Ker & Downey Three Mountain Lodge, Bandipur

Enjoy some wonderful walks and stunning views of the mountains at this comfortable purpose-built lodge in an untouched corner of Nepal’s Himalayan foothills.

It is an almost unvarying rule of travel that the more remote the destination, the more rewarding the experience. Rule or not, it is certainly true of Three Mountain Lodge. From Kathmandu, you drive south-west through the verdant ‘middle hills’ of Nepal as far as the village of Bandipur.

It’s time to relax; you’re over halfway to Three Mountain. So you stop for lunch and to meet your guide and porter, both of whom are essential because your final approach to the lodge involves a three hour trek, the last 40 minutes of which is a stiff climb up to the ridge on which the lodge is built.

But once you arrive, you’ll understand why this adventure may just be the high point of your tailor-made vacation to Nepal.
