A short drive up from Pokhara town and you quickly leave behind a rather linear real estate development up a hill that clearly shows signs of having been preserved from irresponsible grazing and mindless usurping of forests. Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge is spread on a spur ridge that runs east to west and overlooks the mountains and the Pokhara Valley. The southern part of the ridge is dotted with quiet, sparsely populated hamlets and tiny villages while the northern part is well wooded and includes a community forest. These villages date back to some 200 years and depend on agriculture growing crops like millets, maize, rice, mustard and vegetables.
Soulitude in the Himalayas truly gives one a taste of living in a mountain home. Ample use of natural materials like wood and stone blend well with the modern construction, sloping roofs and green environs, making the stay restive and comfortable at the same time. The unobstructed view of the mountains from all the floors is the single most delightful thing about the property. Inside, modern comforts meet tasteful cottage-like décor with fireplaces, minimalistic yet cosy wooden interiors and ample view of the Himalayas.
The concept is to have the facilities and amenities, but still get a taste of mountain life. Given that the property is so well equipped, this is a great place to work from. A refreshing ambience of the green sloping hills and fresh air, is surely more productive than city offices.
The 11 rooms on the property are wonderfully unlike each other, though equally charming in aesthetics and views. Rooms are divided into different categories – Suite, Junior Suite, Deluxe Double and three bed-room cottages, each christened a state of mind. All rooms are wood paneled, with decks that look out to the farming terraces carved out of the hills, gardens or the Himalayas. Artefacts collected from around the world and some from the family’s collection, books on various subjects, art on the wall, the colorful patch-work bed covers and embellished cushions, the sense of arty detailing and thought can surely not be missed in each room.
Delicious home-cooked food is the hallmark of mindful hospitality at Soulitude. Flavorful, simple and with great nutritional value, the property prides itself on creating dishes that you would remember for long. The beautifully tended gardens – collection of climbers and flowering shrubs lead down the hill to a herb garden of thyme, rosemary and Stevie, that invariably find themselves on your plate.
Tea and coffee making machines are available in the rooms for convenience. Enjoy meeting other guests at the community dining hall in the main house. While the day can be spent in splendid isolation, it’s nice to spend the evenings with like-minded travelers. Special experiences include AL fresco private dining under the skies or in the midst of nature. This can be arranged on special occasions if you book ahead.
