic setting, Temple Tree Resort is also based just ten minutes from both the centre of Pokhara and the airport, ensuring complete easy access.

Nestled among lush vegetation on a tranquil lake a short distance from Pokhara town, this all-natural sanctuary faces the snow-clad Annapurna massif that towers above flourishing paddy fields and the gentle Begnas lake. Rooms and suites look out to these picture-perfect lake and mountain views and are built in ethnic Gurung style stone-houses. All are tastefully appointed and enjoy bundles of space, with the waterfront cottages providing the maximum privacy. The resort is surrounded by chestnut, orange and other fruit trees, as well as coffee and cardamom bushes. The beautiful natural surrounds are echoed throughout the resort, creating a nourishing and healing environment, from traditional Ayurvedic remedies at the Himalayan Spa to a mountain spring water pool, and homegrown produce served at the restaurant. Activities like yoga, meditation, colourful nature walks and village trails continue the healthy theme, while boating trips on the lake offer an idyllic spot to relax and fish.      

Nestled in a tranquil valley near the banks of a meandering mountain-fed river, sits The Pavilions Himalayas. Set against the backdrop of the epic mountain range, this eco-sensitive resort is the perfect place to relax while enjoying Nepal’s outstanding natural beauty. Dedicated to the sustainability of the natural environment and benefiting the lives of the local people, The Pavilions Himalayas is involved in several projects and programmes. The 14 spacious villas, completely powered by solar energy, are spread across organic farmland, combining traditional charm with modern luxury. From your private terrace, you can admire the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas and immerse yourself within the quiet and peaceful way of life in the countryside. For those wanting a little more independence, there’s a family cottage located within the village, which comes with its own garden and kitchen. The great outdoors beckons, and you can choose to spend your time trekking, birdwatching or exploring the nearby Phewa Lake. For when you want to simply sit back and relax, head to the spa or outdoor pool, and when hunger strikes, the Clubhouse serves authentic Nepali cuisine with much of the produce grown on-site.
