Temple Tree Resort & Spa
A stone-and-timber resort at Gaurighat in Lakeside, about 150 m from Phewa Lake, with an outdoor pool, spa and gardens. Comfortable rooms and an easy walk to the lake make it our comfort-tier choice in Pokhara, especially for families and couples.

The buildings use stone, slate and timber in a style drawn from western Nepal's hill architecture, around gardens and an outdoor infinity pool with a spa pool area.
Rooms are comfortable, with balconies, and several restaurants and a bar are on site, serving Nepali and international food. The spa offers massages and flower baths, useful after a trek. On clear days the Annapurna range shows from parts of the grounds. Book a room facing the gardens or mountains, and ask for a quieter wing in peak season.
Why we use it
- Pool and spa near Phewa Lake
- Walkable to Lakeside cafes and boats

Around the stay
Pokhara
Pokhara is Nepal's second city and the base for the Annapurna region, at about 800 m beside Phewa Lake, 200 km west of Kathmandu. Machapuchare, the 6,993 m Fishtail, rises straight behind it. Come for lake boats, Sarangkot sunrise, paragliding and the start of the Poon Hill, Ghandruk and Jomsom routes.
