The Pavilion Himalayas embrace environmental stewardship with innovative practices that redefine hospitality with its green practices. From the get-go, you’re pampered with organic, biodegradable shower gels, shampoos, and lotions that smell divine and are kind to the planet. With rainwater harvesting and gray-water recycling, they cut down on local water use and recycle wastewater for non-drinking purposes. Energy efficiency is everywhere, with smart lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems keeping things cozy and green. Solar water heating panels? Check. You can enjoy a guilt-free soak knowing you're cutting down on carbon emissions. But the pièce de résistance? Their biogas system. The hotel's impressive biogas system uses manure from their farm animals to produce methane gas, powering the kitchen to cook food grown on-site. It doesn't get fresher than that—straight from the farm to your plate.

This resort not only provides luxury accommodations but also embodies Maclagan's vision of responsible tourism and community support.

Stylish Eats

The farm-to-table dining experience was another highlight. They harvest an organic farm, providing fresh vegetables, eggs, and dairy that elevate every breakfast. Indulge in rice pancakes drizzled with Himalayan honey or savor poached eggs with labna, herb salad, and cashew dukka on toast. Fresh lassi, juices, and organic teas and coffees complete the morning spread. ​For lunch, I savored a delightful and authentic Nepali meal known as dal bhat, a cornerstone of Nepalese cuisine that combines rice with a variety of flavorful vegetables. What made this meal particularly special was its preparation using entirely organic ingredients sourced from their own farm. Each component, from the fragrant rice to the crisp vegetables, was cultivated with care and without the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring not only a delicious dining experience but also a commitment to sustainable agriculture.
