Thupten is an excellent host. Communication was great before I arrived, so I was clear what to expect. He made sure I arrived without incident. He made wonderful recommendations for food and things to do. I was most grateful for the care he provided during a bout of food poisoning the first night I arrived. He was attentive, helpful and allowed me the privacy required. The room was clean and comfortable. Every amenity was considered and provided. Each morning, Thupten would home make traditional Tibetan bread, served as part of breakfast. His passion to provide a complete experience, unique to each guest's needs, is apparent. I hope I will be able to return the favor someday. With deep gratitude in my heart, Karine.

En sortant de l'appartement vous avez le " nez " sur les montagnes . Si vous êtes chanceux bien sûr .!!!

Thrupten is a great host, he made sure my arrival and departure were smooth and helped me with onward travel. The room and ensuite was comfortable and very clean. The apartment is in a quiet location but only a stroll to Lakeside shops and restaurants. I felt well looked after: Fresh homemade Tibetan bread at breakfast and fresh fruit and hot water for masala tea made cold season more bearable. I spent a peaceful few days pottering around reading a couple of books kindly lent by Thrupten. Hard to keep track of all the kindnesses but all appreciated.

In short, you should stay in Thupten's place if you come to Pokhara! He called me just after I made a reservation and made sure we know how to get to his place without any problem. Not only he picked us up and showed us around, he told us how to best explore Pokhara like a local. Being a tour guide himself, Thupten is very knowledgable in various topics, from history to culture, you will never get bored talking to him. He helped us to book bus tickets, contact the paragliding company, make trekking permit and much more! Without him we may waste quite a bit of time in doing all these ourselves. His place is less than 10 minutes walk from the tourist bus station, and located just few minutes walk to the lakeside main road. His room is clean and well maintained, and he prepare breakfast (eggs, freshly made Tibetan bread and tea) for you every morning! My friend and I really enjoyed our time there, in fact we extended our stay from 2 to 4 nights. Thupten is more than a host, he has become a local friend of us now. With no doubt, I will stay his place again when if I go back to Pokhara in the future.

Thupten went out of his way to make me coffee every morning, to help me book paragliding and a flight with Yeti Airlines. He was always very helpful, kind and understanding. The room was very clean and pleasant. We also had a lot of fun making and eating momos. Thupten is a very thoughtful host!!!

Staying here was one of the more memorable parts of our visit to Pokhara. You won't be disappointed booking this place! It's a home-y, 'local' alternative to staying in the more crowded/commercial lakeside area, though you can walk there within minutes whenever you want to experience it. The house is in a quiet peaceful residential neighborhood just beyond the hotels and restaurants. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, with plenty of sunlight, fresh air, and peaceful views of the nearby vegetable gardens and beautiful mountains beyond! Overall, we found the 2-bed room more cozy, though you may prefer the other room if you you want a bigger bed. Both have a nice hot shower and comfy beds/linens. Perhaps the best part of staying here was the genuine hospitality of Thupten. He's an exceptional host who goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Thupten made our first time in Pokhara feel like coming home; he kindly greeted us at the bus stand and brought us to his place, briefly showing us the town along the way. He's happy to offer suggestions of the best restaurants or other places of interest around Pokhara, or even offer you assistance with your needs about town when he can, such as booking taxi, etc. He was more than helpful in advising us about getting around town, and kindly filled us in on how/where to get our permits for trekking, etc. The breakfasts made by him or his brother were a treat, with fresh homemade Tibetan bread every morning and sometimes tasty local yak cheese from a local village. The kitchen, like the rooms, is welcoming and clean, and we spent a lot of memorable time there sipping tea and chatting with other guests or Thupten and his brother. A highlight of our stay was on the last night, when he and his brother showed us how to make traditional Tibetan momos from scratch! Although they usually eat them with meat, they kindly used all-vegetarian ingredients to suit our diet. It was a tasty evening of never-ending momos, ;) and we felt like good friends by the end of it. If you're looking for a more local / personable place to stay in Pokhara, we highly recommend booking here :) Max & Steffi

He is a gr8 host very helping and please do take his Tibet tour its a must, I learned a lot out of it.

My friend and I have been traveling in Asia for a month and Thupten was the most attentive Airbnb host we've had on this trip. He personally picked us up at the airport, took us on an extensive orientation tour around Pokhara (for free), made us a delicious momos and soup one night (for free), set-up my paragliding appointment for me which gave me a discount, provided breakfast, and regularly offered tea or coffee. Thupten also runs a day tour company about Tibetan refugee settlements so we decided to sign up for his morning tour. We learned a lot and the tour was hassle-free (unlike many tours you encounter in Asia where you are pressured to buy something at a shop). It's clear why Thupten is a superhost.

Very close to the bus station. Staff was very helpful to give me a lift to catch the bus. Very quiet and it has a very nice ambience being around the neighbourhood. Value for money, highly recommended!

Wonderful people

I had a really great few weeks here. Five minutes walk from lakeside and 20 from the center of lakeside. Big flat with balcony, full kitchen with everything you need. Beds are extremely firm. You'll be managed by a family that lives downstairs who are very sweet but they don't seem to understand airbnb as the rental was organized by Ying who was not present or even in Nepal, and I was asked about money when I had already paid in full. Not a problem after I explained. The place was clean, and the neighborhood is generally quiet aside from obnoxious birds. Power cuts were periodic but the fast Wi-Fi stayed in during load shedding. Hot water. Incredible views of Macchapuchre from bedroom on clear days. Would absolutely stay here again.

ying has a friendly manner and is a nice person. i thought i wd be meeting her at the bus station but was met by shree krishna himself. on a motorbike. he had no spare helmet for me. i am not v comfortable on motorbikes and it wd have been good to know that this was the manner of transportation to be employed. i was then taken to ying's hotel and had some food for NPR550. we then rode again by bike to the flat. it was in a good neighbourhood. i had specifically asked for a quiet setting as i needed to write. generally it was fairly peaceful but in the second week they started to lay the road and this caused much smell and disruption. also people in the adjacent property would rise early in the morning (5 o'c) and play very loud music. this was very unsettling to me. i had dinner with the owner's family and they were lovely. the flat was very clean, all appliances worked, though the fridge motor made a frightful noise when the power was switched on. friendly neighbourhood and Gam the gentleman in the restaurant some 20 metres away was very good and made me some fine food every evening. there is a bakery next door but i found them to be quite surly there. the flat is around fifteen minutes walk to the beginning of the lakeside but i wd not recommend walking to the end of the lakeside and back to the flat - not in the heat. nirmal the owner was very helpful and seems to have everything under control. there was power back up and 24/7 internet access at reasonable speed - 3mbs. overall verdict - good 7/10

After seeing the photo's and reading the description of the appartment at Airbnb our expectations were high. Still, after we went to see the appartment and met the friendly owner and the rest of the family, we were even more determined to rent this beautiful appartment. The host made us feel at home straight away and the flat was PERFECT!! It had everything you can wish for,.. perfect bed, beautiful views, two balcony's and we didn't have to buy anything for the kitchen or for the rest of the flat because the owner has thought of everything you might need. After moving in it felt good straight away and a few days later we were invited to join the family in a important festival celebration (Tihar) and were given food and drinks and a beautiful Tika to make us feel part of their family. Another plus is that the location is quiet but only 5 minutes away from the Fewa lake and all the shops. Also the TV has a good picture and there is strong wifi available. In short, if we come back to Pokhara, this is the place we will go to again! It is PERFECT!!

Lovely, homely place. Hosts were very helpful!
