Boutique luxury resort with 68 beautifully appointed rooms near Pokhara's Phewa Lake. Extensive facilities include large swimming pool, full-service spa, and multiple dining options in lush tropical gardens.
Temple Tree Resort & Spa is a luxury boutique resort set on landscaped grounds in the Gaurighat area of Pokhara, approximately 3 kilometres south of the main Lakeside tourist district and within 1 kilometre of the southern shore of Phewa Lake. The property takes its name from the large sacred fig trees — revered in Nepali religious tradition — that shade the garden grounds and give the resort its distinctively lush, tropical character. The resort comprises 68 rooms and suites across several low-rise garden blocks, supplemented by a small number of private pool suites. Room interiors are finished in warm natural materials — reclaimed wood panelling, stone-trimmed bathrooms, handwoven cotton textiles — and all units have private balconies or terraces overlooking the gardens. Categories range from Deluxe rooms to Pool Suites with private plunge pools set within the garden foliage. The outdoor swimming pool is one of the largest in Pokhara, set within a tropical garden with sun-lounger decks and a pool bar serving light meals and cocktails. The full-service spa offers signature treatments drawing on Ayurvedic and Tibetan traditions, including herbal steam sessions, four-hand massage, and body treatments using locally sourced botanical oils. Dining covers the main restaurant serving Nepali and international cuisine with an emphasis on local produce, the pool bar, and private in-room dining. The resort arranges boat trips on Phewa Lake, guided visits to Pokhara's World Peace Pagoda, and trekking permit assistance for Annapurna region routes. Its quieter Gaurighat location away from the Lakeside commercial strip makes the resort more suited to couples and honeymooners seeking tranquility than to travellers who need immediate access to Lakeside's outfitters and evening restaurants.

Tips for visiting
- Gaurighat is quieter than central Lakeside — if proximity to trekking outfitters and evening restaurants matters to your itinerary, factor in the 3-kilometre distance and plan for regular tuk-tuk or taxi use
- Phewa Lake's southern shore, a peaceful stretch with relatively few visitors, is a short walk from the resort gate
- The spa's four-hand massage is the signature treatment; book it for your first afternoon as it fills quickly during high season
- The pool is most pleasant in the morning before afternoon sun becomes intense; the pool bar opens around 10 a.m.
- The World Peace Pagoda requires a 20-minute lake crossing plus a 20-minute uphill walk; the concierge arranges the complete excursion including a guide and return boat

Does the resort have views of the Annapurna range?
