With just 19 rooms, this exclusive retreat, set in a fabulous location above the Pokhara Valley, provides comfort and attention to personal service. The lodge's rooms, hand-cut stone cottages built to blend into their surroundings, are sited to offer breathtaking views. Each room features a private veranda, en suite bathroom, and twin or king beds. The Main Lodge has a cozy central fireplace, bar, dining room, and plenty of outdoor terraces for meals al fresco. There is also a secluded swimming pool whose waters reflect the famous peak of Machapuchare. Guided hikes and village visits are a wonderful feature of the lodge; non-hikers can choose to relax amid stunning mountain scenery and take advantage of on-site Shiatsu massage as well as meditation and yoga instruction by a local master. The lodge has won several prestigious tourism awards including the Condé Nast Traveler Ecotourism Award.
