Equidistant between Pokhara and Kathmandu, hugging the scenic highway is the Summit River Lodge. Nestled in the semi-tropical hills and gently sloping down to the beaches of the Trishuli River, our lodge defines serenity. After a fresh organic breakfast, take the suspension bridge into nature, passing hamlets of aboriginal tribes untouched by time. Take in the birds, river, and breathtaking scenery -a feast for your morning senses. A lazy afternoon luncheon by the pool melts into a flawless sunset. Summit River Lodge is the perfect launch pad for day hikes or a rejuvenating spot for the tired rafters.

Paradise

Stayed here as part of g adventure tour. Was great escape away from busy roads and towns. Enjoyed the walk into lodge across suspension bridge over river. Buffet breakfast and dinner were enjoyable. Air con in room worked well in humid conditions. Pool and bar definitely worth hanging out for a bit.…

Peaceful weekend getaway to escape the city

The resort is about 15 minutes walk from the main highway, and the walk is part of the payoff when reaching the resort. very quiet and peaceful surrounded by lush greenery. good food, service and accommodation.

HIDDEN PARADISE.

Everything in this place is simplicity at its best. One doesn't need to have outlandish food and decor to be labeled as a 3 STAR venue. One simply needs to stick to the basics. One such example is this place. Don't go after the 1 star ratings, because that's a BIG LIE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.…

Disappointing & Waste of Money

Went there with my friends for the weekend. Social media pictures looked tempting - but the service + resort room were very disappointing. Most important of all - it wasn’t even close to what we paid for. Staff were not corporative + services were horrible. Food options very less. Breakfast was very limited, it’s like starting a new day with hopelessness. They didn’t provide with any thing we requested - not even a bottle of water during the summer days. And they don’t even care about our feedback. Especially cashier - Rabindra - is the biggest “AS#” & “PAIN IN .......” of all. My advice - look for other alternative resort so that you don’t spoil your vacation. Management doesn’t care about your presence.…

Dear Mr. Thapa, Every now and then we have guests who come to our Lodge with very high expectation and we have to apologize for not living up to it. Summit River Lodge is a no frill kind of place and we are very clear about this through our information. Kurintar is at 290m and it gets extremely hot during certain months of the year. It’s on the other side of the busy highway and only connected by a suspension bridge, everything has to be transported and carried over. It also requires a lot of effort to keep the greenery and maintain the garden and the pool to keep it fresh and clean. Resources are not readily available like in the cities. We pride ourselves for trying to have a different approach in our beautiful country, where it’is not only that offers mountains and cultural activities. At our simple lodge the food we serve is quite straight forward and not at all fancy. Basically we do what we know and in most cases people are happy with our Dal Bhat and simple breakfast. And lastly, being in hospitality business for a very long time, we have full faith in the goodness of the Nepali people and pride ourselves of being among the friendliest and open people. We are willing to work hard and satisfy our customers because this is what we do. We only ask that there be some compassion in using words too freely and giving some space to our shortcomings

Worst Service and staff behaviors

Very disappointed with the service and staffs behavior, only good thing about this place is Natural ambiance, disgrace for calling themselves 3 Star. Highly priced. Kitchen staff were friendly but other desk staff were rude and impolite. Don't expect much of the hospitality.
