Riepe suits both the active and the idle hikes along the east-west ridge, the stunning views from idyllic spots created by nature for yoga and pilates, or just that book-to-finish, and the simplicity of just being here.

Riepe Village is an authentic village let you to observe the local life and traditional, interact with local people and with your hosts, immerse in their culture and daily lifestyales, learn the local Nepali language, participate in the agricultural lifestyle, and observe the local festival. In the warm heart of Nepal, on a terraced hillside, where the Marsyangdi meanders below and where the views of the high Himalaya are utterly spectacular, there is a small cluster of farms that forms a beguiling village. Here the almost forgotten simplicities of yesteryear are being revitalised. And here, awaiting the genuinely responsible eco traveller is Riepe, a small rural community quietly focussing on the future.

Nature has blessed these Himalayan foothills, life has been wholesome and good and generations have lived here in harmony. Yet, elsewhere in the region, the children of highland folk are migrating and many villages are already emptying, houses and small-holdings stand eerily vacant, causing the tenor of the ancient ways to falter. But not so in Riepe. This village really stands out for awesome views of Manaslu and the Annapurnas, for the pure freshness of the air and the wonderful bounty of nature here at 1,250m, for the charming homes linked by ancient pathways, and, not least, for simple, genuine hospitality.

The village of Riepe is spoken of as growing the future by reclaiming the essence of the past. Now in year four, Riepe’s coffee and avocado projects combine with more traditional produce to form a patchwork of niche agricultural enterprises. At the same time, Riepe has a growing reputation for extending a very warm welcome to visitors; for this place of great natural beauty is also so comfortable and relaxing. The eight guest rooms are really charming and all are aligned for the best mountain views. And each one has up-to-date en suite facilities.
