“Amazing hostel to relax at between treks!”
I've been coming and going from Pokhara for the last 6 weeks and Gaurishankar has been the absolute best place to relax in between treks. The whole setup here is so organised, the staff are really friendly, great coffee and really comfortable private rooms for a very fair price. The hostel dogs (Leo and Khali) are so cute as well! Highly recommend this place to anyone spending time in Pokhara!

Gaurishankar is the best hostel I've ever stayed at. We've been here for a month now and this place feels like home for us. The people here are amazingly nice and feel like family, they help with everything and make sure you feel very welcome. We also love the dogs, Kali and Leo, who hang around us all the time now :). The rooms are very clean, spacious and the hostel is very social. I've never made such good friends for such a long time in a hostel (that is something very important to me when traveling). Overall it's just perfect in every sense, a nice bar with good food, good breakfast, nice cookies, clean hangout areas, nice hammocks and a really cool vibe. We could ask any questions and would always be helped in the best way, it's a very personal experience. We also got really nice recommendations for everything! Special thanks to Denis,Sonu,Kuldeep,Kajal,Sabitri,Neema for making our stay the most perfect it could have been, we are going to miss you.

“It was an awesome experience. If I am going to Pokhra again, I will definitely visit the same hostel”
The location was just a min walk from the lake road. The open area of the hostel is awesome. The hostel owners were friendly. They allowed me to keep my bags after checkout as our flight was 4 hours ahead of the checkout time.
