Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge, situated 1,000 feet above the Pokhara Valley, offers a tranquil retreat with stunning Himalayan views. The lodge is ideal for pre- and post-trek stays or for guests seeking day walks, birdwatching, or relaxation in a serene rural setting. Its location on a ridge, just 30 minutes from Pokhara, provides a peaceful escape from the city's bustle.

The lodge, opened in 1998 by Sir Edmund Hillary, features clusters of stone-built cottages designed to resemble a traditional Nepali village. Each room includes an attached bathroom, a private veranda, and large windows to maximise the Himalayan vistas. Guests enjoy daily menus of Nepali and continental dishes made from fresh, local ingredients and a selection of international and local beverages.

Activities include guided bird walks and hikes through nearby forests and villages, with the flexibility to tailor plans to personal preferences. Guests can relax in the main lodge, which features a Nepali-style courtyard, a bar, and Colonel Jimmy’s library, renowned for its mountaineering literature collection.

As a pioneer of regenerative tourism in Nepal, Tiger Mountain is a member of several eco-tourism networks, including Secret Retreats and Pack for a Purpose. Certified by Travellife with Gold Standard Audits, the lodge supports local communities and sustainable practices. Combining understated luxury with a commitment to conservation, it provides an authentic Nepali experience rooted in nature and culture.
