Mahakaruna

This is the second time we have stayed here and used this as a base to hike around and just enjoy the nature! Located only50 mins away from Pokhara ValleyMahakaruna is a pure divine & tranquil. We just wished we booked it for longer to fully enjoy the nature, stunning views and village life! Owners also involved on community project – Garden In The Himalayas who is a beautiful hike to the top of the hill!. Easy access yet you can enjoy the pure peace feast from hustle and bustle! You can Burke different packages apparently but we took all our food from the valley and simply bought some organic veg and fresh mill from the village!! Excellent place and will be back! Great job Purna and team🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amazing experience at Mahakaruna, the house is well designed, clean, with all necessary facilities and an even better location. Great views, quite while easily reachable by car and/or walk. 🥳

Had a great time

The majesty overwhelms rational thought out of my head.

Amazing stay. Amazing nature surroundings, view, peaceful village with complete silence. Amazing house with all the comfort in details👍

The place is gorgeous! Big fan.

If you are looking for an isolated yet luxury stay, this is the place to be in. 1 hour ride from Pokhara into the hills overlooking the snow capped Annapurna mountains. Beautiful cottage with an indoor fire place and a private chef who will cook whatever you want him to cook. Please do take all the necessary groceries, cooking oil, spices etc with you as this cottage isolated with no shops nearby. Chef will also light up outside fire for you during the evenings, there is also a sound system which you can connect to your phone and enjoy music. The serenity and peace is ultimate here and I would highly recommend you stay here if you are a peace lover.

Nobody should finish the Annapurna trek without staying in Purna and Aneta house. Their family welcoming, the spectacular view and comfortable cozy house and the great cook that stay as companion with you during your stay is very special and regenerating. I would definitely will love to come back with friends and family.

Amazing place in a super quiet location. Traditionally build with modern interior.
Rooms are spacious, comfortable, cozy with super view of Mount Annapurna.
Outdoor seating is wonderful for nature lover during sunset, garden is huge with exotic plants and one can pick fresh organic vegetables and herbs for cooking.
Never tired of this place and it’s my fourth time in Mahakaruna.

I spent a few nights in Mahakaruna with my family in July 2022 and I can’t wait to go back again. Mahakaruna is a place to be if you are looking to spend ur days amidst nature,in peace away from the humdrum of the city. It is a beautiful property with lush gardens filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables.the beautiful wooden home gives you a traditional feel but is equipped with modern comfort and luxury. Overlooking the beautiful green mountains, the air is fresh and crisp and if you are lucky enough- the view of the Himalayas is sure enough to bring out the Zen in you.

We are so thankful for the wonderful experience we had at Mahakaruna. This place is a heaven situated far from the city. We contacted Mr.Purna Gurung who is the owner of this place and he arranged everything from airport transfers(kudos to the driving skills of Mr.Purna’s Dad), food, cook, etc. Special mention about his parents who took care of us very well. They visited us everyday to see if we were comfortable. We stayed with 2 kids and the place is very safe and the kids had a great time and were mostly outdoors playing in the garden area and sit out. The sit out and the windows of the house have a scenic view of the beautiful annapurna range. We went for short hikes around the mountains. This is a good place for birdwatchers. Overall we had a peaceful stay and we surely plan to visit this place again.

I absolutely loved my two week stay at Mahakaruna!
Probably the most extraordinary AirBnB place in the country. An absolut retreat away from all hustle and bustle with its own huge garden, all peacefully nestled between the hills and an oustanding view to Annapurna on clear days.
The family and everyone involved go out of their way to make you feel not only comfortable but also make you feel at home. Communication with everyone was excellent.
The house is quite big with three bedrooms upstairs and a huge open kitchen and living room. All neat and clean, everything very well organized and fully equipped.
Went on several hikes to explore the area a bit, enjoyed cooking myself, Yoga, reading and contemplating – just unplug.
Pure bliss, will never forget.
Thank you very much for the organisation and offering this place!
Regards,
Agnes

Purna and Aneta’s place is like a holistic wellness retreat. The family honestly looks after you so that time passes by with pure comfort and joy. It’s an experience of a lifetime nestled in the Himalayan valleys. So much food, open space and time to relax that it feels like heaven on top of the world! 🇳🇵🏔🙏

Phenomenal place to stay.

Spectacular get away.

A Shangri-La.

Read the page and instructions carefully. You have to communicate ahead of time with the host to ensure everything goes smoothly as they have a chef and other things that require pre-planning and don’t miss the description about them intentionally having no wifi. You can’t just expect to “show up” like other Airbnbs without speaking to the host ahead of time. I made that mistake and whilst things went smoothly it created unnecessary challenges for the host.

You won’t regret booking. This place has a class and aesthetic unlike the other Airbnbs in the country.

This was our second stay this year at Purna and Aneta’s AirBnB in Tanchok and once again we had a memorable stay. We were thoroughly spoiled with amazing Nepali meals cooked up by chef Dilip. The views of the mountains were incredible! Thank you Purna and Aneta – we can’t wait to return next year!

My wife and I stayed at Purna and Aneta’s AirBnB in Tanchok in February. It would suffice to say that our stay was absolutely bliss. Purna and Aneta were always extremely responsive both prior to our arrival and during. Everything was absolutely perfectly organized from the arrangements made by Purna and Aneta for our pickup at the airport in Pokhara by Suresh who periodically checked in to see how were doing during our stay , the warm welcome we received upon arrival at the property by our host’s father, the superb meals prepared by Dilip who also entertained us with his stories and humour, and the knowledge and humility of our Bijay who was our guide for walks in the area. The people we met during our stay truly made this a very enriching experience.

The house is one incredible feat of construction when one considers the craftsmanship that has gone into building it and the modern amenities that make one feel so comfortable but are so rare in Nepal when it comes to accommodations away from the city. It was fairly cold at that time of the year, but we were very cozy with the wood stove in the living room, the heater in the master bedroom and piping hot running water. With the construction of this spectacular luxury property, Purna and Aneta have achieved what most people in Nepal can only dream of doing.

On our very first morning we awoke to crystal clear views of Annapurna South from the master bedroom window. We often just sat outside and spent time chatting with Dilip and Bijay over a cup of tea while gazing over the beautiful valley below. We did a full day walk of the surrounding area including Garden in the Himalayas with a stopover for lunch at Australian Camp. We visited the local school on the second day and had a chat with the headmaster. On the third day we took a walk around Majgaon, the village next door, and visited with some of the local residents who are extremely welcoming. We also visited the local museum which has some very interesting artifacts. Our stay was just so perfect and relaxing that at times we felt like it was a fairy tale! We were very sad to leave, and we cannot wait to visit again for longer later this year. We highly recommend staying at Purna and Aneta’s property!

Purna and Aneta were an amazing and super helpful hosts! The place was breathtaking and everything was prepared accordingly and all was perfect! Definitely recommend Purna and Aneta’s place for a beautiful getaway!
