Raniban Retreat
Pokhara, Nepal | Youth HostelsStarting at $27 per person
Featured Accommodations (See All)
We say that Raniban is the hotel with the best view in Pokhara, and we believe it. From our terraces, gardens and roof top, you can see three 8000 metre peaks, and many smaller ones, the paragliders over Sarankot, the calm waters of Fewa Tal, the World Peace Pagoda, and the far away city of Pokhara.
Whichever you choose, our rooms are cosy and clean. Seven rooms have a double width picture window looking directly out on the amazing view of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Fishtail. Three rooms have a slightly less direct view of the mountains.
Our panoramic restaurant serves food to match the view, with many ingredients grown in our own terraced gardens.
Raniban Retreat is for you if you want to rest after trekking to the high mountains, to recover from your travels, or hectic life in the city.
We offer a great mix of location, tranquillity and good food.
Raniban retreat's nearest neighbour is the World Peace Pagoda, which sits on a wooded ridge above the City of Pokhara and Lake Fewa.
We are a few minutes beyond, and above, the Pagoda as you travel on foot or by vehicle from Pokhara.
Apart from the Pagoda, our neighbours are the paragliders across the lake at Sarangkot, and three of the highest mountains in the world, spread out in a 200km vista.
The weather is our backdrop too, rolling up and down the valley with ever changing moods.
There are two ways to get to Raniban:
By Boat and Trek
Row (or be rowed) across the tranquil Lake Fewa from the heart of Lakeside, stopping at Taal Barahi Mandir - the lake Temple - for spiritual sustainancem if you wish.
Then walk up the well maintained trail for 45 minutes to the World Peace Pagoda - stopping at one of the tea houses on the way if you need a break.
Linger at the Pagoda for a while, learning about the significance of this active Buddhist stupa, and the stroll for 10 minutes along the ridge to the gates of Raniban.
By Vehicle
By taxi or private car from Lakeside, the bus park or the airport you pass through Damside and past Devi's Falls, following signs to the World Peace Pagoda, and to Raniban Retreat.
After 10 minutes, reach the top parking & access to the Pagoda on your right. 50 metres further, on the left are the gates to Raniban and our private parking.
By either route, the last few minutes are on foot - up 396 stone steps to a welcome drink on our terrace.
Breakfast Included, Restaurant, Laundry, Airport Pick Up, Bar, Free Carpark, Meeting Facilities
