Bespoke Luxury
in the Himalayas
Consulting and Execution for the discerning
Das Edelweiß
Der Geliebte der Könige.
Legend has it that high in the Alps, there lived a hauntingly beautiful queen with a heart of pure ice. The queen’s melodious singing lured many a forlorn shepherd to her castle. Her frozen heart unable to love, she would quickly tire of them and order her loyal gnomes to cast the hapless men upon the rocks below to their deaths. One day, an ordinary shepherd found his way to her castle and the queen fell in love with him. The jealous gnomes, fearing their mistress would marry the mortal and abandon them, threw him into a crevasse where his heart was crushed. When she learned of the tragedy, her heart melted enough for her to shed one tear.
That tear became an Edelweiß.
The road from Kathgodam winds up the hills,
past Amritpur’s verdancy of teak and sal,
past Bhimtal’s tranquil azure,
past Padampuri’s ochre carpet of pine needles,
past the silver lichens on the peaches and pears of Dhanachuli…
…until heavens meet the earth.
There, in Sunderkhal,
in the majestic presence of Trishul and Nanda Devi…
…Mont invites you
to Das Edelweiß
the finest bespoke luxury villa in the Himalayas;
the beloved of emperors.
Trodden feet by the crackling hearth
The contented traveller knocks back a warm Remy
