With the regular city hustle and bustle, we were in need of a short break to a place where the city noises, tall buildings and dusty air is replaced by chirpings of birds, tall and woody trees and fresh natural air. After going through a list of recommendations and research, we came across Haatiban Himalayan Height Resort.

Located in the forest of Haatiban at the top of the hills, Haatiban Resort is the perfect place for staycation with your family and friends. In this blog we will sharing our experience during our stay at Haatiban Resort.

 

Arrival: A Journey to Nature

Our visit to Haatiban Resort began with a drive from Kathmandu. The pine forest on the Hattiban slope above Pharping, located southwest of Kathmandu, was a fresh breath in air. 

We were greeted warmly by the resort personnel. The traditional architecture of Nepal was used to build the resort's welcome area, which looked great with the surrounding landscape. The serene ambiance was already working its effect on us as we sipped a welcome drink and completed the check-in process.

One of the most amazing parts of our stay was the peaceful environment. The resort’s remote location which is quite far away from the city life gave us an opportunity to reconcile with nature. 

Whether it was a chilling moment at the balcony of the cozy Kirtipur Executive Suite room while sipping tea or enjoying badminton with my friends at the green ground, every moment gave me a chance to immerse myself in nature.

The loud noises of the busy street were replaced by the soft chirping of birds, the dust and smoke of the city was replaced by the fresh air and woody smell. All these things allowed us to appreciate the beauty and connection with nature.
