Pokhara Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Arrived in Nepal - Pokhara, around 2am Monday morning. It was a back breaking journey which totalled over 14 hours. We made a detour to the sight of Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini and then carried on into the mountains to reach our oasis of calm.

Pokhara is one of the most beautiful places i've been to and comes with a welcomed cooler cl...

Got up really early this moring and wandered around at sunrise, very quiet and clam at this time. Met 2 americal girls also looking for a new hotel, (Maia and Kylie) and i told them about the place i was moving to, they were keen to stay there so we headed to Mikes Restaurant for breakfast, was so yum, had nepalise omelette and it was filled wit...

India has been excellent, despite some stories thus far on this blog we have had a superb time and scene some of the most of the most excellent sites this planet has to offer, However getting off the bus in Pokhara (despite the touts and taxi drivers trying to rip us off) it felt good to be out of 40 + degrees of the last month and into 30 degre...

Yes I am finally getting out of Kathmandu, two weeks after arriving, and 9 days after originally planned. The last two days have been a bit of a wash out, a combination of being a bit sick, strikes being called on and off meaning that no one knows what is going on so most people just stay at home, and the ever worsening gloom of dust/cloud/smog....

Hello guys! Yesterday J.P. Cross and Buddhiman Gurung picked me up from Fire on the Mountain and took me to the colonel's home where we drank tea and talked about the Gurkhas and Nepal. It was a fascinating talk, and it is clear that J.P. Cross' knowledge of not only Nepal but most of Asia is vast. After this, Buddiman dropped me off at the scho...

Day 12 - Back to Braga - 3360m/11,300ft Our arrival at the Hotel Buddha this morning, is welcomed with a warm smile and a hot pot of tea. Karma the owner is making me feel at home with ease. He gives me a choice of rooms, all of which are bright and airy with big windows. I settle for one with a great view down the Manang valley and feel better ...

Getting a visa at the Nepal border proved to be quick and easy and our Nepalese driver Nobbin soon arrived to take us to one of the best hotels of the trip, where we enjoyed a delicious Chinese buffet surrounded by bald Buddhist nuns. I noticed immediately that Nepal has a very different flavour to India: cleaner, less people, less chaotic, less...
