About

Bajthala Traditional Homes is an ecological resort that provides an experience rich in both natural beauty and cultural diversity for the adventurous traveler.

The location is set high on a hill overlooking the Pokhara valley and thus provides extensive photographic opportunities. Built on the crest of the hill the location is also shared by black kite, harpy & white-tailed eagles who use the tall pine trees to roost in. The panorama to the north includes a wide view of the Himalaya, from Dhaulagiri in the far west, with the massif of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna-II, III & IV to Manaslu in the far east.

The resort offers a break in the journey and a breath of fresh air en-route to Pokhara from Kathmandu, but it’s an amazing destination itself. It is the starting point of many treks in the region, including the Millennium Trek, involving homestay experiences long the route. The resort itself can also be used as a base for a number of day hikes which connect with all other treks within the Annapurna region.

It’s also a great place for a stand-alone activity. Village and cultural visits, bird watching excursions and forays into the jungle to observe and appreciate the ecological diversity of the local flora.

The villages that dot the hills nearby are home to a number of diverse ethnic groups including Tibetan, Kumal, Magar, Gurung, Chettrie and Brahaman and of course their culture and architecture.
