Why Founders Come Here
Some places are good for output; Nepal is good for perspective. A founder retreat here pairs real deep-work blocks — quiet venues, reliable internet, no commute — with mornings that reset your sense of scale: sunrise over an 8,000-meter skyline, monastery bells, a trail above the clouds.
EcoTourNepal designs and runs the whole container: venues, rooms, transport, facilitation rhythm, food, and the adventure that threads it together. You bring the agenda; we make the days run themselves.
Who It's For
- Startup founders and leadership teams

A Day On Retreat
Mornings open with movement or a viewpoint walk, then a long, protected deep-work or workshop block. Afternoons alternate between sessions and experiences — heritage walks, lakeside workdays, guided reflection. Evenings are the point: founder dinners where the real conversations happen.
- Deep work blocks with venue, AV, and connectivity handled
- Guided reflection and strategy sessions
- Short hikes and mountain sunrises
- Heritage walks through living old cities
- Founder dinners, local food, honest conversations
- Optional rafting, paragliding, or a monastery visit
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle the full logistics for an accelerator cohort?
Yes — that is the product. Airport transfers, rooms, venues, food, transport, activities, and an on-call coordinator throughout. You run the program; we run everything around it.
What budget should we plan?
It depends on group size, hotel tier, and how much adventure you add. Send dates and headcount and we will return a per-person quote with honest line items — no hidden costs.
Is the internet good enough for investor calls?
In the venues we use, yes: tested fiber plus 4G/5G backup, and we schedule connectivity-critical sessions in the most reliable locations. We have run demo days from Pokhara without a dropped frame.
