An escape into the serene

Fish Tail Lodge, an upscale accommodation in Pokhara, is noticeably less expensive in recent times yet provides the same luxuries and breathtaking mountain views.

There is a lane separating Basundhara Park and Komagane Park in Pokhara; either side of the lane has vast open fields with an odd tree here and there along with small groups of people soaking in sunlight on wintry days. Instead of a door to Narnia, there is a boat (or a raft) waiting to take you into another world when you reach the end of this lane. The entrance of Fish Tail Lodge is an unconventional one; you can’t walk there but instead need to cross Phewa Lake to reach it. When it’s daylight, there are hotel staff waiting on both river banks and when it gets dark, there is a bell on the opposite riverbank of the lodge which you can ring to call a boat.
