A beautiful little place, away from the noise of pokhara. Rooms were spacious , the owner was nice and friendly, and the gardens overlooking the lake made for a spectacular place to sit, relax and watch the view.
SOSA was my home for a month, it is one of the most beautiful guest houses in Pokhara, surrounded by nature in front of Phewa Lake and enveloped by the mountains, you feel like you booked a bungalow in Switzerland. If you like quiet places, want to write a book or just enjoy nature, this place is for you. (30 minutes walking to lakeside)
Not to mention the hosts; Himal is a great host, very serviceable, humble, funny and caring. The whole family is just too wholesome and generous and the food that didi (sister in Nepali) cooks is delicious btw.
They have 3 amazing dogs whom I got attached to quickly: the queen Luna, princess Tikki and protective Kalei.
SOSA provide you with authenticity, beauty and serenity. I feel grateful and lucky to have booked my whole solo trip in this place.
Excellent location, excellent staff. Food good price and so tasty. 7 minutes walk down hill and shop you can buy your needs if cooking in room . kitchen very good .. view over lake is good. Sosa dogs are brilliant.around 35 minutes walk to lakeside area in pokhara.. hopefully I will return next year
Amazing place 💯! We stayed almost 4 months and we had a wonderful experience, Himal is a great host 👌. It is a quiet place so perfect to connect with nature, the food is delicious and the prices are good. If we are ever back in Nepal we will be back in Sosa! Recommended 110 %
Amazing place to stay, so peaceful and relaxing looking over the lake and mountains. Lovely garden and own little cottage in nature. Very friendly hosts and pet dogs. Highly recommended
This is a real gem of a place just 5 minutes outside Lakeside, in Happy Village. The photos don't do it justice, the gardens have grown so much and it's lush and beautiful. The views from all the cottages are incredible, and it's in a very peaceful setting. The cottages are well equipped with a full kitchen, but they also have a restaurant which serves delicious food and I ate most of my meals there. Even if you don't stay here, I highly recommend to come for lunch with a view. Himal and his family are wonderful hosts, they're there when you need them and otherwise leave you to enjoy your privacy. This side of the lake is quite undeveloped so you get a real taste of local life. I will definitely stay here again, excellent value for money!
Loveliest and quiet cottages on the north side of Phewa Lake. I would recommend for people who want more nature and silence on their stay. It has been home-kind of feeling and staff are welcoming you as a family member. View of the lake is so relaxing, and the food is very taste and the greenery of the garden is so beautiful. Basic and very clean cottages!
It was a really nice place to stay. I wish I could be there longer than just a week. In fact many people stay there for a few months! Himal and all the staff there are very honest and friendly and I mean it in a real, authentic way - not the usual 'friendly for tourists' way ;) The place itself is in a quieter area so if you're tired of the business of the city it's a perfect place. Nice view on the lake and the sun setting behind the hill. The rooms were very clean, the kitchen has all you need for cooking. The beds are very very comfortable. I am a vegetarian and the veggie food they offered was also great.
WOW! A PERFECT STAY! REALLY! If you're longing to find a peaceful place with green surroundings, trustworthy atmosphere and where you can cook by yourself (to change from always finding another restaurant): Sosa is an absolut must stay!
More details: this place is an ensemble of cute cottages with small balcony and lawn front. All of it is in a lovely coumpound surrounded by flowers and with view over Fewa lake.
Each cottage has kitchen equiped with three gas stoves, sink, small fridge with freezer, pots, pan, small pressure cooker, plates, cutlery and other ustensils.
The cottage is very clean and quite big, bed is wide and comfortable, bathroom attached, good functioning hot water, reliable electric plugs, well-working wi-fi and there's table and chairs outside on balcony to enjoy open landscape.
Himal, the manager, and his family are very trustworthy people, it has been an honour to meet you all. They have guests and customers at the restaurant side but it remains always very quiet from the cottages side. The garden is very well cared and it creates a fulfilling atmosphere to watch the Sun sets every evening from there.
And finally, there is Luna and Kala, the loveliest doggies ever! You won't be able to refrain petting them! Adorable beings <3
Really... perfect stay...

To buy your groceries, you can find many small shops on the main road along the lake downhill. To find vegetables you better walk in Pokhara direction: within ten minutes walking you'll find vegetables stalls gathered around a few shops with even more choices.
To get to Sosa, you can take taxi or take the bus that leaves every half hour from next to Hallan Chowk (lakeside) in direction of Khapaudi, then get down at the junction leaving main road to walk five minutes uphill to Sosa. To go back, you can wait the same bus to pass back or walk ten minutes in Pokhara direction to then find lots of buses parked driving back to lakeside. Or you can walk (if you feel like walking beside the road), it's around thirty minutes in between Pokhara lakeside and Sosa.
You can call Sosa on the number which is currently written on their Airbnb profile. Then you can arrange a moment to come early visit the cottages and see early if convenient for you when there'll be availability.
