When traveling we usually like to see everything and do everything we can during our visit. Stepping into the Dwarika’s Kathmandu Hotel changed all that.  I never wanted to leave! Once you walk through the doors you’re in another world.

From the airport drive though dusty streets, jammed with traffic, all honking horns, you step into a serene, 13th century royal palace. With three restaurants, a spa, and travel agents you don’t have to leave!

There is the poolside FUSION BAR, the restaurant TORAN serving traditional Nepali cuisine, the more elegant dining experience of KRISHNARPAN, and MAKO’S Japanese fine dining.

PANACHA KOSHA SPA provides the expected array of services with Nepali style. I tried the “Singing/ Healing Bowls” one hour treatment.  Singing bowls can be seen all over Kathmandu in all kinds of sizes and I was curious!  Really impossible to describe the treatment. You should experiment yourself!

Dwarika’s founder had a passion for conserving the architecture and heritage of the Nepali arts, especially the woodcaving of doors, windows, and architectural works.  The hotel has Nepal’s largest collection of these dating from the 13th century.  This is a museum or santuary that happens to be a hotel.

By the time we had to leave I could definitely say that anyone visiting Kathmandu must stay at the DWARIKA to experience the true Nepal hospitality and culture.
