Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

Cottage Bungalow (twin / double / triple bed)

The spacious rooms, with breathtaking views and set in private gardens, have verandas or balconies, attached bathrooms and are furnished with twin or king-sized beds. The walls are hung with watercolours of the area by British artist, Luke Piper, and historic photographs by Col. Jimmy Roberts.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge fully supports and practices responsible conservation tourism. Operating in the middle hills of Nepal, where the surrounding area is under diverse pressure, it is committed to the protection and enhancement of the natural environment, the people and communities. The lodge strives to ensure that all its operations have the smallest negative environmental impact possible by reducing consumption of fuel, water, generation of waste, and minimising the use of chemicals. Blending into the landscape, the lodge was constructed in a manner that respects traditional architectural design. The grounds are natural and in keeping with the area’s natural biodiversity, and most of the salads, herbs, and some vegetables are grown organically in the lodge’s gardens. Local produce is bought from within the village and immediate area at a fair price.

The lodge prioritises all appointments for job applicants from the immediate community, and raises understanding of responsible tourism within the community such as litter and refuse management. Public water taps were installed to provide a reasonable water supply to the local people. In addition to supporting local schools including the salary of one teacher and providing teaching materials, books, paper, and posters, the lodge also manages the sponsorship funded by guests of various children from disadvantaged backgrounds who would otherwise not be able to go to school. Working closely with local partners, national, and international charities, the lodge also develops and supports local environmental enhancement projects. Other aid comprises a range of biodiversity monitoring projects, and various social development and welfare activities.
