The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas

This is an amazing place which puts you close to the nature and induces relaxation. We were on our hiking vacations in Nepal and The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas was our base near Pokhara. It is not a place for persons who cannot walk. To get in and out of the hotel to the road one has to climb almost 300 steps. The location of this resort is amazing. Gorgeous lakes and mountains. Beautiful views everywhere. Lush nature. Interesting plants. Swimming pool. Hammocks. Opportunity for boating. The cottages are nicely appointed and comfortable. The food was excellent. Breakfast was included and offered great variety of fresh options. We ate also 3 dinners there and they were very good. One evening there was life Nepalese music and dancing. Whenever we sat on the balcony and terrace to read a book or take advantage of better Wi-Fi they immediately offered free soft drinks - water or tea. The Wi-Fi in cottages is poor. We did not partake in the Ayurvedic spa treatments due to lack of time, but we met some European travelers staying for up to 2 months there for a variety of rejuvenating treatments. They loved it and bragged about the perceived health improvements. The treatments are apparently supervised by a physician. The owners are very attentive to their guests. Very interesting, kind and professional Polish-Nepalese couple trying their best to take care of their guests' every need. Given a chance we really want to be back at The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas for more hiking and perhaps the Ayurvedic spa treatments. After one gets up to the road, the hotel is a short walk away from other interesting villages.
