Lakeside retreat

WHEN it comes to overnighting in the great outdoors, glamping – a portmanteau of glamorous and camping – has become a popular new alternative taking all the best parts about getting closer to nature without shirking the comforts of modern life.

Now, The Pavilions Himalayas Lake View has given Nepal its own taste of glamping with the country’s first luxury tented eco villas. The property features eight separate tented villas that are accessed via paddleboat across Phewa Lake, and surrounded by rice fields and the Annapurna Himalayas. An organic farm provides ingredients for the Nepalese and international cuisine that will be served to its guests. pavilionshotels.com
