In-Depth Review
Mount Kailash Resort is a strong-value 3-star in Pokhara: rates start around $43 a night, but you get a pool and a wide garden that are hard to come by at this price. It carries an 8.4/10 overall.
Rooms and decor
Rooms are standard 3-star — clean, decently sized, with air-con, a TV, free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom. A few are starting to show their age, but they still work fine. The real star is the pool set in the garden: it's not huge, but the setting is pleasant, good for a swim or a sit-down after a day out. Families who stay here report that the kids love it.
Food and amenities
The on-site restaurant serves Nepali, Indian and international food at fair prices, and it's tasty. Breakfast isn't included in every package, so check the conditions when you book. Staff are friendly and helpful, and they'll point you toward things to do around town. There's also generous free parking if you arrive by car.
Location and getting there
It sits in Lakeside Pokhara, in a fairly quiet pocket of the area. It's about a 5-minute walk to the Phewa Lake shore and Lakeside Main Road, which makes strolling along the water and finding somewhere to eat easy. The wide garden is what makes it feel like a countryside resort even though you're in the city's main tourist zone.
Things to know before booking
The amenities are basic 3-star — fine for the price, but don't expect more than the essentials. There's no spa on site. And some rooms are showing their age, so it's worth asking for a room on the 2nd floor or higher, which tend to be quieter with better airflow.
Our take
Mount Kailash Resort works best for families and groups of friends who want a pool on a budget. A wide garden at this price is rare, and that makes it good value for a 3-star in Lakeside Pokhara.
