Situated at about 30 miles covered in 45 minute drive,
to the east of Kathmandu, lies the small town of Dhulikhel.
Nestled in the laps of Himalayas, the place offers a breathtaking
view of the northeastern part of the mountains. Dhulikhel
is located at the foothills of the Panchkhal Valley, which
is about 21 miles to the east of Kathmandu on a Chinese
built Arniko highway, which leads to Tibet, crossing at
Kodari.
Dhulikhel, at a height of 1550m, is host to some beautiful
buildings. The local people living there are called
Newars. Built in Victorian Style, the four to five-storyed
brick mansions in the town are an architectural delight
and accommodate close traditional Newar settlement.
The much popular Newari woodcraft is showcased at the
resorts such as the Dhulikhel Mountain Resort and Himalayan
Horizon in traditional manner but with modern amenities.
