Dwarika’s Sanctuary Dhulikhel

Himalayan well-being retreat in the hills

Dwarika’s Sanctuary is situated on forested slopes above Dhulikhel, offering a panoramic view across the expansive Himalayan horizons. Suites step down the hillside like small residences, with stone, clay, wood, and handwoven fabrics setting a quiet, grounded tone.

Every space is tied to a practice: yoga terraces facing the mountains, still meditation rooms, a salt chamber, herbal steam caves, forest trails, and gardens that grow much of what appears on the plate.
