Spanning over two hectares, the resort boasts eight cottages that reflect Tharu cultural elements. Malaysian national Donald Chai oversees operations, aiming to position the resort as a global standard-bearer. Facilities include a helipad for emergency medical services and private cottages equipped with amenities like swimming pools, saunas, and jacuzzis.
The resort also offers local Himalayan products such as Syauka Parikar and Mah from Bhair Mori, along with traditional Himalayan cuisine. Lama disclosed, “Our investment has surpassed Rs. 500 million to date, with plans to exceed Rs. 1 billion shortly.”
Future initiatives include drawing tourists to nearby attractions like Chitwan National Park, Sirai Chuli, and Devghat. Recently, Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation Hit Bahadur Tamang inaugurated the resort, marking a significant milestone in cultural tourism development.
