THE IDEA

More than a destination

We're growing a new kind of rural future.

Shubha connects working farms with curious travellers, students, researchers, local entrepreneurs and communities.

Beginning in Pipalthok, the project brings agriculture, livestock, apiculture, poultry, hospitality, local culture and artisanal production into one living destination.

Accommodation, food, farm goods, workshops and educational visits create complementary livelihoods while opening roles in growing, animal care, guiding, hospitality, making and maintenance.

Plant and animal materials return to the soil through composting, while wood, paper, metal and beeswax help reduce unnecessary plastic.

THE NETWORK

Distinct landscapes, one purpose

A learning route
across Nepal.

Each hub responds to its own climate, crops and community—connected by one shared standard for learning and stewardship.

WHAT GROWS HERE

A living, integrated farm

From orchard
to apothecary.

The crop and livestock plan is intentionally diverse. Food, fibre, botanicals and animal systems support hospitality, education, farm products and healthier soil.

Orchards & café crops

Fruit, coffee & tea

Coffee, orange and lemon anchor the farm, with apple, apricot, plum and peach considered for suitable growing zones.

Kitchen garden

Food from the field

Coriander, mint, mustard, sunflower, corn, millet, potato, ghiraula and shiitake mushrooms support the kitchen and farm shop.

Aromatic garden

Colour & fragrance

Hibiscus, lavender, marigold, tulsi, rosemary, lemongrass and butterfly pea become teas, infusions and workshop materials.

Indigenous knowledge

Medicinal botanicals

Satuwa, timur, Malabar nut, kutki, jatamansi, chiraito and other local plants are explored with responsible cultivation and expert guidance.

Integrated livestock

Animals in the system

Buffalo, goats, poultry, honey bees and Angora rabbits support dairy, eggs, honey, fibre, learning and nutrient cycling.

RESPONSIBLE SCALE

Phased development roadmap

Grow capacity.
Protect the vision.

Essential infrastructure comes first. Crops, animals, hospitality and cultural spaces are then introduced in stages so operating capacity and community benefit can grow together.

Foundation

Establish the flagship

Build what matters first

Prioritize essential guest facilities, soil and water systems, early crops, apiary activity and a safe, welcoming farm environment in Pipalthok.
