Our stay at the resort was quite an experience! The scenery was breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade that provided stunning views and a spacious outdoor area. However, there were several steps to navigate, and the food options seemed limited for the price. Overall, it was magical, but more time is definitely needed to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer.

Dwarika's Resort in Dhulikhel is an absolute gem, combining stunning nature, exceptional service, and a luxurious experience that you won't find anywhere else. The surroundings are breathtaking, thanks to its beautiful landscape and serene atmosphere. The rooms are not only spacious but offer magnificent views of the Himalayas. The dining experience is top-notch with organic and delicious food, while the facilities, including the spa and infinity pool, are superb. However, the price is on the higher side, and access to the resort seems to be restricted for non-guests, which can be a bit disappointing.

Staying at this resort was a serene escape from the chaos of Kathmandu, situated beautifully in the mountains with stunning views. The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, and I absolutely loved the amenities provided, including the fresh fruit basket. However, I did find that the service around the pool and jacuzzi could use some improvement, and there were a couple of quirks with the room lighting. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I wish I could have stayed longer.
