Perched 1,000 feet above the Pokhara Valley on a ridge of extraordinary beauty, Tiger Mountain Lodge is one of Nepal's great special-occasion places to stay: intimate, unhurried, and rooted in the history of this remarkable country.
Inaugurated by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1998, the lodge sits on the ridge that forms part of the original Royal Trek route walked by the Prince of Wales in 1980. Its 18 stone cottage rooms are furnished with Tibetan rugs and original artwork, each with a private veranda looking out across the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu ranges. The kitchen relies on fresh local produce and herbs grown on site, and the lodge has been a pioneer of regenerative tourism for over 25 years, independently verified by Yardstick UK.
What we love
- The veranda views across the Annapurna range are among the finest in Nepal and best enjoyed at sunrise with a cup of Nepalese tea
- We love Colonel Jimmy's library; it's a quietly wonderful collection of Himalayan mountaineering literature that tells the story of this part of the world better than any guidebook
- Opened with the help of Sir Edmund Hillary, the lodge carries a sense of history that very few places in Nepal can match
- Only 18 rooms, making it one of the most private and unhurried lodges in the country
The lodge sits 30 minutes from Pokhara's lakeside, so it doesn't lend itself to easy dipping in and out of town. Think of it as a retreat rather than a base for exploring
There are no air conditioning units, TVs or minibars, by deliberate design. This suits the ethos of the place perfectly, but is worth knowing at the price point
