Queen’s forest, or Raniban in Nepali, is where Raniban Retreat is located.  On the secluded hillock of Raniban hill forest in Pokhara resides a unique boutique hotel offering you an eco-friendly environment tailor-made for you. You can call it the Queen’s Retreat!!  Visitors all say Raniban is the best view and a most peaceful location in Pokhara – for magnificent panoramic views of the Himalayan panorama, the Majestic Fewa Lake, the Enchanting World Peace Pagoda, and the Charming Pokhara Valley. And it’s greatly peaceful because it’s on the hilltop accessible through our own-made 522 stone steps through wild bushes. For those looking for a more comfortable way of reaching our retreat, we have recently built an alternate way that takes you directly to the hill-top, making Raniban more accessible. Since the road is pretty fresh and all gravels, it is currently accessible only via a four-wheel drive vehicle. 

10 clean and comfortable rooms, sumptuous food, spa, great views, traditional hospitality, and 24-hour solar power back up,   are what we offer you at Raniban Retreat – a small boutique hotel for spending your exclusive time.  Experience a complete retreat with your family and friends.

In Raniban, you can come with a special purpose. We conduct free medical camps for the neighbouring villages. Most recently, we conducted a free orientation and screening of cervical cancer (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) for local women. We have a year-long unique straw art exhibition and sale at Raniban aimed at saving funds for free cancer screening and staff medical welfare. You can be part of such a mission of Raniban. 

We look forward to welcoming you all at our "little retreat", merely 7 km near from the airport.
