12 June 2026 – Himalayan Hideaway Resort Pokhara, The Centara Collection, has announced the appointment of Samjhana Prasai as its new Associate Director of Sales.
Bringing more than 13 years of experience in Nepal’s hospitality sector, Prasai joins the resort with an extensive background in sales, business development, and client relationship management. Her appointment is expected to further strengthen the resort’s commercial strategy and support its continued growth in both domestic and international markets.
Prasai began her hospitality career as a Sales Executive at Godawari Village Resort and has since held key sales positions at Summit Hotel, The Everest Hotel, and Dusit Thani Himalayan Resort. Throughout her career, she has developed expertise in revenue generation, corporate partnerships, and group business, while building strong relationships across the travel and hospitality industry.
Her experience spans leisure travel as well as meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE), with a proven ability to create tailored experiences for diverse client segments.
Reflecting on her journey in hospitality, Prasai said:
“It is the people. Every guest carries a different story, a different world. Seeing that smile—the moment a guest feels truly at home; is what makes everything worthwhile. The privilege of interacting with professionals from so many different industries keeps me learning every single day.”
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Prasai is recognised by colleagues for her dedication, leadership, and collaborative approach. As a working mother of two, she brings a balance of professional expertise and personal resilience to her new role.
The management team at Himalayan Hideaway Resort Pokhara welcomed Prasai to the Centara family, expressing confidence in her ability to contribute to the resort’s growth and strengthen its position within Nepal’s hospitality landscape.
