Nepal
has eight World Heritage sites and has won two Heritage
Awards. One for the Medieval City of Bhaktapur and
the other for The Dwarika's Hotel.
The
magnificence of The Dwarika's is its buildings of intricate
carved wood and terracotta work that must have taken
10 million hours of the best craftsmen in Nepal. Every
brick is handmade and every piece of wood work a centuries
old original. But The Dwarika's is also about intimate
luxury and the spirit and hospitality of the Nepali
people.
The
spirit of a bygone era still echoes within its courtyards
where a terracotta pillar: a first of its kind, stands
proud, an example of superb craftsmanship.
Dwarika Das Shrestha, the founder of
The Dwarika's Hotel whose spirit and passion laid out
the master plan of this unique place and who gave
the best part of his life to build it, leading hundreds
of the best builders and craftsmen.
