    Description

    Welcome!

    I'm Sandro, a mountain film maker who's spent much of the last 10 years exploring Nepal's highest peaks.

    It's time to settle in this beautiful country and build a home/studio/ravecave in Kathmandu. The capital city of Nepal offers endless opportunities to explore culture, adventure and yourself.

    I've found an empty 7 bedroom house I want to fill with chill creatives who like to have fun but also get things done. Situated 35 mins walk or 10 min ride from the main tourist/party spot, Thamel . The house is in a super central and surprisingly quiet area.

    The plan is to spend 3 months decorating and building furniture, friends and memories before going full steam on film and photography output.

    The current crew includes -

    Emma 🇮🇹 Dub pixie, gardener, pizza oven expert.

    Surendar 🇮🇳 DJ, didgeridoo, production.

    Vanya 🇺🇦 Editor, rolling, mountain man.

    Sandro 🇬🇧 Head silly billy, camera department.

    Subodh, Eddie, Saman 🇳🇵Production crew, chillers.

    Our motto is -

    Take it easy,
    But take it

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The house currently has 3 empty bed rooms and lots of space. I'll find mattresses and bedding but until a carpenter arrives it'll be on the floor. Currently we have 2 antique kitchens with a pizza oven on the way.

    We plan to cook and eat together, everyone will be well fed, watered and relaxed if that's your vibe.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Kathmandu is a hugely diverse, bustling city surrounded by endless snowy mountains.

    Near the house are cafes, cinemas, climbing gyms and dive bars. There's a growing techno/dnb scene but also yoga and temples. Every alley way seems to hold treasure waiting to be discovered.

    A few hours drive away are forests, lakes and hills. Ideal to trekking or chilling in nature.

    A few days drive away are the real mountains and endless adventure.
