Atmosphere Core signs its first Nepal resort

Atmosphere Core has signed its first resort in Nepal, Aarunya Nature Resort by Atmosphere, located in the valleys of Banepa, just outside Kathmandu.
 
The 25-acre resort, developed in partnership with Lost Horizon Jungle Resort Limited, will offer a slower, more soulful travel experience, surrounded by misty hills and sacred trails.
 
The resort will feature 51 thoughtfully designed cottages and suites, each framing the Himalayan landscape through large windows and warm interiors.
 
The resort will also feature a wellness sanctuary by Atmosphere Core's award-winning brand, ELE|NA, offering a blend of time-honoured therapies and modern wellness in a setting that embraces stillness and silence.
 
Guests can explore a host of recreational experiences, including nature walks, cultural immersions, and family-friendly activities.
 
An inviting swimming pool and dedicated kids' club will cater to every kind of traveler, from solitude seekers to families and groups.
 
The resort will open in Q4 2025 and will bring the Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts brand's philosophy to life in one of South Asia's most wonder-filled landscapes.
 
Elaborating on this strategic expansion, Salil Panigrahi, Group Managing Director Atmosphere Core, said “Nepal is fast emerging as a key destination in South Asia’s luxury hospitality landscape, and travellers are increasingly seeking immersive, offbeat destinations. With properties coming up in Maldives, India, and Sri Lanka, Aarunya Nature Resort is a natural next step. Our distinctive Holiday Plan concept opens up destinations once reserved for the global elite. It’s about making these spaces more accessible without compromising on authenticity. Aarunya Nature Resort by Atmosphere is more than a resort, it’s a way to truly experience Nepal, its stories, its rituals, its generous spirit”.
 
Gyanendra Lal Pradhan, Chairman of Lost Horizon Jungle Resort Limited, echoed the sentiment, “Partnering with Atmosphere Core is a natural fit. Their approach to hospitality is both grounded in global service standards and elevated by unique experiences – exactly what we envisioned for Aarunya. Surrounded by cultural treasures and iconic trails, like the path to the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery in Namobuddha, Banepa is emerging as a mindful luxury destination. It blends history, spirituality, and natural beauty in a way that few places can. We’re proud to be shaping something special here, together”. -TradeArabia News Service
