Himalayan retreat house sitting

Location: Pokhara , Nepal

Holistic Healing in Himalayas (HHH) is a small family-run initiative based in a peaceful village near Pokhara, surrounded by mountains, forests, and traditional local life, yet close to the city. We host travelers and volunteers who want to experience simple Himalayan living, mindfulness, and community connection while contributing to meaningful local activities.

Our vision is to align ( commerce, community, and conservation ) creating tourism that supports local livelihoods, respects nature, and builds awareness about sustainable living. We are gradually working with the local school, youth clubs, and village committee to contribute to small community activities, while also learning about the surrounding forest, wildlife habitats, and local ecology so that, over time, we can help protect and improve the natural environment around us.

Currently, we are developing two main projects. First, we are preparing a traditional Nepali mud-and-wood house on a hilltop to become a cultural stay where visitors can experience authentic Nepali village life. Second, we are building our **Holistic Garden**, where volunteers help plant herbal plants, fruits, and nature-friendly vegetation, maintain a small pond ecosystem, and support our long-term goal of creating a permaculture garden. In the future, simple eco huts will allow volunteers to stay there, live close to the land, garden, relax, and reconnect with nature.

Volunteers joining us become part of a slow, meaningful journey learning, sharing, building, and growing together with the land and the community.
