Built on an 8,000-foot Himalayan
plateau close to Nepal, this is thrills delivered right up at the tippy-top. One day the air is so crystal-clear you can see the drops
of dew on the grass from your window, the next, mist pushes in like
a slab of stone. This is a modern eco-eyrie conceived by a Parsee
psychoanalyst for committed travellers (Lan McEwan has
stayed)-because, boy, it's a sweat to get here Four glassy cottages
are kept warm by wood-brining stoves and the food from the Tibetan
chef is exquisite - Welsh cakes slathered in butter. There are long
walks, dipping into the glacial waters if you can hack it, and
guides with informed chat about everything from local
micro-societies to fungi facts. A searing experience to charge the
synapses.
ACCOMMODATIONS
4
cottages all en-suite and with private sit outs and glorious
views. The bathrooms have overhead

the surroundings. For the winter months, the rooms
