The Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel: Himalayan Sanctuary for Body, Mind & Soul
Perched at around 1,700 m in Dhulikhel just an hour from Kathmandu. The Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel is a boutique, all-suite wellness retreat surrounded by pine and rhododendron forests with commanding views of the Langtang Himalayas. Blending traditional Newari-Gurung architecture with modern comfort, it offers a serene sanctuary emphasizing holistic living and mindful restoration.
Spacious Suites & Alpine Design
Boasting 39 to 40 generously sized suites set across charming hillside cottages, accommodations feature indoor-outdoor living spaces, hand crafted terracotta roofs, wooden floors, and natural interiors. Room categories Newari, Gurung, Executive, Royal offer private terraces or garden decks that flood the interiors with Himalayan light.
Holistic Himalayan Cuisine
Dining spans three on-site restaurants Nature’s Flavours (international dishes from the estate’s organic farm), Mako’s Zen (vegetarian Japanese inspired by Buddhist practice), and Ananta Poolside Restaurant (Nepali meets international fusion). Meals are fresh, seasonal, and grounded in local tradition.
Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa & Wellness Rituals
The resort’s signature wellness Pancha Kosha Spa draws on Ayurveda, Buddhist healing, Himalayan herbs, chakra sound therapy, meditation in salt and crystal chambers, yoga halls, and a maze with Shiva Linga carvings. A Himalayan salt room, indoor-outdoor pools, and forest yoga spaces complete the immersive wellness experience.
Nature, Culture & Retreat Experiences
Set on over 25 acres of forest, the property offers guided spiritual treks, butterfly-watching, farm tours, pottery, traditional block printing, farmers’ lunches, Hindu astronomy teachings, Buddhist philosophy, and vow renewal ceremonies. A helipad even allows Everest flight excursions at sunrise.
What Makes It Stand Out
Unmatched mountain immersion—full Himalayan panoramas from valley to snowline
Holistic design & local craft—hand-built architecture blending into the hillside
Wellness rooted in tradition—treatments led by Ayurvedic doctors, astrologers, and monks
Mindful activities & sustainability—sound therapy, meditation, nature connection, organic farming, and eco-conscious operations
Perfect For…
Ideal for wellness seekers, honeymooners, cultural explorers, and families seeking quiet luxury in the Himalayan foothills. It suits travelers craving mindful connection, natural immersion, and a retreat rhythm whether stepping from the spa into an infinity pool or wandering the forest trails in contemplative silence.
