In the late 1980s, Nepal’s leading tourism pioneer Ang Tshering Sherpa arrived at Lakhuri. He was struck by how majestic it was to stare squarely at the great Himalayas from a spot so close to Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. Standing atop this hill, above gracefully descending rice terraces, he discovered an incomparable view of both the Himalayas and Kathmandu.
Today, The Terraces invites guests to share the awe of this Himalayan story. As if a continuation of the rice terraces below, the hotel rises up from the slopes in the manner of a Himalayan monastery, or Dzong, its construction guided by divine inspiration.
