The Pipal Tree – A Peaceful, Private Hideaway with a Soul
If you're looking for a place that brings you close to nature without compromising on comfort and privacy, The Pipal Tree is a true sanctuary. Nestled amidst the lush hills of Pokhara, this villa-style retreat offers breathtaking views, serene surroundings, and the kind of peaceful isolation that feels like a world away from everything—yet still just a short drive from the city center.
From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautifully designed and immaculately clean the place was. Surrounded by trees, mountains, and birdsong, it’s the perfect setting to unplug, breathe deeply, and truly unwind.
The hospitality here is what really sets The Pipal Tree apart. Mr. Thapa (the owner) and Mr. Narayan (the caretaker) were both outstanding—attentive, friendly, and extremely responsive. Communication was seamless throughout our stay. For instance, during a city-wide electricity outage, Mr. Thapa promptly kept us informed about the situation. Meanwhile, Mr. Narayan went out of his way to procure incense sticks to help manage the mosquitoes, since the electric adapters (Mortin) were temporarily offline. This kind of prompt and thoughtful service made a huge difference.
Despite staying next door, the hosts ensured we had complete privacy, always available but never intrusive. The villa itself was fully self-contained and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was a joy to use—modern, well-equipped, and perfect for cooking our own meals with groceries we picked up earlier. The bathrooms were spotless, stocked with essentials, and clearly well cared for.
One of the highlights was the private pool—amazingly clean, crystal-clear, and so refreshing. Considering its mountainous location, the upkeep of the pool was especially impressive. Even though another villa (Methlang Villa) is located adjacent, the layout and thoughtful landscaping ensured that we enjoyed total seclusion and quiet.
From sunrise views to stargazing at night, every moment at The Pipal Tree felt special. The air was crisp, the ambiance was calming, and the sense of space and stillness was exactly what we were craving.
In short, The Pipal Tree is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to be. Whether you're seeking solitude, reconnection with nature, or simply a well-equipped base for a peaceful getaway, this gem offers it all. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already dreaming about coming back.
