Many Pokhara lovers are choosing to visit places outside the crowded Lakeside
For years people have been visiting Pokhara in the same way: staying in a hotel on the busy Lakeside, taking a colorful wooden boat ride on Phewa Lake, and spending their evenings exploring restaurants, cafés, and pubs with live music. Today, however, more travelers are looking beyond the crowded city to experience a quieter and more meaningful mountain getaway.
Escape the Crowds
Modern travelers often carry the stress of everyday life with them on vacation. The traffic, bright lights, and busy streets can make it difficult to truly relax. For those seeking peace and tranquility, heading east toward the forested hills of Lekhnath offers a refreshing alternative.
A Hidden Retreat in Nature
Nestled on the scenic ridge of Pachabhaiya between Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake, Himalaya Forest Resort is located along the famous Royal Trekking Trail. Surrounded by lush forests and mountain scenery, the resort provides the perfect escape for travelers who value nature, comfort, and sustainability.
Twin Lakes: Pokhara's Best Kept Secret
While Phewa Lake attracts most visitors, Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake remain peaceful hidden gems. Located just two kilometers from both lakes, Himalaya Forest Resort offers guests easy access to these beautiful natural attractions without the crowds.
Discover Begnas Lake
Begnas Lake is known for its calm freshwater, peaceful surroundings, and relaxing atmosphere. With no noisy motorboats or crowded lakeside activities, visitors can enjoy paddle boating while taking in breathtaking mountain and lakeside views.
Experience the Beauty of Rupa Lake
Rupa Lake is surrounded by untouched forests and rich biodiversity, making it an excellent destination for birdwatching, photography, and leisurely nature walks. The quiet trails around the lake provide the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature.
Fresh and Locally Sourced Dining
Good food is an essential part of every memorable vacation. Our restaurant serves delicious Nepalese and international cuisine prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy meals on our spacious open deck while surrounded by fresh mountain air and beautiful forest scenery.
Easy Access Yet Peacefully Secluded
Although the resort feels far from the city's hustle and bustle, it is conveniently located just 15 kilometers from Pokhara International Airport and around 14 kilometers from Prithvi Chowk. Lakeside is only a 25-minute drive away, allowing guests to enjoy city attractions before returning to the peaceful forest retreat.
Create Unforgettable Memories
The best travel experiences are often found away from crowded tourist spots. Spend your evenings around a cozy fire pit under a sky full of stars, breathe the fresh Himalayan air, and explore walking trails lined with native plants. Every moment becomes a memory worth keeping.
