Dinesh House

Our Story

Our family-owned guesthouse sits on a hillside in a typical Nepalese village with panoramic views of the Annapurna Range (Annapurna, Dhaulagari, Machhapurchhe and Manaslu), both Begnas and Rupa Lakes, as well as the surrounding lush green forest and countryside. Our guesthouse is situated on the outskirts of our small yet lively village and is one of the longest-running in Begnas. From our peaceful mountainside perch, you can enjoy the rhythm of village life from a comfortable distance or immerse yourself in Nepali culture by taking a pleasant stroll along the village path. Nature walks, boating, hiking, swimming, and fishing activities can all be done within the surrounding property.

Dinesh's House, traveller rated #2 of 329 B&B's in the Pokhara region (TripAdvisor), is an ideal place to recharge in a quiet homestay environment with authentic Nepali hospitality, relaxation and spectacular views. You will experience exceptionally restful days and undoubtedly enjoy a quiet night's sleep. In our garden, guests can see coffee plants, vegetables, fruit trees and lots of flowers growing. Our terrace area, overlooking both lake and mountains, includes hammocks and seating areas for lounging, reading, napping, or simply taking in the views.

You can enjoy a delicious daily home cooked breakfast and dinner prepared with fresh produce straight from the organic garden. For lunch, there are restaurants in the area. We also produce Arabica coffee on the property so you can taste our own homegrown coffee too!

We have a total of 4 rooms, with shared or private Western-style bathrooms options (hot water), all with garden, lake, and mountain views, and one room with a private balcony.


Dinesh House is located near the well established Vipassana Meditation Center run and The Begnas Lake Resort.

Buses leave every half an hour from Pokhara Lakeside and every 7 minutes from the Pokhara main town Chipledhunga which takes 50 minutes to reach Begnas Bazaar. From Begnas Bazaar, buses leave hourly up to Sundari Danda or a taxi costs around Rs300. You can also take a direct taxi from Pokhara.

If walking from the Bazaar, the walk will take around 30 minutes in total which is mostly uphill. To reach the guesthouse you should turn off the road at the Derauli Temple. At the temple entrance, turn right and walk along the village path for 7 minutes, and then up the steps at the sign ‘Dinesh House’.

If you want a scooter and local taxi on hire, tourist bus ticket to Kathmandu, or local guide then Dinesh can arrange this for you.

We hope to welcome you soon!
