Against the beautiful backdrop of the scenic Pokhara Valley and the Annapurna mountain range, The Fulbari Resort & Spa is Nepal's only five-star hotel outside Kathmandu. It has been developed on the 100-acre plateau above the Green Canyon and the deep Seti Gorge. A few hundred metres below is the confluence of the Seti and Fusre Rivers. The resort's colourful location is described best by the Nepalese word 'fulbari', which means 'field of flowers'. The natural surroundings are complemented by the hotel's fine range of modern facilities, which meet the highest international standards. All these features combine to make The Fulbari Resort & Spa the natural destination of choice for visitors to Nepal.

Resort facilities include a shopping arcade, golf course, tennis courts, children's play area and outdoor heated swimming pool as well as The Roberts' Aviary. Spa Avatar at The Fulbari Resort & Spa is Nepal's premier destination for rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit. You can experience aromatherapy with exotic Himalayan incenses, deep cleansing facials and exhilarating massages. For pure pampering, spa guests can opt for the Volcanic Mud Masque or a floral jacuzzi.

Of the 155 deluxe bedrooms, those on the north side face the Annapurna range while the south-facing ones have views of the Green Canyon and the Seti Gorge. Located at the north-west corners of the resort overlooking the Green Canyon and with Himalayan views are nine deluxe Landmark Suites. There are also four attractive Honeymoon Suites available.

The excellent dining outlets include Café Fulbari, a restaurant which serves European and Asian cuisine and The Hanging Garden restaurant offering stunning views of the canyon. For Japanese cuisine, it is worth selecting the Komagane Teppanyaki restaurant while lovers of spicy south-Asian cuisine should choose The Masala Bazaar. Also, a variety of snacks are available in the Gurkha Bar.

Available upon request

The Pokhara Valley is set in one of the world's most beautiful regions. Natural lakes reflect images of the Himalayas, and river gorges carve their way through to Nepal's southern plains. The International Mountain Museum, now under full-scale construction, will complement the Gurka Army Museum. Roads and footpaths lead into the Annapurna foothills, and ponies are available for those preferring to ride. Sightseeing trips by helicopter and microlite are also possible while white water rafting is an ideal way of travelling to the wildlife jungle parks in the southern Terai.

Pokhara is 200kms west of Kathmandu, about 30 mins by plane or five to six hours by road. The resort is just 15 mins from Pokhara Airport.
