Sarangkot Mountain Lodge

A huge shoutout to Mr. Kamal Prasad and the amazing team at Sarangkot Mountain Lodge. Beyond the stunning views and excellent food, it’s the people here that make this place truly special. We faced a tricky travel situation involving embassy paperwork, which could have derailed our entire trip. One call to Mr. Kamal and his words were: “You and your family enjoy your trip — leave this to me.” And he meant it. He personally coordinated everything, ensuring our travel continued smoothly while we stayed stress-free. This kind of genuine, above-and-beyond service is rare and priceless. If you’re visiting Pokhara, this place isn’t just a stay — it’s an experience. Highly recommend! A few highlights worth mentioning: Location: 10/10 -- Nestled amidst the hills, with panoramic views of the Annapurna range, this lodge offers a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur. The rooms, though compact, are beautifully maintained and cleverly designed — the scenery more than makes up for any size considerations. Food: 10/10 -- The culinary experience here is a journey in itself. The authentic Nepali dishes, especially their Thakali set, are a must-try — an explosion of flavors prepared with heart. Customer Service: 100/10 -- I say this without exaggeration. The genuine care, humility, and proactive attitude of Mr. Kamal and his team set a new benchmark in hospitality. It’s rare to find a place where service comes from a place of sincerity, not duty — and Sarangkot Mountain Lodge epitomizes that. Trekking Experience: 10/10 - - For those seeking a little adventure, the trekking trails around the lodge offer serene woods and breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas. It’s an experience you simply cannot miss while staying here.

The view from the property is truly stunning, and we were fortunate to have clear weather at the end of December to fully enjoy the beauty of the Annapurna mountain range. To celebrate our 12th anniversary, my husband and I chose this property, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The staff were warm, humble, and genuinely kind. They made our day even more memorable by decorating our room and arranging a beautiful candlelight setup. They surprised us with a cake and even sang for us, which added a personal touch to the celebration. Cutting the cake surrounded by the team felt like a heartfelt experience—almost like being at home, away from home. The manager, Mr. Kamal, was nice and shared fascinating insights about Fishtail, which we truly appreciated. The breakfast spread and overall food quality were excellent.

Absolutely exceptional! In every way! Fabulous staff, fabulous food (huge breakfast buffet with a view) fabulous pool, fabulous service!! The large spotless room with a gorgeous bathroom had one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. I was travelling with my mum and we had two rooms - they kindly put us in ones that interconnected if we chose to - which we did so it was like a suite. And oh my goodness THAT view! From your room!! Or the rooftop bar, or the pool. Just wow. A short walk to the world class cable car to take you down to Pokhara but why walk when they offer a complimentary drive to the cable car and even pick you up if you contact them (or in our case saw us walking back when they dropped off other people and promptly came back and picked us up). It’s also right next door (a 30 second walk) to the zip line which you HAVE to do! One of the BEST places I have ever stayed. Stay here instead of Pokhara, and catch the 9 minute beautiful cable car with an incredible view when you feel like going to town. You will LOVE it!

Everything was amazing. The food was some of the best we have had in Nepal!! The buffet breakfast was amazing and the restaurant had delicious food Rooms were very clean and comfortable and every night we were given a warm water bottle which was the best. All the staff were so lovely and very helpful. The views were amazing even when it was cloudy.

The staff were beyond helpful and polite and did everything within their power to make the stay as comfortable and as magical as possible. It was my partners birthday during the stay and the staff made it one of the most lovely evenings we have ever had. The rooms are incredible, and any questions or queries were dealt with swiftly. There was nothing missing from our stay. Once in a lifetime brilliant.
