Try the spa’s excellent Nasya sinus treatment – wonderful pre- or a post-long-haul flight to revitalize one’s prana, or life force.
Dhulikhel is famous for its sunrise and sunset views of Everest… you don’t have to go very far to experience spectacular vistas at Dwarika’s Sanctuary.
No journey to Nepal is complete without an Everest flight. The Dwarika’s Sanctuary offers a one-hour morning flight that showcases an awe-inspiring panorama of some of the world’s highest peaks.
There are numerous walks and hikes from Dwarika’s Sanctuary. My favorite is the half-day walk to Palanchowk combining breathtaking mountain views with a sacred temple visit – Bhagawati Temple in Palanchowk houses one of the most beautiful and important Bhagawati statues in Nepal.
One of the most visited areas of Nepal due to its very famous neighbor – with grand and panoramic mountain views, numerous temples, dramatic landscapes, and diversity of people. You will have a complete panoramic view of the snowy ranges from Karyolung in the east to Himalchuli in the west. Combine that with an extensive selection of healing rituals and experience a healing lifestyle during your stay. Ventours International is on hand to assist you with unique insights into the surrounding areas and one-of-a-kind experiences specifically tailored to your client.
At Dwarika’s Collection, sustainability is not an initiative—it is the foundation of who we are. We define luxury through the values of time, space, and handmade. At the Dwarikas, everything is original and handmade by local artisans – giving their work modern relevance and sustainability.
We believe that the culture and landscape of Nepal are the soul of our brand, and this deep-rootedness is present in everything we do. Each property reflects this relationship in its own way. In Kathmandu, through the careful revival and conservation of architectural and cultural heritage. In Dhulikhel, through the ancient philosophies of Himalayan wellbeing and the enduring wisdom of traditional life.
The same philosophy guides the way we build and live. We leave a lighter footprint by repurposing materials that have already been taken from the earth. Guests do not just visit heritage; they live in it, with thirteenth- to fifteenth-century carved pillars and windows integrated into the very fabric of our guest rooms. Guided by a no-waste and earthy approach, we source food from our six organic farms, ensuring our guests enjoy the same quality of food we serve our own family.
We offer a way of life that is true to our beliefs—one that carries heritage, craftsmanship, and the land forward with care from one generation to the next. It is this depth of experience that leaves a lasting impression on those who stay with us.
