The Pearl is within the Satkhol Himalayan Ashram environment.

The Pearl difference
More than a stay.
The Pearl belongs to a movement rather than to an investor - it changes where the money goes. What a night here earns returns to the campus and ecological preservation around it in the Himalayas. You will not be asked to take part in any of it. It is simply what your stay is doing while you sleep.
Thoughtful
A pace set by the guest, not by the schedule.
Purposeful
Revenue that returns to the place it was earned in.
