Shah Hemp Inno-Ventures A social enterprise based in Nepal, transforming wild-grown hemp into authentic ecological products.

Shah Hemp Inno-Ventures, led by Nivedita Bansal and Dhiraj K. Shah, a social enterprise based in Nepal, is transforming wild-grown hemp into a catalyst for fair employment, economic growth, climate change mitigation, eco-friendly construction and sustainable hemp-based product.We work with local stakeholders to create meaningful employment, hemp-based housing, and unique craft products with hemp f

ibers that support the development of their community. We are the first company in Nepal to create a supply chain with local villagers in Nepal to source the hemp stalks (which are otherwise burnt) and process them through our small scale machinery to produce Hemp Shivs for construction and Hemp fiber for textile & paper making. We encourage use of small man assisting machines to improve output and generate more and more employment rather than replacing humans with big industrial machines. We have created ethical small scale supplies for local renewable resources. We treat our social and environmental impact as a primary measure of success for our business and prioritize it even in cases where it may not drive profitability. Connect with us for hempcrete construction and all its raw material, authentic 100% hemp bags, backpack, handmade hemp paper, hemp soaps, hemp oils.

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.
