March 10 (27 Chaitra), Kathmandu – CG Hospitality, a subsidiary of the prominent Chaudhary Group, has laid the foundation for the renowned luxury heritage ‘Summit Hotel’ in Gorkha, with the vision to develop the district as an international standard luxury tourist destination.
Inspired by the famous Summit Hotel located in Kathmandu Valley, the company plans to develop this new project into a high-end luxury resort blending modern amenities with Nepalese authenticity.
According to CG Hospitality, the legacy of the historic Summit Hotel established in Lalitpur in 1978 will be revitalized with a fresh identity by integrating both modern conveniences and Nepalese cultural elements in the new Gorkha-based project.
Spanning approximately 30 ropani of land, the project is slated for completion within two years. The hotel will feature 30 luxury rooms with anticipated room rates around 500 US dollars.
The Summit Hotel aims to provide premium services targeting both domestic and international tourists.
The key objective of this project, as stated by CG Hospitality, is to position Gorkha among Nepal’s premier luxury tourist circuit destinations.
Located near the historically and culturally significant Gorkha Palace, the development is expected to promote Nepal’s rich history, authenticity, and culture on an international platform. Gorkha is famously known as the domain from which Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal and founded modern Nepal.
Rahul Chaudhary, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CG Hospitality Global, described the project as a significant step in Chaudhary Group’s ongoing commitment and confidence in Nepal’s tourism sector.
“Gorkha is a vitally important site that holds Nepal’s history. Our endeavor is to showcase Nepal’s history, culture, and authenticity along with the Summit Hotel legacy within Nepal and globally. Chaudhary Group has always supported the government’s goal to strengthen Nepal’s economy through tourism,” he said.
The Summit Hotel project is expected to create employment opportunities, strengthen the local economy, and attract new investments in Gorkha, which will further accelerate regional development through tourism.
Only a few days ago, Chaudhary Group laid the foundation of the prestigious luxury brand ‘The Ritz-Carlton’ hotel in Thamel, a key tourist hub in Kathmandu, in partnership with the world-renowned Marriott International.
CG Hospitality Global is currently expanding its global presence through partnerships with leading international hotel brands. The group operates over 230 hotels and resorts across more than 130 destinations in 12 countries, with a total room capacity of approximately 15,000.
Chaudhary Group is Nepal’s largest business conglomerate, a major taxpayer, and a frontrunner in employment generation. Its revenue contribution amounts to about 2 percent of the government’s annual revenue.
In the fiscal year 2078/79 (2021/22), Chaudhary Group contributed NPR 25.59 billion to the government revenue, and over the past five years, it has contributed a total of NPR 92.26 billion in revenue support.
