Temple Tree Resort and Spa sits in Gaurighat in Lakeside, Pokhara, a two-minute walk from the shore of Phewa Lake. The booking page shows a four-star property class. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a children's pool, a swim-up bar and a poolside bar, a full-service spa with a sauna and a health club, and bicycle rentals. There are two restaurants, a bar and lounge, a coffee shop and a snack bar, and a 24-hour front desk with a concierge and laundry. Free WiFi, free self parking and a free roundtrip airport shuttle on request are listed, which saves money and effort on arrival. Breakfast is a buffet available for a fee, served from early morning to mid-morning.
Lakeside is the best-connected part of town, and this location gives you the whole strip on foot. The lake is a short stroll away, the Ratna Mandir area is within a short walk, and the booking page puts the Pokhara Museum and the International Mountain Museum a few minutes by car, with the airport about seventeen minutes away. Boat jetties, cafes and trekking agencies are close, which makes it easy to book sunrise tours, flights and boat trips in person. The walk back after dinner is simple, and taxis are easy to find.
The resort feel is the draw. The pool area, with its swim-up bar and children's pool, makes a good place to recover after a long trek or an early flight, and the spa is useful for tired legs, though massage services need a reservation. The hotel has no elevator, so ask for a ground floor or low floor room if stairs are a problem, and note that accessibility is described as limited.
Check-in begins at midday and check-out is at noon, with express options for both, and the minimum check-in age is sixteen. Pets and service animals are not allowed.
Temple Tree suits couples who want a comfortable base with leisure facilities, families who like a pool and trekkers who want a recovery stay at the end of a Poon Hill or Australian Camp walk. Breakfast is not free, so compare the cost with the cafes outside. Book early for October and November, ask for a quiet room away from the bar and ask the hotel about the shuttle timing before you fly in.
