Gokarna is definitely a nice place if you want to just relax during the cold season: the rooms are nice, there is hot water in the shower, the sauna is ok and the swimming pool fun, even though a bit cold and moldy (and for some reason children, who love it the most, are not allowed). However, if you want to have a more active holiday, and you do not play golf, it is a bit boring since you are not allowed to go on your own for forest walks or roam around the (golf) fields (if you dont play golf). Maybe more suitable for romantic travel than for family travel.Gokarna forest park provides a sylvan retreat from the city at less than an hour's drive from Kathmandu. The hotel combines traditional style with space and comfort, and offers a full golf course (lessons available for beginners and the more experienced). The staff could not be more helpful and do their utmost to ensure an enjoyable stay. I particularly enjoyed the forest walks, the free yoga classes, the spa (I would recommend the ayurvedic massage) and the generous breakfast to start the day well. In short, this was a perfect weekend retreat.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.
Hotel itself being remote and away from town, basically means you have to dine at the hotel restaurant, and the food served was neither cheap nor good.
눇Location: away from the dusty, chaotic, noisy, crazy town area; tucked inside a small forest jungle. Very relaxed location. Facilities: room is very spacious and clean; two in-house restaurants to choose from; swimming pool and sauna are free to use. Small surprise: we actually can see monkeys and dears from our room all the time.
5 star experience. Definitely will recommend for the food, stay and overall experience
The resort where modern luxury blends with nature. A perfect gateway to escape from the hectic city life. We're lucky to see flock of deer right in front of us :)

Always a great place to stay. Great staff food is very good. Peaceful atmosphere. Monkeys can be a little scary.
One of the best place to visit and stay. The nature and green the open space are my favorite part. I can spend whole day looking at the greenery with some drinks and coffee and a book. Facilitates are good, rooms are excellent, food is good they also have nice bar, Spa and swimming pool. Weekend barbeque is excellent again. Excellent for events and seminars.. All in all it gives you rich feelings.
I loved this place becuse of its nature beautiness.It is full of beautiful grasslands,various species of flora and fauna,hockey camp,well standard gokarna hotel,etc.
Me and family just came for lunch at their club house, and they were having golf tournament so they only served a buffet. The food taste good and they had many variety. Really enjoyed my lunch today!
Lovely accommodating staff. They respond quickly to any needs or concerns. Add the bonus of seeing monkeys running around, spotted deer perched below you room, exquisite nature surrounding you and you have Gokarno. Great day treks from the hotel into the surrounding mountains.
Went for BBQ on Saturday, wasn't the best Food on that day, compared to what Nepali cuisine actually has to offer.
I just wanted to make it clear to all the foreign tourists. That, that is not the taste of Nepal.
Please, compare food taste with more local place. Don't recommend the food there.
But the hotel, environment, place location is awesome.
This place is so beautiful to mind and soul. Had a great weekend there. Nice rooms, amazing spa. Had a time of my life!
Beautiful. Great rooms. Great driving range. Thai restaurant is the best. Indoor swimming pool. Good fitness center. Spa is good according to my wife. Simple trail to walk on, too.
Great place, clean air, nice forest views, good golf ranges. Great place to spend a weekend or have an event.
Best give star hotel in Kathmandu. You will have the best time here. Trust me it's better than Hyatt.
This is a perfect getaway from daily life. Best for all kinds of people, single, couples, family, kids and pets.. Just awesome place to spend Loved it!!
