The design of the ecoresort was guided by a strong interest in cultural sensitivity and environmental sustainability. The main lodge and dining hall - inspired by indigenous architectural styles - are organized around a courtyard that faces the iconic Fishtail Peak. Individual stone bungalows house the guests, and are clustered together on terraced ridgetops, like the surrounding Chettri villages. Local masons built the lodge and bungalows using stone quarried directly from the site, shaped with hand tools, and mortared in place with a mixture of red clay found in the area. As a result, the resort fits naturally into its ancient agrarian surroundings.
