Description
Tiger Mountain Lodge is situated 10km outside Pokhara in an incredible position overlooking the Annapurna range and the Pokhara Valley. The lodge is surrounded by natural gardens of fruit trees, shrubs and bamboo providing a haven for wildlife including over 275 species of butterflies.
There are only eleven rooms here, making it a quiet and exclusive place to stay and perfect for relaxation after a trek. Every room is incredibly private and has its own veranda with spectacular views of either the valley or the Annapurnas. Rooms are elegantly decorated with Tibetan hand woven carpets and other local artefacts. A range of massage treatments are available in the comfort of your own room. Personal yoga sessions and meditation training are also offered to totally relax and unwind.
Both Nepali and Continental food is served in the main dining room and many of the ingredients are grown organically in the gardens of the property. For those wanting to do nothing there is a spectacular infinity pool looking out to the mountains or for the more active there are plenty of local walks around the property as well as the opportunity to head down to Pokhara for some sightseeing. Other activities in the area include paragliding, golf, tennis, birdwatching and fishing.

When to travel
Nepal has a Monsoonal climate with four main seasons. Autumn and spring are the two most favourable seasons for visiting Nepal. Autumn (September to early December) brings in clear weather with sunny days and warm nights. Spring (March to May) with occasional rain falls. From June to September, is the monsoon season. Uncomfortable time to visit as the climate of Nepal at this time of year brings about hot weather and rain falls almost every day.
