My design at Pavilions Himalayas, Pokhara reimagines sustainable luxury—solar power, rainwater harvesting, biogas systems & local materials, all integrated into the landscape.

A resort that gives back more than it takes.

Saddened to see the destruction caused by the recent fire at Ullens School in Lalitpur. Beyond the immediate loss, it is painful to witness the damage to a place of learning that holds so much value for students, teachers, and the wider community.
