Welcome to paradise by the lake.
The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas was born out of a love for pure nature, an interest in natural remedies, a love of delicious, healthy food and the realization of how therapeutic and beneficial all these ingredients are.

11 km east of the bustling city of Pokhara lies this wondrous paradise – Lake Begnas, known for its clear spring waters and lush surroundings – the backdrop for your long-awaited escape to another world! The resort is located on the southern shore of the lake and offers spectacular mountain views.

In contrast to Lake Phewa in the city of Pokhara, which is overcrowded with a long line of tourist shops, restaurants and bars, Lake Begnas is quiet and hardly habitable. The southern shore is densely forested and attracts a variety of smaller animals and birds, reflecting its pristine images on the tranquil lake.

You may see the flash of a diving cormorant, the vibrant colors of a passing kingfisher, the fluttering of pheasants or the chatter of monkeys. After nightfall, it is not uncommon to hear the spotted leopard growling.

The Begnas is known for a wide variety of freshwater fish, some large or over 20 kg. The northern bank is a broad slope along an elongated hill of terraced rice fields and clay farms. Over the northern ridge you can see the snow-capped Annapurna massif, towering over the surrounding landscape.

Ayurveda
What is exceptional about the resort is its approach to Ayurveda. The resort consciously exploits the unique wealth of Nepalese biodiversity and aims to make the most of the resources available locally. In addition to the wide variety of plants and herbs from the Himalayas, local knowledge about them is preserved, along with the natural remedies that have been practiced for generations.

Almost 60% of the Nepalese population still relies on Ayurvedic healing methods, mostly without knowing that they are “Ayurveda”.

That’s why Begnas Lake Resort combines both schools and approaches – local Nepalese wisdom and knowledge with traditional Ayurvedic teachings. This combination is at the heart of Begnas Lake Resort & Villas practice.

Ayurvedic center:
The first step before any treatment/procedure is to meet with an Ayurvedic practitioner/doctor who will determine your health condition through a detailed examination and prescribe the right treatment. You will be asked numerous detailed questions and the doctor will also observe your communication, body language and appearance. One of the most important keys to diagnosis is measuring the pulse. Based on the result, you will receive a detailed treatment plan, which includes not only various procedures, but also specific dietary recommendations, breathing and yoga exercises and routine suggestions. Two main types of treatments are offered at Begnas:

Main types of treatments offered:

1) Sodhan Chikitsa (detox therapies)
The main goal of treatment is to eliminate toxins from the body using the most appropriate method.

2) Shamana Chikitsa (relief therapies)
These treatments are less invasive and much gentler. Your goal is to balance all three doshas. They focus on reducing and eliminating symptoms. In these treatments we use herbal remedies and emphasize proper nutrition and exercise.

Depending on the human constitution and the desired result, this can be:

Vamana – therapeutic vomiting or spitting
Virechana – ablution
Nasya – excretion of toxins through the nose
Vasathy — enema therapy
Rakta Moksha – blood detoxification
