Dwarika ‘s Hotel – A Heaven on Earth

The Dwarika’s Hotel, The first visit to the Dwarika Hotel with my wife Akritee for a drink leaves me a wonderful moment. The Second visit  with  Sachit and his family  from Cologne for a cup of  coffee impress me a lot. Everytime when I go there it leaves me a wondermoment. An entrace fee to enter the Hotel is acceptable eventhough it is free to enter the Hotel. .  This is the best Hotel in  the city with  a living tribute to Nepal’s Architectural and Cultural Heritage. There are different food Events going at the Dwarika’s Hotel.  Some pictures  of the food Events;

Friday Barbeque at Dwarika’s Hotel

I am  lucky to have this wonderful place only    15 minutes walk from my residence. I haven’t been to the Friday Barbeque yet. I am sure I will be go someday soon.
 Hope I will see you there on Friday. The story of  the Dwarika’s Hotel starts in 1952, the late Dwarika Das Shrestha (1925-1992) passionate to collect the old Doors and windows. As his collection grows, he have less space to store them. He decided to construct a building   in the old newar style of  Kathmandu, using the carved windows and doors that he collected. After constructing one after another building, it turns into the Dwarika’s Village Hotel.

The Dream of the Dwarika Das Shrestha
to recreate a 15th-17th century environment where tourist and Nepali alike would have a sensation of the original”.
Through the fulfillment of his dream would come the source and vehicle for distributing the gains of development into the different sectors of society and people.
Firstly, this was in the form of training                                               Image:  The Dwarika’s Hotel CD Catalogue from the                                                                                          ITB Fair Berlin 2008
