The Heritage Mallaj is one of those hotels I stumbled upon internet rather on foot.

A 110 years old former palace of some Malla family that dwells on the hills of Beni,Lamjung was renovated by his sucessors.

The picturequese location, the rooms that gives us reminiscence of how it would have been hundred yrs ago, organic n mouthwatering food makes it perfect get away form kathmandu. But it does lie on pricier side. You pay what you get for.

They also have their facebook page named : The heritage Mallaj

Where it is?
It is located at Mallaj, Parbhat. Its about 90 km away from Pokhara.

How to reach there?
You can start your journey en route to Beni from Pokhara - When you reach a town called Milanchowk (Lunghdi Bridge - 4 kms before reaching Beni - you take a diversion and climb up hill journey to Mallaj.

How long does it take to reach there?
Four Wheelers : It takes you 2:45 to 3:00 hrs to reach Mallaj from Pokhara - but for the last led of 8 kms uphill, you need a 4WD vehicle.
Two Wheelers: if you have a dirt bike you can save almost 30 mins travel time.
Another option is to take public transport from PKR and get dropped of at Wari Beni and hike up to the resort - take about 30 - 45 mins depending on how fit you are.

The highway from PKR to Beni is pretty good, like most roads around the country but the last stretch of 8 kms is a rough mountainous road and need to 4WD.
