Summary: Finding the Phalbari Resort is like finding an oasis in the desert. The Five-Star exotic resort is among the most seductive in the world, and it is about 15 minutes from Pokhara. If looking for a very nice place while visiting the area, this IS the CHOICE. With a stay at the Phulbari, you will feel like you are the only guests in the most accommodating and lush hotel on earth. The Resort has a full spa, restaurant, tennis courts, volleyball courts, golf and a hosts of sporting activities. Landscaping is immaculate, activities abound, and the rich architecture and statues make it the best hotel in Pokhara area (by one-hundred fold). The golf course is a simple criss-cross design that lacks the upkeep and maintenance machinery of Western courses (as seen by the photo below of the maintenance women working to aerate a green by hand). However, you quickly accept the mediocre conditions when you meet the staff and begin trekking the mountain valley edges on your round of golf. Breath-taking views and some very challenging golf shots await. I mean really, where in the world can you get a round of golf like this???? Amazing.
