Course Description
An oasis of peace and tranquility, steeped in rich historical and cultural significance, the main resort complex derives its influence from an architectural blend of Malla and Rana royal palaces. The temperate forest of medieval Kathmandu Valley has been protected for over 500 years - nourishing and providing shelter to a wide variety of birds and animals including spotted deer and monkeys, all of which are easily spotted throughout the Resort grounds. Whether you want to be fully engaged with golf, spa treatments, forest walks, bird watching, cycling, driving range practice and a cart tour, or you just want to enjoy doing nothing at all, the quiet, natural and peaceful environment of the resort makes it the perfect getaway for relaxation and indulgence.
