Pushpa Guest House — Hotel in Pokhara

We came to Nepal from Australia for a wedding in Kathmandu, we had a few spare days so decided to head to Pokhara. We didn't have a solid plan and weren't sure how to make the most of our short stay. The guesthouse host, Raj, was incredible! He put together an amazing three day trip for us that included all the things we wanted to do without it feeling rushed and overwhelming. We were able to do some cool stuff (paragliding, see the sunrise over the mountains and do an amazing hike along the base of the mountains) but also had a lot of downtime to chill and appreciate Pokhara and the food. ||||The guesthouse itself was great! Just a stone's throw from the main road but tucked away enough to be peaceful, it had a great location. The rooms were spacious and clean with hot water 24/7 and the balcony made for a great nook to chill out. ||||Raj was an absolute legend, we had an amazing stay and cannot recommend him and his guesthouse enough! ||||He also runs a trekking company, unfortunately, we didn't have time to do a proper trek but if/when we return to Nepal we'll be sure to...

Not enough can be said about how much we enjoyed staying at Pushpa and getting to know Raj. He's truly a fantastic guy and always tried to help us with our questions. He never pushed us to choose anything and gave us the best options - from cheapest to most comfortable and told us what he recommends too (and his recommendations were never geared towards most expensive) so we never felt like he was trying to sell us services all the time, unlike other guest houses. We realised that when we compared the price our Kathmandu hostel charged for a bus vs what Raj got us to go back to Kathmandu. He knows a lot about trekking too so he helped us make our itinerary and sat down with us many times to give us tips. We really enjoyed staying in Pokhara because of this experience and hope to be back again - the place is also very central. All in all, best place to stay, thanks for your...

Couldn’t recommend Pushpa Guest House enough! Raj, Anita and their 2 kids are the loveliest people who make you feel so welcome in their Guest House. I stayed here for a few weeks last year and again this year and it honestly feels like I’m coming home. Nice big clean rooms, hot water, fans, TVs (which even have English channels... a rarity in Nepal) and the location is second to none. Literally just off the main drag in Pokhara, so you get the convenience without the noise. Raj will also help you out with any questions and can arrange any of your trekking needs with his company Himalayan Dreamland Trekking which I used last year. All this at a more than fair price too!! You won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to...
