About "Sanghimala"   (Nepali word for "circle of friends")

You want to travel the world,
                                 but you would also like to have a purpose......

If you are in search for the proper place for teaching a special course or if you are trying to find a holiday resort with added value, our relaxation centre is probably the place you are looking for.
The Dutch Sanghimala foundation exploits a hotel with adjoined garden restaurant in Pokhara, a town that offers you superb views of the Himalayas. But there is more to this place that distinguishes it from other hotels around the globe than just breathtaking views. The income generated by our enterprise is being used directly to enable young, ambitious Nepali people who otherwise would have little or no chance to climb the social ladder to follow a course that provides them opportunities for a career in the hotel and restaurant business.

In addition to their course we provide food, clothing and shelter to our students. Our students may choose to become cooks or waiters, but also we finance language and computer courses that improve their career prospects. In addition we support the establishment of small-scale enterprises.
No matter whether you want to teach a course, join one, or simply want to indulge the homely and relaxed atmosphere of our hotel, your stay is guaranteed to be put to good purpose!
