About
About this getaway
High above sprawling valleys, where prayer flags lift in the wind and terraced fields taper toward the Indrawati River, Dwarika's Sanctuary opens onto the Himalayan horizon. For centuries, Dhulikhel has been a place of retreat for monks and seekers; today, it remains a setting where the rhythms of body and land move as one.
Designed as an all-inclusive Himalayan wellbeing resort, the Sanctuary offers multi-day immersions that blend ancient wisdom with restorative living — traced through the Five Koshas of yogic thought, woven into meals grown from the soil, and held in therapies shaped by Himalayan traditions. Included in every stay, their signature three-night immersion unfolds through daily yoga, Ayurvedic consultation, mountain-led breathwork, and encounters with land and lineage.
At the heart of the property is the Pancha Kosha Spa village, rooted in Ayurveda and Buddhist medicine. Suites rise from the hillside in timber, stone, and handwoven linens. Dining begins on the Collection's own farms across Nepal. Guests book direct through dwarikas.com/sanctuary. MindReach does not take bookings or commission.
Dwarika's Sanctuary is the Dhulikhel wellbeing house of Dwarika's Collection — the family hospitality group that grew from Dwarika Das Shrestha's work rescuing Newari craft in Kathmandu in the 1950s. Three generations on, the Collection frames both Kathmandu and Dhulikhel as stewardship: heritage lived as hospitality.
