Key Highlights

Bird Walk to Temple

A gentle evening walk takes guests through the forest toward a peaceful temple that sits above the valley. Along the way, colorful Himalayan bird species can be spotted among the trees and branches. The walk lasts about an hour and requires no special fitness level, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. Views from the temple look out over the valley and mountains as the sun begins to set.

Sarangkot Day Trip

A half-day trip brings guests to Sarangkot, one of the most well-known viewpoints near Pokhara. The hilltop is famous for its sunrise views that stretch across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges in golden light. For those wanting more adventure, paragliding and zipline activities are available at the same location. The spot also provides a view of Pokhara Valley and the blue waters of Phewa Lake spread out below.

Australian Camp Trek

This full-day hike covers about five to six hours of walking with some uphill sections that lead to Australian Camp. The trail winds through hills and forests before opening up to wide views of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre mountains. Lunch is served outdoors with the peaks as a backdrop, giving everyone time to rest and take in the scenery before heading back.

Lwang Tea Village Hike

The journey to Lwang Village takes six to seven hours and passes through rhododendron forests, paths that follow the river, and terraced fields carved into the hillsides. In the village, guests visit tea gardens where families grow and harvest tea using methods passed down over time. Sampling fresh local tea and talking with the villagers adds a personal touch that makes the long hike feel worthwhile.

More about this escape

Nana Mountain Resort opened in 2025 as a place where guests can slow down and reconnect with themselves in the mountains. The property sits in Dhampus village, about an hour from Pokhara, and shows off views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre peaks from every room. Built using traditional Gurung methods and materials from the local area, the resort feels like it belongs in the landscape. Guests spend their time doing yoga at sunrise, getting massages, walking through nearby villages, and eating meals made with vegetables and dairy from Dhampus farms. The staff takes care of small details and makes everyone feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
