Celebrating Excellence: The Nanee & Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge Shine in Condé Nast Traveller’s Best Hotels in Nepal
We are overjoyed to share the exciting news that The Nanee and Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge have been featured in Condé Nast Traveller Middle East’s list of the Best Hotels in Nepal. This recognition shines a well-deserved spotlight on two of Nepal’s finest independently owned properties—each offering a uniquely meaningful experience rooted in authenticity, cultural richness, and sustainability.
That’s not just a testament to exceptional hospitality—it’s a celebration of independent ownership, cultural preservation, and sustainable, responsible tourism.
Both hotels stand out as proudly independently owned. In a world increasingly dominated by large chains, these local gems preserve authenticity and enrich Nepal’s distinctive cultural landscape. The Nanee shines a light on Nepal’s creative and cultural vibrancy, while Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge honors tradition and sustainability with a deep respect for nature. Their commitment to people, place, and purpose makes every stay a powerful, personal experience.
The Nanee – A Creative Celebration of Nepali Culture
Tucked in the heart of Bhaktapur, The Nanee is a modern boutique hotel that beautifully bridges past and present. Rather than relying on nostalgia, The Nanee celebrates the rich cultural identity of Nepal through artistic expression, thoughtful design, and curated experiences. From traditional motifs to contemporary craftsmanship, every detail is a tribute to the country’s creative soul.
In a fast-paced world, The Nanee dares to slow down and spotlight Nepal’s living culture—supporting local artists, makers, and storytellers. Their inclusion in this prestigious list is a testament to their thoughtful approach and unwavering passion to share the soul of Nepal with global travellers.
