Perched on a hillside an hour from Kathmandu and just beyond the city of Bhaktapur, Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel is a serene spot with meditative views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks on a clear day. This sister property to the popular Dwarika’s in Kathmandu shares the same attention to detail and consideration of the environment in its use of natural materials and local craftsmanship. Its holistic approach extends from the wellness programmes to the architectural design and gardens, with every detail aiming to cleanse the area of negative energy and attract positive energy.
The 39 Suites and one Villa are calming, tranquil spaces with neutral tones, wooden furniture, Nepalese fabrics and organic local toiletries. While the mountain views are exceptional, the wellness facilities of the property are another draw, with a Himalayan Salt Room, Chakra Sound Therapy Chamber, yoga, mediation, Ayurvedic doctor and indoor and outdoor swimming pools amongst the extensive options. In keeping with this holistic wellbeing ethos, the dining options focus on fresh, local, organic and seasonal ingredients, with most drawn from the hotel’s organic farms.
Adding a hefty dose of cool, contemporary living to this rural, remote region outside Pokhara, Pavilions is a fantastic balance of sustainability, community-minded priorities, and luxury.
Standing as a beacon of sympathetic restoration, skilled craftsmanship and ancient practices, Dwarika’s is a boutique property in a residential area of Kathmandu.
Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge straddles a ridge 1,000 ft above the valley, with breathtaking panoramic views of the mighty Himalayas.
