Arm Chair Views
Our Nepal Travel Experts have selected two mountain lodges in the Himalayas, accessible by jeep, that allow you to witness the mountains as they change colour and hue. Relax in the lodge surroundings watching the mountains including Annapurna South and the surrounding peaks or you can take a short walk to another local viewpoint and village.
Explore the Local Villages
On a clear day, sit on your private veranda and enjoy the spectacular mountain ranges of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu. For the more active, visit two local schools and the villages in which they are located. Pass large orange groves in a region that few tourists have visited so it retains much of its charm. Many Gurkhas have been recruited from these villages over the years and you can also visit the house of one of these retired Gurkhas.
Activities Around Pokhara
In the Annapurna Range, there is a trek suitable for every age and ability which can be fully guided and supported.If you aren’t a dedicated trekker, there’s plenty here for you too. Pokhara has numerous museums and there are some fascinating caves, waterfalls and Tibetan villages in the surrounding hills. Softer options include cultural village walks to meet the Gurung people, better known as Gurkhas. Mala Lodge is located in a village renowned for farmers specialising in beekeeping.

When to travel
With two distinct seasons, dry and wet, Nepal is at its best from October through to December. This is when the monsoon, which runs from June to September, come to an end and the dry season begins, leaving the countryside green, lush and bursting with life. Mountain views are clear and crisp across the Himalayans.
Visitors going to Nepal in January and February should expect freezing temperatures in the evening but with this brings fewer crowds arguably making it a perfect time to discover the country. March, April and May see the temperatures begin to climb and the humidity reaching its height before the monsoon rains arrive. The springtime is warmer but cloud build-up over the Himalayan peaks occurs.
