Dusit Thani Himalayan Resort Dhulikhel, Nepal, stands as the first luxury-branded resort in the enchanting region of Dhulikhel, nestled amid the breathtaking Himalayan foothills, bordered by the Mahabharat range and the Alpine highland ridge. Its picturesque location places it in proximity to the revered Buddhist pilgrimage site of Namo Buddha.
Managed by Dusit International, a prominent Thai hotel and property development company, the resort seamlessly blends Dusit's renowned Thai-inspired hospitality with local culture and traditions. The name "Dusit Thani" translates to "Town in Heaven" in Thai, a fitting tribute to the captivating charm of its surroundings, where nature and heritage converge to offer an unforgettable experience.
Conveniently situated just a little over an hour's drive from Tribhuvan International Airport and 25 kilometers from Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the resort presents guests with a mesmerizing escape. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by their own personal butler, a first-of-its-kind offering in Nepal, ensuring impeccable service and a tailored experience throughout their stay. The resort also aims to redefine hospitality by providing a wellness experience that resonates with both guests and the local community.
