This property scores 3.6/5 on MylocalDost’s Sustainable Criteria — a reflection of its commitment to conscious living. From supporting local livelihoods to protecting nature, every choice here is creating real, lasting impact. Here’s How:

Supports Local Communities & Cultures

All team members and sourcing partners come from the surrounding valley. Guests experience customised, locally rooted meals and cultural storytelling that creates direct income opportunities for families in Menchuka.

Green Environment & Biodiversity Conservation

Over 300 native Himalayan plants, including pine and maple species, are maintained across the property with ongoing care and survival monitoring to strengthen green cover and ecological resilience.

Air & Water Quality

In the Temba language, Menchuka means “medicinal glacier water,” a name rooted in the valley’s snow-fed streams and pristine mountain sources. Crisp air, immense greenery, and undisturbed wildlife define the atmosphere here.

Waste Management

Waste is segregated at source, organic matter is composted responsibly, and recyclables are routed through local channels to prevent landfill leakage in this sensitive Himalayan region.

Temperature & Energy Management

With intermittent grid electricity in Menchuka, the property operates on efficient lighting, inverter backups, and disciplined consumption to reduce strain on a fragile mountain power system.

Travel & Transportation

Located slightly away from the main town, the property reduces exposure to traffic density and noise, encouraging slower travel rhythms and a lower-impact mountain stay.

Food & Guest Experience

Guests enjoy fully customised meals, immersive storytelling, flora and fauna walks, and quiet spaces near monasteries and prayer wheels, designed to support reflection and restoration.

Education on Sustainable Living

Built with locally sourced stone, wood, brick, and regional construction methods, the property prioritizes belonging to the landscape over imposing upon it.
