| Dwarika's Hotel is a unique place
in South Asia. It is a living example that tourism need not destroy heritage and
the environment. On the contrary, it has demonstrated that a proper blending of
cultural restoration and tourism leads to the preservation of historical artifacts and contributes to the growth of
skills and culture that would otherwise have eroded from the crass commercialism
of today. It has shown that heritage can be preserved and be used for further
preservation works. In fact, it could be the model to demonstrate what must be
done to preserve the look of Kathmandu Valley - a stepping stone towards the
larger and more gigantic task of rehabilitating the uniqueness and beauty of
Kathmandu currently experiencing severe environmental stress of uncontrolled
modernization. Dwarika's Hotel a unique place in
South Asia. Nowhere else is heritage restoration being attempted in a way that
rejuvenates it and makes it a part of today's living environment. Recognizing
this highly original and challenging effort, PATA (Pacific Asia Travel
Association) awarded Dwarika's its first PATA Heritage Award in 1980.
Nepal has
eight World Heritage sites and has won two Heritage Awards. One for
the Medieval City of Bhaktapur and the other for The Dwarika's
Hotel.
