Introduction

Apa Villa Phulbari is the high spot of the Apa Villas in Asia. The hilltop farmhouse Phulbari or "flower garden" is situated on the loftiest point at 1800 metres in the district of Kavre, southeast out of the Kathmandu Valley.

The nearest town is Dhulikel, a destination for visitors from the capital to view the Himalayan mountain range. Indeed, the magic of Phulbari is its views of the Himalayan peaks at times peeking shyly above the clouds, or glowing in the early morning rays.

Our unique estate lies at the end of a ridge bordering a forest reserve and surrounded by cascades of valleys, rising terraces and hillocks. Farmers, animal herders and their families populate the area and the local schools lie at the bottom of our hill. Nearby, a Tibetan monastery and important pilgrimage site accentuates the rich and varied culture of Nepal.

The estate has been maturing on its own, minimally maintained in the last years, with the uncertainty of the Maoist insurgency. Now, with revived optimism for a better future for the country we have re-activated the facilities and welcome friends and guests.

Apa Villa Phulbari is ideal for those in search of spiritual or inner satisfaction with minimal fuss but great comfort and cleanliness. Great rewards for those who love hiking and discovering in an exceptional unspoiled territory bounding with medieval hamlets, abundant nature and friendly people. Our local staff treads gently around the guests with a naiive curiousity and willingness to serve.
