Bec Ordish opened Matan Chhen in 2015, and ran it, along with her Nepali team, until March 2020. When the pandemic hit, Bec knew it was time to return to her Australian home for a while.

While Bec is away, her friends - and big fans of Matan Chhen and Panauti - the team at Himalayan Trails in Kathmandu, are stepping in as caretakers.

The Himalayan Trails staff will be taking care of you during your stay at Matan Chhen, keeping Bec’s vision alive, and hoping to grow the business for when she returns.

They look forward to welcoming you to Matan Chhen and helping you enjoy your adventure in the beautiful village of Panauti and the surrounding areas.
