Guest House in nepal

 

Hi all! We welcome you to our very comfortable and well-run Guest House in Pokhara, Nepal – the base for Trekking and rafting in the Annapurna Himalaya.
It is called the Pushkar Guest House, and is family owned and operated by Boom and Krishna Paudel. We are well-known among travellers to Pokhara for our Rooftop Restaurant with amazing views and our great breakfasts (with real crusty brown bread!)
Our Guest House has a very easy-going atmosphere, great service and meals, cold beer and warm beds! The rooftop is a top place to relax and watch the world go by below, enjoy some refreshments and meet other travellers. We have our own Carrom Board you can play for your enjoyment. We also have a rooftop stereo where you can play your own music if you choose.
Your host, Krishna, speaks fluent English and Japanese and converses in many other languages. He is currently in Sydney, Australia studying his Diploma in Travel and Tourism. He is very knowledgable about the entire Annapurna area, and is a fully-trained trekking guide, who can organise other guides, porters, accomodation and attend to anything you need.

Pushkar Guest House – Pokhara Nepal
is happy to share with you information about things to see and do
in Pokhara and surrounding areas.

Pokhara is a hub for independent travelers in the Annapurna area preparing or recovering from trekking or white water rafting or just looking for an idyllic sub-tropical to relax and refresh. Pokhara caters to all budgets, with the main focus on the budget traveller.
It is accessible by road and air. There are frequent, cheap buses to and from Kathmandu, though due to poor roads and frequent delays the buses are generally slow and comfortable. However there are exceptions and if you talk to the people at booking office in the Pushkar Guest House they can help get you a seat on a better bus. It’s worth the effort.
By air it’s a treat. Aside from the enormous views of the Himalaya, looking over the wonderful patchwork hills and valleys, rivers and lakes is an experience that will remain in your memory. Landing in Pokhara is spectacular. Sweeping into the runway just above the deep Seti river gorge is breathtaking. Alighting from the plane onto a runway framed by snowy peaks, you know you are in a special place. It’s not difficult to walk to the Lakeside area from the airport, though there are always plenty of taxis and buses waiting.
Things to see and do.
The lake (Phewa Tal) which supports the travellers hub, is the second largest in the Kingdom. Dotted with brightly painted wooden boats gliding through reflections of icy summits, Pokhara’s lake presents a picture that touches the soul of all who see it. Hire a boat for a few hours, either with or without a local boatman to row you, and take your camera and your consciousness to a place you’ll remember forever.
Sarangkot is a summit on the mountain ridge north of Lake Phewa. There are several guesthouses near the top suitable for a night’s stay. Magnificent views of the Himalayan peaks and of all Pokhara make the considerable effort of climbing Sarangkot worth every minute.
Buy lovely and unusual silver/semi-precious stone/yak-bone jewellery and ornaments from the many roadside vendors, often Tibetan women who will sit and spread out their wares and haggle with you about prices. It’s fun, and if you take time to look carefully, sometimes you’ll turn up bizarre little ornaments, fantastic as mementos or for gifts when you get back home.
Buy clothes and equipment. While not having the range you’ll find in Kathmandu, Pokhara is still a cool place to shop for funky, colourful clothes of all qualities and prices. Anything from bags to mountaineering clothes and equipment is available here, and if you take your time and sit and drink tea and talk to the vendors it’s surprising what you can learn about the local culture. You’ll make friends who will greet you happily each time you pass, and who you can rely on to help you if you need advice. Very rewarding.
Tashi Ling, the Tibetan refugee camp just outside of Pokhara, near Devi Falls, is home to displaced people who make a living weaving Tibetan Carpets and a variety of handicrafts. Well worth spending half a day to visit the area.
Bookshops abound and are full of treasures brought in from all over the world and traded on something fresh for the next journey. Backpacker favorites, classics, local history and culture and always those hard-to-find gems that you’ve never seen anywhere else.
Bars & Restaurants – Beer and mixed drinks are available at most restaurants, and also from one of the few Bars in town. For an experience, try the local ‘Nepali wine’ (raksi) or ‘Nepali Beer’ (chang). Tuborg, Iceberg, Everest, San Miguel or Carlsberg Beer are available, though usually warm.
Along with the excellent food, guests (and lucky visitors) of the Pushkar Guest House are treated to icy-cold beer – just let us know in advance you like it cold and we’ll arrange it for you!
Annapurna Regional Museum, on the campus of the Prithvi Narayan University east of the bazaar, is a natural history museum of the Annapurna region and the Annapurna Conservation Area Project. Among its exhibits is a large butterfly collection.
About 15 km east of Pokhara are Begnas and Rupa Lakes. Smaller and less well known than Lake Phewa and very serene and quiet. Boats can be rented from the nearby village. Various vantage points offer lovely views of the lakes framed with mountain peaks.
Get a haircut and you will usually receive a free head/neck massage. Often you can negotiate all sorts of massages, but make sure you agree on price before beginning or you might find the price goes through the roof.
Experience the cut-throat razor by having a shave in one of the tiny barber shops. You will never have a smoother, or more pampered face. These guys really know their stuff. Be sure that a fresh blade is inserted before starting. A fresh blade is usually used, but better safe than sorry.

There is much more to Pokhara than what is mentioned here.
Seek and ye shall find… If you can’t find something you want, ask us at Pushkar Guest House.
We are always happy to help!
