We had a lovely experience at Bishnu homestay. Its about a 10-15 minute walk to the shops of Lakeside north, but since the homestay was so peaceful and quiet we didn't mind the stroll into town. Bishnu and Laxmi were very friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated that they woke up early to bring us tea when we had to leave for an early bus back to Kathmandu.
Rooms were clean, water was hot and Laxmi's complimentary breakfast omelette was delicious.
There's so many accommodation options in Pokhara but we're really happy we went with Bishnu homestay.
