Energy
Clean & Renewable
The house runs primarily on clean hydropower, with solar as backup—plus 100% LED lighting, solar water heating, and electric heat pumps to keep our footprint low.
Sustainability
Lightly on the land
Clean energy, our own organic farm and the crafts of the Kathmandu Valley—sustainability here isn’t a badge on the wall, it’s how the home is run.
Our Practices
Six ways we tread lightly
From the power that lights the house to the pots our amenities are served in—the everyday practices behind the home.
The Farm
Our Organic Farm
Our own pesticide-free farm meets around 40% of the kitchen’s needs; the rest comes from nearby farmers. Organic waste returns to the soil as natural fertiliser.
Materials
Craft, Not Waste
Hand-carved woodwork by Lalitpur artisans, jute rugs woven by Tharu women, and antique window frames reborn on our walls. Garden blocks let rainwater recharge a century-old well.
Plastic-Free
No Single-Use
RO-purified water in glass, paper straws in place of plastic, and bath amenities served in refillable clay pots thrown by local potters.
The 3 R’s
Reduce · Reuse · Recycle
Clay pots are refilled and reused; kitchen off-cuts become stocks and sauces. Waste is segregated—biodegradables to the farm, recyclables to certified facilities.
Water & People
Conserve Together
A simple card lets guests reuse towels and linen, and every team member is trained in resource efficiency and eco-conscious service.
