Pokhara's most acclaimed boutique resort, combining Western standards with the architecture and culture of Nepal's Western Himalayas. Set in the Dam Side area with 68 beautifully appointed rooms, Temple Tree features two restaurants, a large outdoor pool, and a full-service spa. The lush tropical gardens, warm staff, and easy walk to restaurants and the lakeside make it the benchmark for luxury in Gandaki Province.
Temple Tree Resort & Spa sits in the Damside quarter on the quieter southern end of Phewa Lake, a short walk from the boat dock and roughly fifteen minutes on foot from the busier restaurant strip of central Lakeside. The property is built around the architecture and craft traditions of Nepal's Western Himalayas, with carved wood detailing, pitched tiled roofs, and courtyards arranged through tropical gardens that give the resort a secluded, garden-village feel despite its central Pokhara location. The 68 rooms are split between garden-view and pool-view categories, all finished with locally made furniture and modern bathrooms; suites add separate sitting areas and private balconies overlooking the grounds. Two restaurants anchor the dining program, one serving Nepali and Indian dishes and the other an all-day continental and international menu, with breakfast served either indoors or poolside. The large outdoor pool is the social heart of the property in the afternoon, paired with a full-service spa offering Ayurvedic and Western treatments, plus a small fitness center for guests training before or after a trek. Service is attentive and concierge-led, with staff regularly arranging airport transfers, trekking permits, and day trips into the Annapurna foothills, making the resort equally suited to honeymooners, families, and travelers bookending a Himalayan trek with comfort.
