Independent - accommodation in Pokhara

Exceptional stay with top notch staff. Grounds are immaculate. The room is spacious and clean, you can see the Annapurna range from the garden tub. Top floor viewing and seating areas with bar. Nice grounds. Book this now! This is the nicest hotel in Pokhara. Quiet and safe.

Fairly quiet area. My room on the third floor was nice and drafty. It had access to the wrap around balcony and rooftop staircase access. This is a family owned hotel and they provide several things, such as laundry service, breakfast, taxi service, paragliding, bungee jumping, short and long Himalaya trekking expeditions with guides and transportation to all locations. The prices for activities are comparable to other companies in Pokhara, but it seemed much more convenient to use Cherry Garden because you’re picked up and dropped off for all activities directly to and from the hotel. This hotel is right down the street from Lake Side and has many restaurants and shops a few minutes away. I really enjoyed my guide Chitra as he’s been a trekking guide for 20 years and knows the trails and timing between each village very well!

An unforgettable post-trek retreat—beautiful design, serene atmosphere, and exceptional service My husband and I stayed at Dorje’s for three nights after completing the Annapurna Circuit, and it was the best decision we made on our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt deeply cared for—greeted at the Pokhara airport, welcomed with a refreshing drink, and allowed to check in early, which we really appreciated after days on the trail. The property is stunning, with thoughtful architecture and interior design throughout. Nearly every spot on the grounds offers a beautiful lake view, and the rooms are filled with intentional, high-quality touches. Everything felt fresh, clean, and well-maintained. We indulged in spa treatments that included access to the steam room and sauna before our massages—an incredibly relaxing experience. Since we were there at the end of May (the beginning of monsoon season), the property was especially peaceful, and we often had the pool entirely to ourselves. The staff mentioned that it gets much livelier around September and October. We also had the pleasure of meeting Dorje himself and hearing his inspiring story of building the resort after years in the restaurant business. His hospitality ethos is clear in every detail—from the delicious, fresh food at the on-site restaurant (we happily ate most meals there) to the genuinely kind, attentive staff who go above and beyond to make your stay exceptional.
