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. A wellness retreat in Dhulikhel, yes — but also a place where mountains and silence gently hold the measure of life itself.
Read Our PhilosophyRegenerative and all-inclusive, Dwarika’s Sanctuary offers multi-day Himalayan immersions in wellbeing, yogic philosophy, and healing traditions.
Regenerative & All-inclusive
Regenerative and all-inclusive, the Curated Himalayan Stay is our signature three-night immersion — a crafted rhythm of Himalayan healing shaped by consultation, practice, ritual, and nourishment. Each journey begins with a personal Ayurvedic assessment, then unfolds through daily yoga, mountain-led breathwork, meditative spaces built of salt and crystal, and encounters with land and lineage. Every element is designed to help you return to clarity — gently, naturally, and at the pace of the mountains.
Our approach to wellness follows an ancient yogic framework that sees the self in layers — body, energy, mind, insight, and bliss.

Sanctuary Retreats
Retreats at Dwarika’s Sanctuary are multi-day immersions shaped as pathways rather than bundles, rooted in the philosophy of the koshas and weaving therapies, practices, and meals from the land into a rhythm that spans days, not hours.
A therapeutic yoga immersion designed to restore the body's natural capacity for healing. Guided by our Yoga Therapist and Ayurvedic Doctor, this retreat blends breath, movement, meditation, and subtle healing practices to relieve physical and mental strain and reawaken balance from within.
A holistic journey that lightens body and mind through Ayurvedic therapies, mindful movement, cleansing rituals, and a personalised wellness diet.

A revitalising immersion that strengthens the body's natural defences through dynamic yoga, energising pranayama, and personalised Ayurvedic care. Nutrient-balanced meals and tailored treatments support clarity, stamina, and steady, renewed energy.
Suites at Dwarika’s Sanctuary rise from the hillside in the rhythm of the fields, their timber, stone, and handwoven dhaka opening onto forest, valley, or peaks, while inside, quiet takes form in natural fabrics, earth and sky tones, and crafted details that make privacy inseparable from calm.
Facilities
From infinity pools and meditation mazes to salt rooms and forested decks, each space at Dwarika’s Sanctuary is designed as part of a rhythm of pause and renewal. Here, water, stone, and landscape gather into havens where quiet is not found but made.
Pancha Kocha Spa
At the heart of the Sanctuary lies the Pancha Kosha Spa village, rooted in Ayurveda and Buddhist medicine and expressed through herbs, oils, meditation, breath, and treatments where body and mind return to conversation.
Farm-to-table cuisine rooted in Ayurvedic principles, with ingredients harvested from our organic gardens and prepared to nourish body and spirit.
The kitchens at The Dwarika’s begin in the valleys surrounding Kathmandu, drawing from six farms where rice rises from the Terai, mustard greens thrive in winter fields, and herbs are gathered in the mid-hills. Each harvest arrives with its geography intact, shaping dishes that follow the rhythm of Nepali soil, carried whole into the heart of the city.
