Hotel Chino Pokhara

Forty-eight steps from Phewa Lake's eastern shore, Hotel Chino sits on Lakeside Road's quieter Devisthan Path stretch, where lake views reach across the water to the Annapurna range beyond.

The spa runs a full menu of Nepali massage styles — foot, head, full-body, and couples treatments — alongside a hair and beauty salon rarely found at three-star properties. A tour desk coordinates Annapurna trekking permits, rowing boat hire on Phewa, and cooking classes drawing on the Newari kitchen tradition.

Pokhara's Lakeside strip is the staging point for most Annapurna circuit treks; the paragliding launch above Sarangkot is a twenty-minute taxi ride. The hotel's airport shuttle covers the 4 km to Pokhara Regional Airport.
