We stayed here for 4 nights after a trek and didn't want to leave. From the minute the staff welcomed us we could see this was a very different experience than many hotels in Nepal. You could comfortably use this hotel as a base and explore Pokhara, the lake, villages, mountains and temples from here. We experienced two rooms - one called Chakra and a Chalet and I wouldn't worry which you have - they are all very large, private and have stunning local architecture.A view of the garden is as lovely as a view of the hills. I'd like to have tried the most remote ones in the field, the Grand lodges. The restaurant is high end with a wide variety of food and cocktails (try the sangria!) with notably impressive, sensitive service. We often had food delivered up to our room. The marble pool is cooling and luxurious and we had amazing massages, facial and a private yoga class in the studio overlooking the fields at sunset. But for me, most importantly the hotel was conceived and constructed over many years with environmental and social considerations built in. Most of the lodges are powered by their own solar panels, water is carefully reused in flushing or the farm, no single-use plastic, most of the food is locally sourced. 50% of profits support local initiatives from supporting organic farming practices to a local education social enterprise specialising in hospitality with the hotel employing many of the graduates. Please make sure you bring enough cash to put in the tip box at the end of your stay - ideally enough for at least 10% of your food, drink and spa bill. The staff don't solicit tips, which made our stay more relaxing than some places, and the central box means that the cooks and cleaners also get recognition for their contribution.
