Hidden Paradise is genuine expression of Nepali hostility. It oversees the breathtaking Lake Fewa. It is just far enough away from the hustle of Pokhara city life to be quiet, but close enough to be anyway within 15 minutes.. We are an American family traveling though Nepal with a 5 year old son and 5 month off daughter, and Hidden Paradise Guest House came recommended by friends who live locally in Pokhara. We did not want to be right in the city with the noise, pollution, late night partying, After a 5 minute hike up a trail, we were greeted by owners Laxman and Pratikshya. They made us tea and we immediately felt at home. Our son played in the yard with their son who is of similar age. They ran around the yard overlooking the lake and the city. The rooms are basic and clean. Much nicer than we expected as seasoned travelers who had been to India and Polynesia recently. The bathrooms are also basic, clean, and to western standards. Warm showers were always available, especially refreshing after a hike or trek. The electricity was consistent without any surges 24/7. Bottled water was provided and filtered water was also available. The WiFi was faster than expected, and I was able to make two work zoom calls without getting dropped, and our children were able to FaceTime with grandma. Most importantly, we always felt safe. Laxman helped us coordinate travel and day trips. He and his wife made breakfast and coffee/tea for us in the morning. Our son praises Laxman's honey pancakes, made with honey from his family beehive as "the best pancakes in the world" (review from 5 year old). And Laxman bounced our infant daughter while my wife and I ate breakfast (we would post photos but we keep photos of our children off social media). If you are looking for a Pokhara party - this is not your place. It is far enough away to be quiet but close enough that you can be at restaurants, bars, temples, and rendezvous for paragliding within 15 minutes. It is a genuine expression of Nepali hospitality. Our last night Laxman and Pratikshya made a delicious home cooked Dhal Bhat dinner while our families shared a meal looking over Lake Fewa sunset sharing stories.
