Stepping into the welcoming grounds of the Summit River Lodge, after a day exploring the beauty and tranquillity of the Kurintar hillsides, is the perfect way to rest and recharge.
Natural materials such as rough cut stone, mellow wood and bamboo create calm spaces enhanced by warm light for a cosy, homely feel. Snug sofas on the sheltered terrace offer tempting spots to sit and get lost in the views, or in a good book.
But however cosy the lodge, the call of the hills can’t be resisted for long… There are numerous paths and trails to follow on foot or bike through the surrounding forest and undulating slopes, ideal for gentle wanders, random rambles and even some more seriously-focused trekking. For those keen to take the adventure up a notch, there’s the opportunity of rapid rafting on the nearby Trisuli River, while those with spirituality in mind can take a cable car up to the Manakamana Temple, believed by some to grant wishes.

Why we love it
“This lodge was the perfect place to stay on our first visit to Nepal - it gave us a beginners’ taste of the country’s famed trekking experience.”
Location, location, location…
The Summit River Lodge is definitely on to a winner with its stunning location. Perched on a hillside overlooking Theywatar and the Trishuli River, with sweeping vistas of mountain peaks and lush valleys, the landscape epitomises why so many people are passionate about Nepal. The gentle slopes allow everyone from beginner hikers to more experienced trekkers to explore the surroundings at their own pace, taking in the rarified mountain air and season-round beauty.
Home away from home
There’s a real skill to creating a genuinely welcoming and homely environment in a hotel, and the Summit River Lodge has nailed it. From the warm, soft lighting making every room feel cosy and welcoming, to the long wooden table in the dining room encouraging a sense of community and a family feel during shared meals, the spaces balance the professionalism and pampering you’d expect in a well-curated hotel, with a calm and relaxing ambiance to make guests feel at ease.
What can you do there?
Begin each day with a quiet moment or two on the terrace, gazing out at the valleys and hillsides beyond as the sun rises higher in the sky. Take a refreshing dip in the pool, or join a yoga session to wake body and mind, before stepping (or cycling) out to explore the surrounding hills. Go rafting on the river, take a cable-car ride up to the nearby temple, and take time to enjoy Nepal’s great outdoors before returning to the welcoming warmth of the lodge for hearty meals and shared stories around the long dining table.
