The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

The snow-capped mountain backdrop, home to the world's highest peaks, lush vegetation, rice fields, and crystal-clear rivers create the unique scenery of The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas, tranquilly located at the foot of the Annapurna Massif. The soothing Ayurveda treatments, the mild high-altitude climate (about 800m), and the location on a wooded hill on the south shore of Lake Begnas are ideal for rejuvenation. The non-smoking resort is accessed from Begnas Bazaar by a romantic boat transfer, or alternatively from Pokhara (about 15 km) by four-wheel drive in case of uncertain weather conditions (due to the hillside location, this can be challenging). Prior to your stay, you have the opportunity to embark on a wonderful tour through beautiful Nepal (5 days/4 nights, direct link below).

Dining & Leisure

The "Jimire" restaurant with sun terrace serves typical local, Indian, and international dishes (predominantly vegetarian) as well as personalised Ayurvedic meals recommended by the Ayurveda doctor à la carte. The ingredients are mostly from our own organic cultivation, our own fish farming, or from organic farmers in the vicinity. Lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan options are also available. In addition to the restaurant, there is a bar and a pool bar.

Himalayan Nature Spa with Ayurveda Center

The professional Ayurveda experts, including an Ayurveda doctor from Kerala and Nepal, as well as several therapists with years of experience, offer you classic Indian Ayurveda refined with alternative Nepalese elements in the heated treatment rooms. The Ayurvedic remedies are mostly sourced from the resort's garden or the surrounding area.

Daily, two yoga sessions are conducted by the hotel's own yoga teachers, trained in Patanjali and Hatha Yoga. Additionally, yoga retreats with esteemed external yoga teachers are offered. The programme is completed by meditation sessions in the "Silent Zone".

Free Time

The resort features a rock pool on the slope with spring water and no chemical additives. Enjoy and relax on the sun terrace. The numerous excursion options, such as the Shaman Institute in Kathmandu or the many monasteries in the vicinity, look forward to your visit. Nearby, Phewa Lake in Pokhara invites you for a stroll. Hiking at the foot of Annapurna for a breathtaking Himalayan view. Begaskot, a mountain viewpoint about 1.2 miles from the accommodation, is definitely worth a visit.

Activities such as ultralight aircraft flights, paragliding, guided mountain bike tours, rafting, kayaking, and canyoning are available both as day trips and multi-day excursions and can be booked on site.

I enjoyed over 3 weeks of Panchakarma at Begnas Lake Resort. As soon as I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owners and felt very comfortable and welcome. It is a very beautiful resort adapted to nature. The enchanting houses and their furnishings are very authentic! Nothing here is artificial or imitation. Throughout the day you can hear a concert of cicadas and other gifted animals, which has a very positive effect on the human brain. The lake offers a good opportunity to linger and relax. The symphytic Ayurveda doctor is very attentive, even though my English is not so good, he understood me and my problems very well. The therapists are very friendly and followed up on all my wishes and problems. The very helpful staff fulfilled my every wish. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and always on hand the whole time. The yoga and meditation sessions were very in-depth and professional! The whole Ayurveda vacation was simply healing for me personally, for my body as well as for my soul!!!! Everyone at Begnas Lake works with the heart! Thank you for this time and see you soon!!!!!
