South Col. Bar
Varnabas’s highest perch, the South Col bar evokes the challenging yet rewarding climb to the South Col, gateway to Everest’s summit. Designed with elements of items used in the high Himalayas by climbers and Sherpas, every element evokes the essence of Nepal’s mountain regions. This poolside haven offers a unique fusion of local spirits and classic cocktails, perfect for savoring after a swim or enjoying the view. Our expert bartenders can craft classic cocktail mixes, Varnabas specials, or your favorites.
Whether you crave a refreshing local brew or a classic cocktail, the South Col Bar offers the perfect accompaniment to your poolside relaxation.
Gokyo Pool
The actual Gokyo lake, nestled along the Everest trekking route, is a paradise for trekkers, offering stunning panoramic views dominated by the mighty Mount Everest. But the crown jewel of Gokyo is not just one lake, it is a sacred system of four glacial lakes: Dudh Pokhari, Thonak Cho, Gyazumpa Cho, and Ngozumpa Tsho.
In the Gokyo lake swimming pool at Varnabas, guests can unwind taking a dip in our refreshing swimming pool overlooking the bustling city center of Kathmandu.
