A sustainability-focused luxury retreat located one hour outside Pokhara's center, surrounded by rice terraces and Himalayan peaks. Powered by solar energy with rainwater harvesting, the property features an organic farm restaurant, a pool with Himalayan salt filtration, and stunning panoramic mountain views. Ideal for travelers wanting a peaceful, eco-conscious luxury escape in the Gandaki hills.
The Pavilions Himalaya - The Farm is set in Majhthana, roughly an hour's drive from central Pokhara, surrounded by terraced rice paddies and direct sightlines to the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre ranges. The property is built around sustainability, running on solar power with rainwater harvesting and an on-site organic farm that supplies much of the restaurant's produce, giving it a rural, working-farm character rather than a conventional resort layout. Accommodation is limited to a small number of suites and farmhouse-style rooms, each with private outdoor space and uninterrupted mountain views, designed for a slower pace than city hotels. The restaurant serves farm-to-table Nepali and continental dishes built around what is harvested that day, and the pool is filtered with Himalayan salt rather than chlorine, set on a terrace facing the mountains. Yoga and meditation sessions run most mornings, and the property also offers cooking classes built around the farm's produce, plus guided walks through the surrounding terraces and villages. There is no town nearby, so the retreat works best as a self-contained stay rather than a base for exploring Pokhara, and service leans toward personal, all-inclusive hospitality with staff arranging transfers, activities and meals as part of the package rather than items to book separately.

Tips for visiting
- Book an all-inclusive package, as the remote location makes ad-hoc dining or transport difficult
- Plan for a minimum two-night stay to make the hour-long drive from Pokhara worthwhile
- Bring layers, as evenings in the hills are noticeably cooler than Pokhara's lake-level climate
