Nice outdoor space with greenery, big beds in dorm. Staff very friendly, helpful with info about trekking and surroundings. Location close to Fewa Lake. Tropical garden with hammocks good for relaxing mornings. Dogs are friendly around the hostel. Rooms clean and comfortable, facilities top-notch. Good spot for meeting people and exploring Pokhara area.
