Situated within the city limits of Kathmandu, Gokarna Forest Resort is located inside a serene temperate 700-acre old-growth forest, the former private Royal hunting grounds of the Kings of Nepal.
A winding road climbs through the forest up to the main complex, comprising a subtly majestic Malla period architecture, Rana period lodges and sanctuaries harmoniously blending with nature.
Further on, exotic Heritage cottage rooms are set beside a century-old restored Hunter’s lodge. The Spa includes a variety of rejuvenating courses, emphasizing Ayurvedic treatments. Take a swim in the indoor pool and play a round of golf on the roof of the world.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Housed in a heritage building in central Kathmandu, the beautiful Yak & Yeti Hotel is steeped in history. Originally the home of the country’s first hotelier, Russian émigré Boris Lisanevich, this elegant hotel incorporates parts of a historic Rana-dynasty palace. Two more recent wings house the 270 classically-styled rooms, with many of these offering views over the carefully landscaped gardens. Among the dining facilities, the Chimney Restaurant is the Yak & Yeti’s most famous eatery.
Dwarika’s Hotel is a museum-like complex showcasing a wide range of traditional Nepali art. All of its 71 rooms display original works of art – they have four-poster beds and deluxe bathrooms with sunken baths. There is also a presidential suite and two further standard suites. Room service offers light refreshments and the hotel has two restaurants, a bar, a library, and a meeting room. Massages are also available. The hotel is close to the national heritage sites of Pashupatinath and Boudhanath. It is in the heart of a busy and colourful street with people and farm animals constantly passing by.
