Shah Hemp Inno-Ventures

For almost 10 years, Shah H**p Inno-Ventures has been experimenting with h**p, lime, bamboo, clay, and natural systems to create practical solutions for healthier and more sustainable buildings.

This is one of our latest h**p innovations — and we’re opening the conversation at the Materia Awards Mountain Architecture workshop in Kathmandu.

Did you know Nepal once had a legal system to regulate cannabis cultivation?

While reading “Cannabis in Nepal: An Overview” by James Fisher (Cannabis and Culture, 2011), we came across something fascinating.

Under Nepal’s Intoxicants Act of 1961, cannabis cultivation was licensed and taxed.

- Farmers could legally cultivate cannabis (typically one bigha)
- The government collected excise and sales taxes
- Shops in Kathmandu paid official taxes
- Much of the cultivation happened in the Terai districts — Bara, Parsa, Siraha, Dhanusha and Mahottari

In other words, Nepal once had a regulated cannabis system.

As conversations about cannabis policy slowly return today, an important question arises:

Could the future of cannabis in Nepal lie in understanding its past?

Also — if anyone has access to the full text of Nepal’s Intoxicants Act of 1961, please share it.
Understanding the original law is essential before we try to shape the future.

Sometimes the answers we seek… are already part of our history.

We don’t always notice how much our surroundings influence us — until a space feels calm, breathable, and quietly supportive.

Building Naturally is our way of rethinking construction through human experience. Using h**p, lime, bamboo, and earth, we create environments that work with climate, soften everyday living, and support wellbeing in subtle but meaningful ways.

At Shah H**p Inno-Ventures, natural building isn’t just an environmental decision. It’s a thoughtful response to how people truly inhabit space.

Living Naturally begins with how we build.

For years, our work has quietly been guided by one simple intention — to return to ways of living that feel more aligned with nature and with ourselves.

Living Naturally — choosing conscious materials and mindful lifestyles

Craft Naturally — honouring handmade skills and local wisdom

Building Naturally — creating spaces that breathe with the earth

Wellness Naturally — supporting health through what we touch, use and live in

This is not a new direction for us.

It is the thread that has always connected everything we do at Shah H**p Inno-Ventures.

And perhaps… it is also an invitation — to pause, reflect, and rediscover what natural living can mean in today’s world.

There’s something quietly powerful about stepping into a h**pcrete home—your body relaxes before your mind can explain why.

In this video, a senior h**p builder Sergiy Doctor-H**phouse shares his honest review after experiencing this home built with h**pcrete in Pokhara, Nepal firsthand.

And the best part?

This home is open to guests. If you’d like to book a stay and truly feel what living in a h**pcrete house is like, you can contact the homeowner directly— we are sharing their page here.
