Less than 30km from bustling Kathmandu, the provincial town of Dhulikhel is perfect for those in search of peaceful respite and a burst of Nepalese culture.

Dhulikhel is an ancient Newar settlement and magnificently positioned just beyond the Kathmandu Valley. Within reach of fascinating excursions across the beautiful countryside and home to a historically-rich centre, Dhulikhel is a wonderful destination for your Nepalese journey.

Begin your days watching the sun rise over the majestic Himalayas, with panoramic views stretching over the peaks from Ganesh Himal to Mount Everest.
