Vacation rentals in Manakamana

Beautiful accommodation, modern, comfortable, and clean. Excellent internet if you need to work online. A mountain trail right behind the house. Wonderful family, I'm very happy with my time here. I will come back

Upon arriving at Tika’s home, she noted that most guests book here for weeks and sometimes months at a time. After a three-night stay it was easy to see why. Tika and her husband Madhav are wonderfully welcoming people who have mastered the art of hospitality. Located in a quieter, more private part of town, this is a well-equipped, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable space only ten minutes’ walk from the lakefront. I don’t think it’s a stretch to contend this is the nicest airbnb in all of Pokhara, and perhaps even superior to its hotels. Look no further if this is available — you won’t be disappointed.

Menuka and family were so welcoming and helpful to me during my four weeks in Pokhara. I was very well looked after, cooked amazing food and the house really does have beautiful scenery! Ganga’s place is ideal if you want to experience the real Nepalese family side of Pokhara and is extra handy for anyone studying/working at Manipal hospital (as I was) which is only a 20 minute walk away (or 5 minutes on the back of Menuka’s scooter!)

Father, mother and daughter (Shyam, Bishnu and Shilpa) live in this well cared for home. Both parents have a good knowledge of English and the daughter is almost fluent. They are very hospitable and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and well fed. The ensuite bathroom provides you with your own privacy but you are welcome to join the family in their living room. They have lived locally for many years and know everyone around and can provide any directions you require. The family is keen to assist you in any way possible. The wifi is a good speed and is reliable. I recommend this place for singles and couples, and even small families. It is suitable for both short and long stays.

Absolutely outstanding experience. We loved everything about our stay and definitely will come back. Ramakanta and his family were very welcoming and treated us like dear friends. The house and the land itself feels like a unique and magical place, existing with a total harmony with nature. At the same time, there is everything you might need, i.e. hot water and a Wi-Fi. Don’t expect hotel-level treatment though, it is more of an eco home stay where you will be in contact with the family most of the time. Just come with an open heart and you will love this place.

I had a loverly time at this 2 bed 1st floor apartment. It was quiet, calm and peaceful which can be hard to find in Pokhara. I recommend staying In the area to north east of lakeside near the forest. After trying different hotels I found this to be away from noisy tourism. The energy of this place is fantastic with many people staying for weeks and months which gives the place grounding stability. There is no headless chicken tourist energy here. Tika and her husband are very generous, authentic people who are masters of their craft both socially and practically.

I have been in the spacious house of Keshabs family for 12 days. The sleeping room and the bathroom are clean and decent. The house is situated in a quiet location near a busy road that brings you in a ten minute walk to the Phewa lake. I have had a wonderfull time and found me realy at home. The family is very friendly and hospitable. I loved the place and the family!

I had an amazing time staying with Milan. Milan really makes sure you become a part of her family. They are warm and generous - happy to chat with you as much or as little as you want. I only stayed a few nights but feel I got to know them really well and hung out with them a lot. For a tourist, it’s a great way to experience Nepal and understand it better than you otherwise would. Milan provides two meals a day; one of these is a delicious dinner that is better than any Nepali food you can find in Pokhara’s restaurants! Milan’s homestay is located in the “real” Pokhara (i.e. where locals actually live), so it is ideal if you want to experience a true flavour of a Nepali city. Having said that, transport links to the more touristy lakeside are good: Milan’s family will always be happy to book you a taxi, you can take a direct bus, or download the excellent Patau app (a sort of Nepali Uber that offers taxis and cheaper scooters) if you have a Nepali SIM card. Milan has a washing machine which guests are free to use. This is ideal if you have a longish stay in Pokhara, or if you are going to/returning from a trek. Reliably hot showers are another bonus. The house itself and the room you will be staying are really nice and comfortable. I would highly recommend Milan’s homestay - I will never forget my time with her and hope to be back soon. Thank you Milan!
