Gokarna Forest Resort provided an incredibly tranquil escape from the chaotic city life of Kathmandu. Surrounded by lush greenery and a serene golf course, this resort truly felt like a nature retreat. The spacious grounds, wonderful facilities, and attentive staff made our stay very pleasant. However, it's a bit of a drive from the main city, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic choice for relaxation after our trekking adventures.
