Pohkara backpacker

Vegan Way in Pokhara is hands down one of my absolute faves! 🌟 And get this—I first discovered it while staying at the Pohkara Backpacker, right in their cozy little courtyard! 🛏️ Let me tell you, I’ve got this unshakable trust in hostel restaurants—sometimes, those hidden gems whip up dishes that are way better than fancy standalone spots! 😋 Who would’ve thought, right? Nestled right by the stunning Phewa Lake, this cozy vegan spot feels like a little slice of heaven—you can even hear the water lapping gently while you eat! 🚣‍♀️ It all started when my Bulgarian friend dragged me there one lazy afternoon—let me admit, I was low-key dreading it at first, rolling my eyes like, "Ugh, here comes another sad 'white people meal' with zero flavor..." 😅 But BOY, was I proven wrong! 🙌 That first bite totally blew my mind—who knew vegan food could be this good?! Their mushroom burger? Chef's kiss a thousand times 🍔 Picture this: perfectly grilled portobello mushrooms oozing with vegan cheese, stacked with crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and a zesty sauce that ties it all together. The bun? Toasted to golden perfection with just the right amount of crunch. It’s so juicy and flavorful, I order it every single time—no exceptions! You gotta try it, trust me on this. And hey, this place is 100% vegan through and through! 🥗 Every meal and drink I’ve had here? Chef’s kiss 👏 From fresh smoothies that taste like sunshine 🍹 to hearty bowls packed with veggies, it’s all incredible. Seriously, you can order blindfolded and still end up with something amazing—no misses here! For dessert? The brownie is an absolute showstopper 🍫—rich, fudgy, with a slightly crackly top and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s so decadent, you’ll 100% forget it’s vegan. Just… do yourself a favor and skip the carrot cake, okay? 🥕🍰 It’s not terrible, but compared to the brownie? It’s like comparing a rainy day to a sunny beach—no contest. Oh, and the second floor? Chef's kiss again, but louder 📸 The large windows frame the lake perfectly—you can see the mountains towering in the distance, boats gliding across the water, and if you time it right, the sunset paints the sky in hues of orange and pink. 🌅 It’s so breathtaking, I always snap a million photos before even taking a bite! Do yourself a favor and book a table upstairs—you won’t regret it. Vegan or not, this place is a non-negotiable when you’re in Pokhara. 10/10, I’d happily eat here for breakfast, lunch, a. bv #Pokhara
