The Butterfly Lodge in Pokhara is a great option. Rooms run the gamut from shared bathroom in the old building to private bathroom and balcony with a lake view in the new building range from $6 to $60. It has a garden with swings, tables and loungers. It’s a great place to rest and relax. The lodge is a family run establishment and they are extremely friendly and helpful and have a great sense of quality service. Showers have good water pressure and temperature.
We’d highly recommend the place and came back here twice.
Our only beef was with the Spa. It seems they rent out some space in a small building on their property to semi-associated spa. The spa sucks. The towels and sheets are dirty to the point of disgusting and the masseuses don’t redeem it one bit. They are poorly trained both in the physical aspects of the art of massage and the metaphysical aspects such as service. To add insult to injury its extremely overpriced. The higher price probably deceived us into thinking it would be a “luxury” experience. It was not. The lodge needs to find a new spa operator or at the very least disassociate themselves by recommending another spa off the premises.
