A peaceful escape
in Nepal’s tea country.

Find your quiet in Fikkal’s green hills. Earthy rooms, locally grown food and a warm welcome make Sunshine Villa a place to reconnect—with nature and with each other.

A place with a story

Thoughtful spaces. Restful stays.

Natural textures, familiar comforts and a view worth waking up for.

Rooted in earth.
Rich in character.

Rammed-earth walls. The warmth of timber. Details shaped by artisans from Bhaktapur. Every corner holds a connection to the place we call home.

Since opening in 2024, our idea has been simple: create a welcoming retreat that feels part of the landscape, with care for the land and the people around us.

Good food.
A beautiful place
to share it.

A leisurely breakfast with a view. A generous Nepali lunch. A warm dinner as the hills turn quiet. At Suryodaya Kitchen, local produce and thoughtful cooking set the rhythm of the day.
