Butterfly Lodge

Pokhara


Even the standard rooms at Butterfly Lodge are big and super clean, and all rooms are designated nonsmoking. On the grounds is a lovely lawn with banana lounges and two restaurants, one Chinese, one Indian. Staff are very helpful and some of the profits go to the Butterfly Foundation supporting local children.
