Pharping hills · 40 minutes from Kathmandu

Leave the city below. Come back to yourself.

Why people come

Close enough to reach in an hour. Far enough to slow down.

Pharping sits on the southern rim of the valley, where the road ends and the hills begin. Old temples, forest trails and village life are a short walk from the gate. Our job is simple: good food, clean rooms, a warm hall to practise in, and nothing that pulls you back to your inbox.

We host yoga teachers, coaches and small communities who want the whole place to themselves, and individual guests between group dates.

Three ways to stay

Every stay includes three meals a day from our kitchen and use of the garden, pool and rooftop.

Lawns and gardens with the Kathmandu Valley hills behind
For retreat leaders

Book the whole house

Exclusive use of every room, the hall and the grounds for your group. We handle meals, transfers and the daily rhythm; you run the programme.
