One Rep Global appointed India Representative for Dwarika’s Group of Hotels & Resorts, Nepal

Gurgaon - India, July 2022: One Rep Global has been appointed India representative for Nepal’s premier hospitality brand, Dwarika’s Group of Hotels & Resorts, which operates Dwarika’s Hotel Kathmandu and Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel. Host to international celebrities, royalty and official dignitaries, both properties are epitome of luxury complemented with authentic Nepali hospitality, finesse and grace.

Established in 1972, the Dwarika’s Hotel, Kathmandu has become synonymous to a ‘living museum’ as it continues to preserve, restore and revive Nepal’s historic, cultural and architectural heritage. Started as the founder, Mr. Dwarika Das Shrestha’s quest to rescue intricately carved wooden masterpieces that were being used as firewood, the hotel has evolved to become one of the biggest sanctuaries for original carved woodworks. With an in-house heritage and training workshop, Dwarika’s continues to rescue and restore original wooden artefacts to this day as its impressive collection displays original wooden masterpieces dating as far back as the 13th century. Located 10 minutes from Tribhuwan International Airport and within a stone’s throw from Pashupatinath Temple, the hotel offers a unique sense of tranquil and private space immersed in historic architectural style, reminiscence of Malla era grandeur of the Kathmandu valley.

Likewise, tucked away amid 25 acres of preserved jungle on the beautiful hills of Dhulikhel, the all-suite Dwarika’s Resort offers pure escapism with a touch of spiritual charm. The 40-suite luxury resort represents unpretentious luxury, exuding the ambiance of an opulent residential compound. The resort draws its inspiration from the Himalayan holistic lifestyle which beliefs in the need to maintain harmony between the body, mind, spirit, and Earth for a peaceful life. And its design respects and accentuates the pristine qualities of its picturesque natural setting. Intimate and serene features blend seamlessly into the dense mountainous foliage, living spaces are available both indoors and outdoors along with dining, yoga classes, and spa treatments overlooking the Himalayan splendor.

René Vijay Shrestha Einhaus, Executive Director, Dwarika‘s Group said, “The Dwarika‘s Group of Hotels and Resorts is extremely excited to start our journey with One Rep Global tapping into the Indian luxury tourism market. We believe to have found the perfect partner that understands & shares our values and that will allow us to maximize our sales potential in the Indian market. Due to Nepal’s deep cultural connection with India, the beauty of the Himalayas, the close proximity and Nepal’s pleasant climate, we are certain that the Indian market offers huge scope. We are eager to explore this scope with One Rep Global.”

Hemant Mediratta, Founder - One Rep Global commented, “I instantly fell in love when I first visited Dwarika's Kathmandu about 20 years ago. Charmed by its grandeur, beauty and heritage, it reflects escapism, spirituality and harmony in a picturesque natural setting. It's our privilege to represent such a magnificent hotel deep-rooted in Nepalese culture. The evolved Indian luxury traveller would truly appreciate the value that Dwarika’s offers. The Dwarika's Kathmandu and Dhulikhel are the perfect combination for an experiential 5-night Nepal itinerary, ideal for HNI FITs, family travel, small corporate groups and high-end incentives."
