Dinesh House

The place looks like heaven. Dinesh and his family were really kind to me. A real good homestay.

If you are looking for a busy, action packed resort then look away however, if you are wanting a secluded home stay where you can fully relax, surround yourself with nature and be accepted into a lovely family home then this is the place for you. You can walk down to the lakeside restaurants or lie in the hammock overlooking the lake and the whole Annapurna mountain range. I have never had breakfast with a better view, it was truly amazing to see the whole mountain range at sunrise. The Dal Bhat was delicious and it was a pleasure to enjoy it with Dinesh and discuss how the home stay was founded.

It is hard to get to given the road construction at the bottom of Begnas tal. If you get the local bus from Pokhara, get off at the Begnas Tal bus stop, walk across the road construction (50 metres) and then get a taxi from the other side to the house. There is not a lot to do in the area, so bare that in mind when deciding how long you want to stay and relax for. I think 2 nights is perfect.

Everything was honestly perfect! The room was really comfy and sweet, we got a little hut to ourselves with well functioning WC and wifi, comfy bed, fan etc. The property has a beautiful peaceful garden where we spent a lot of time - gorgeous views of the lakes and huge mountains. And the host family were amazing! Super lovely, welcoming and helpful, their sweet cat is adorable and the dinners they made for us were delicious ! We had an amazing time, plus the surrounding location is incredible.

No problems at all :)

The place was in a peaceful location. Our bedroom was spacious and had nice furniture. We had some interesting chats with the other guests which made the experience.

Communication could have been a bit clearer with the hosts. We got offered a tea with our meal and then charged for it which we didn’t expect. Dinner is at a set time.

Dinesh and Dipa are the most kind people. The food and their own organic grown coffee. The view on a clear day.

The view of the Himalayan mountain was excellent. The host family were very helpful and hospitable. The nature and Bengas Lake were also beautiful.

None.

Nice and quiet location, if you wish to stay in a local village with nature and hiking, then this is your place. Dinesh and his family will help you with everything. I would stay in the deluxe double room upstairs with a private bathroom, that is super nice and it also has softer beds than the budget room.

Just to let you know, you need to walk about 5-10 minutes with your luggage to get to the place, there is no road for cars. But is it a very good walkway. Unfortunately the mountains had a very thick cloud cover the whole time we were there, so we couldn't see them at all, but I'm sure the visit is more enjoyable of you see the mountains while enjoying your breakfast. The beds could be a bit softer in the budget twin room. Also the room is very small, there is no space for luggage. We changed to the deluxe room after one night and it was perfect.

10/10 Homestay! Nestled in such a beautiful garden, the nature is honestly incredible (amazing view of the lake and mountains, colourful birds and butterflies, waking up everyday to the birds and insects singing). Place is a 5 min walk from a cute quaint village that has loads of goats, and a 1h walk through a forest trail to Begnas lake. The family are so kind, and Dipa she cooks the best banana pancakes and omelet for breakfast! As well as the Dal Bhat they serve for dinner (all fresh ingredients from their garden). I stayed in the mud house room which is simple but honestly so cute I loved it.

Loved everything

Dinesh and his family are so welcoming and friendly. The place is like a little paradise right on top of the hill with amazing views of the mountains and lake. 100% recommend!!
