Monthly Rentals in Dhikur Pokhari

I had the best, most relaxing, time at Mahakuruna! I was doing a mix of working, hiking, relaxation. The place has a very nice construction, is tastefully decorated, and has nice additions like a wood fire and bath for if it gets a bit chilly. The view from the front door is also spectacular. Honestly, something that made the trip super simple and really elevated it was using Arun there (probably the only airbnb that comes with a chef 😆). All of the meals he cooked were both very healthy and delicious. I enjoyed every one. Walking down into the valley via all the villages was great. I would also recommend the hike up to Pitam Deurali that takes about 4hrs round trip. Add on Australian base camp too if you want to hike a bit longer, but be sure to take the route avoiding Pothana though, as there is a permit checkpoint there. I'm by no means advocating to skip getting a permit - if you wish to hike further afield, definitely get one! (from KTM or Pokhara in advance)

The air bnb is great, host was very friendly and communicative.

This little cottage was beautiful and it suited our (there were 3 of us) needs perfectly. It sat on the hillside a 10 minute walk from lakeside so it was calm & peaceful and we loved that it was right on the edge of the forest so we spent one afternoon hiking to Metlang. Tika was always extremely quick to respond to any messages and as a family, they went out of their way to help us with advice & recommendations. They even offer a laundry service which was very useful for after our trek. It was a great little find!

Suraj was very helpful and kind. It was a pleasure staying with him and his wife who actually cooks a great breakfast. We had a rooftop room which gave us the use of the full floor with hammock, table , etc and great views over the lake. It was like being at home away from home. Would definitely stay there again.
