Five- to seven-day offsites for founding teams, product teams, and leadership groups of six to twenty. You bring the people and the agenda — we handle everything from Kathmandu airport to the last meal.
Team sizes 6–20 · 5–7 days · From $2,400 per person
Three shapes we run most often. All three flex — group size, rooms, days — once we have your actual constraints.
5 days · 6–12 people
$3,400 per person
A small-group retreat for leadership teams making a real decision — a funding round, a pivot, a reorg, or the annual plan. Facilitated, lightly structured, and designed to surface the hard conversations you have been avoiding at the office.
Included
Sample day shape
7 days · 8–15 people
$2,800 per person
For product and engineering teams shipping something real together. We set up a proper workspace, run daily standups, and stay out of the way the rest of the time. Weekdays feel like your best week at work; the weekend is yours.
Included
Sample day shape
5 days · 10–20 people
$2,400 per person
For teams that have grown fast and need time together without slides. More structured programme than the other two — hikes, shared meals, one cultural day in the valleys — but no trust falls and no forced fun. Designed to leave a team feeling like they actually know each other.
Included
Sample day shape
Day three of a seven-day engineering offsite outside Pokhara. Nothing is mandatory except meals; nothing is cancelled if weather turns.
Early tea and pastries set out on the terrace. Optional walk to the ridge behind the lodge for sunrise over the Annapurna range. No one notices if you sleep in.
Breakfast on the lodge terrace. Full spread — local and continental, vegetarian default, anything the team has requested. The cook knows everyone's name by day three.
Daily standup in the workspace, 30 minutes. Facilitator present but quiet. Each person says what they are working on and where they are stuck.
Focus block. Shared workspace, fibre, and the kind of quiet that makes two hours feel like a morning. Backup 4G router on the side table in case the fibre drops.
Lunch arrives where the team is already sitting. No packing up, no commute. People drift to the dining room one at a time.
Paired work, architecture review, or a stuck-session where one engineer walks the group through a problem. Your call. Our facilitator runs it if you want them to.
Unstructured hour. Sauna. Walk to the lake. Nap. Call home. The lodge dog sleeps under the desk.
One team member presents what they have been working on this week. Twenty minutes, followed by discussion. This is optional but people always come.
Dinner together, long. The ops lead joins if you want company, stays away if you don't.
Optional: a film in the common room, cards, or early sleep. No one minds which you pick.
We run retreats in three places. Pokhara (820m, lakeside, reliable fibre, short domestic flight from Kathmandu) for engineering offsites and working retreats where connectivity matters most. Nagarkot (2,100m, ninety-minute drive from Kathmandu, panoramic ridge) for leadership teams who want altitude and quiet without losing accessibility. The Dhulikhel foothills (1,500m, forty minutes from the city, terraced valleys) for culture retreats and mixed groups. Each sits low enough to work from and high enough that the light, air, and silence contribute something a hotel in a capital city cannot.
Since 2023 we have run retreats for engineering teams from Berlin, Singapore, and San Francisco; leadership offsites for two VC-backed SaaS companies; and culture retreats for agencies between twelve and twenty-two people. References available on request under NDA.
We are not a hotel booker with a sales page, and we are not a yoga studio that opened a corporate arm. Before we quote, we run a 20-minute scoping call to understand your goals, constraints, and team. Every retreat is staffed with one operations lead who travels with your team the full week and handles every logistical detail — food, transport, connectivity, anything that comes up. Each workspace has redundant internet. We do not oversell activities, because a working retreat should feel like your best week of work, in a better room.
Everything a team lead wants to know before an internal pitch.
We had avoided a pricing conversation for six months. We closed it in the first three days in Pokhara, and still had time to ship the feature we came to ship.

Our ops lead caught a visa issue for one of our engineers before we boarded. I have never had a retreat company catch something like that before we did.

We booked expecting it to be mostly a trip. It ended up being the most structured week of planning we have done this year. The facilitator was quietly excellent.

Case study
Ledger (Berlin, 11 people) spent seven days in Pokhara in November 2025 to close their Series A roadmap planning. They arrived with an unfinished two-year plan and a pricing model the sales team did not believe in. They left with both, validated. Their CEO told us the retreat paid for itself inside a quarter.

Working retreats cap at 2,500m sleeping elevation, which is low enough that altitude sickness is rare. We carry a pulse oximeter on every trip and have a standing relationship with a medical team in Kathmandu. If someone struggles, we can descend within a few hours.
Yes to both. We invoice in USD, EUR, or GBP. We are comfortable with standard procurement flows, vendor onboarding, and net-30 or net-60 terms. A deposit secures the dates; the balance is due before arrival.
Often, yes. Partner add-ons work best as a weekend before or after the retreat and are quoted separately. Pricing depends on accommodation and transport — let us know at booking so we can scope it.
Deposits are refundable up to sixty days out. Between sixty and thirty days, we hold the deposit as credit toward a future retreat within twelve months. Within thirty days, standard supplier terms apply — we pass these through at cost, nothing added.
Three months is comfortable. Six months is ideal for peak season (October–November and March–April). We have occasionally turned around a retreat in six weeks when a location was already confirmed and flights were available.
Yes. Our workspaces are set up for hybrid sessions — ceiling mics, a good camera, and a dedicated remote line. It is rarely as good as being in the room, but it works.
We will sign your NDA. We do not photograph your team or workspace without explicit permission. We do not name client companies on this website or anywhere else without written approval.
Yes. Each package includes facilitator time, but if you prefer to bring your own or run the retreat entirely internally, we will scope a version that excludes our facilitator. It typically reduces the price by $200–$400 per person.
We reply within two working days. Nothing is quoted before we have had a conversation.
Include team size, rough dates, and what you are hoping the retreat accomplishes. That is usually enough to start.
