Traditional stone houses with slate roofs welcome you to this Gurung village with spectacular Annapurna views. Trek to nearby Poon Hill for sunrise panoramas or join local families for authentic cultural performances in the village square.
This unique small hotel offers a beautiful view of the lake. One can sit in the top floor restaurant enjoying delicious, freshly prepared food while gazing at the peaceful view of hills embracing the tranquil lake. The owner is a very talented wood carver. All the furnishings in the guest rooms are beautifully carved. Even the hangers! A truly unique experience!

We had an amazing stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The service exceeded our expectations, and the atmosphere made our trip even more special. Highly recommended—we would definitely stay here again.

An unforgettable post-trek retreat—beautiful design, serene atmosphere, and exceptional service
My husband and I stayed at Dorje’s for three nights after completing the Annapurna Circuit, and it was the best decision we made on our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt deeply cared for—greeted at the Pokhara airport, welcomed with a refreshing drink, and allowed to check in early, which we really appreciated after days on the trail.
The property is stunning, with thoughtful architecture...

Staff served from heart, right from greeting the front desk made sure we have all that is needed. It felt like we are parting family. Stayed twice en route to and from Muktinath. Would recommend highly to others

Raniban really is such a special place. It’s away from all the hustle and bustle of Pokhara and is so high up, perfect for viewing the mountains! Food is great and not too overpriced. The room and bathroom was lovely and comfortable however all rooms are exactly the same, you only pay more for the rooms with the best views...but you can easily look at the views from the communal garden. Beware if the roads are bad you have to walk up a lot of steps to get here! There’s not much to do up here in...

My time at Waterfront Resort was an incredible experience, largely thanks to Yousef. During an unprecedented emergency, he went above and beyond. By far exceeding what would ever be expected of his role. I am extremely grateful for the care and support I received. I’d highly recommend staying here.
