Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

The lodge sits on a ridge on the eastern side of the Pokhara valley, a short drive from the airport and above the valley floor. Lakeside and Phewa Lake are roughly 30–45 minutes away by car. That distance is the point: nights are quiet and the view is of mountains rather than town, though we can easily arrange dinners or boat trips on the lake.

From October to March, and above all at sunrise. In those months Machapuchare and the Annapurna range are usually clear in the early morning, with cloud building on some afternoons. In April and May haze is common by mid-morning, and from June to September the monsoon often hides the peaks for days at a time.

Yes. Families enjoy the pool, the space around the cottages and the guided walks to nearby villages, which can be shortened for younger children. The ridge has steps and uneven paths, so toddlers need close supervision. We usually book connecting or adjacent cottages and arrange early dinners for families with small children.
