 ABOUT US


Chobhar "Le Village" Resort was created as a Private Limited company under the laws of the Kingdom of Nepal in 2001. The company's Managing Director is a westener.


When its MD first came to Nepal after his retirement in 1998, he came across this quite unique piece of property in the centre of Chobhar village. At that time these old farm buildings were completely derelict and abandoned. Had these historic 200 year-old stonehouses been left in their critical need of repair for too much longer, another piece of Newari culture and tradition would have disappeared forever.

So having fallen in love with the place, in part because of its beautiful ethnic setting, its panoramic views of the Himalayan Mountains, and also because it reminded the founder of Normandy's stone constructions, He decided to take the property on a long lease. He then proceeded to commit his own funds to renovate this unique Newari heritage, preserving it for posterity. Therefore, a property which originally was intended to serve as a retirement house - for one man - was later converted into a larger project - a Business with a Social Responsibility (BSR) Today, the Resort is fully operational with its Café, Restaurant and lovingly and artfully restored rooms. He personally supervised every detail of the Interior Design of the inside of the main house. Today, the project provides employment to many members of the local community and is operated by group of professional hoteliers.

The person who originated this project often compares the creation of this small complex with having a dream. His ultimate goal has never been pure financial gain. Rather, he derives great satisfaction from the fact that this BSR is now providing steady work to the local village people, who previously had none. The project has also helped to train many tradesmen, carpenters, plumbers, painters, artists, etc. On expiration of the lease, the resort's physical assets will revert back to the local community, in this case akin to a legs to the people living in Chobhar Village.
