Gurugram (India), August 2022: One Rep Global, a leading representation company for luxury and ultra-luxury hotels, organized a familiarization tour for Indian travel agent partners to Nepal’s two most stunning hospitality destinations - Dwarika’s Hotel Kathmandu and Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel. The four nights tour was recently organized, in August 2022, in association with Kathmandu Travels.

Destination Nepal offers an appealing amalgamation of culture, nature, and wellness. The FAM tour itinerary, thoughtfully curated with enriching local experiences and explorations across the Kathmandu Valley, left the tour group of 11 luxury travel partners from Delhi mesmerized.

Dwarika’s Hotel Kathmandu and Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel played the perfect host offering an opulent backdrop to the exciting familiarization visit. Showcasing two distinct realms of magnificent Nepali hospitality, both properties displayed high standards of graciousness and guest service elevated by the tastefully crafted hotel interiors and ambience.

Rene Vijay Shrestha Einhaus, Executive Director, Dwarika's Group of Hotels and Resorts said, ‘We were extremely excited to welcome our first trade FAM group of luxury travel agents from India. This is the first of the many familiarization trips planned for the near future, with our partner One Rep Global. We were pleased to showcase the unique experiences that Dwarika’s Group of Hotels & Resorts had to offer, and to also position Nepal as a good option for a luxury holiday. We are upbeat about the India market and see a huge potential in the luxury travel segment from the country.’

Hemant Mediratta, Founder – One Rep Global echoed similar sentiments and said, ‘It was such a pleasant revelation for the FAM attendees to discover and experience this hidden jewel in Nepal. Comments on the exemplary service and level of detailing at the hotel were heart-warming. Post the FAM trip, there are already multiple small group and FIT queries which exhibit the attractiveness of Dwarika’s Kathmandu and Dhulikhel.’

Established in 1972, the Dwarika’s Hotel Kathmandu has become synonymous to a ‘living museum’ as it continues to preserve, restore and revive Nepal’s historic, cultural and architectural heritage. Started as the founder, Mr. Dwarika Das Shrestha’s quest to rescue intricately carved wooden masterpieces that were being used as firewood, the hotel has evolved to become one of the biggest sanctuaries for original carved woodworks.

On the other hand, tucked away amid 25-acres of preserved jungle on the beautiful hills of Dhulikhel, the all-suite Dwarika’s Resort offers pure escapism with a touch of spiritual charm. The 40-suite luxury resort represents unpretentious luxury, exuding the ambience of an opulent residential compound. The resort draws its inspiration from the Himalayan holistic lifestyle which believes in the need to maintain harmony between the body, mind, spirit and Earth for a peaceful life.

Rahul and his team travelled across the globe to study and understand the process of growing, harvesting and processing cacao. He understood how nuanced the process is and how important high-quality cacao is for making the best quality chocolates. His research and experimentation with desserts and chocolates is what intrigued him to launch The Blue Gourmet. They now have a dedicated farm in Kerala that produces cacao just for The Blue Gourmet and allows them to make their own couverture chocolates.

Mumbai welcomes The Ghost Chef, a new cloud kitchen featuring Namak & Alas | August 2022

Mumbai welcomes The Ghost Chef, a new cloud kitchen featuring Namak & Alas | August 2022


Mumbai, August 2022:Most of us have had days where we can’t see ourselves stepping out for a meal, or step into the kitchen and fix something to eat. On days where cooking seems like a chore and you need a day off, let Mumbai’s newest cloud kitchen - The Ghost Chef take centre stage. Delivering all across Mumbai, this new entity aims to customise customers’ needs and offer a restaurant-style experience in the comfort of their homes.


Born from the concept that the soul of a Chef has taken the reins and can be felt in delicious plates of food, The Ghost Chef is founded by Chef Akhil Multani and  runs two brands under its name - ‘Namak’ and ‘Alas’, both meaning salt in Hindi and Greek, respectively. 


‘Namak’ or salt is one of the most basic, yet crucial ingredients of any dish across the world. Through Namak, Ghost Chef takes the customer on a gastronomic journey of North Indian and Mughlai cuisines, while also venturing into niche ones such as  Andhra, Parsi, Maharashtrian, Rajasthani, amongst others. The menu caters to comfort foods that satisfy both, the palette and soul. Customers can enjoy an extensive selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Kebabs which feature Chef’s specials such as Chatpate Tandoori Aloo; Thetcha Broccoli; Chicken Burra Tangdi and Chicken Reshmi Tikka. The Mains showcase a wide variety of Indian flavours in dishes such as Ghee Roast Paneer, a Manglorean special which also comes in a non-veg version with Prawns. Customers will also find comforting dishes such as Kalimirch Paneer, black peppercorn marinated cottage cheese paired with a rich cashew cream gravy; Laal Maas, a fiery Marwari fall-of-the-bone lamb, slow-cooked in a spicy red chili & onion gravy; and Savji Mutton, Vidarbha style stone flower masala roasted, boneless lamb, slow-cooked overnight. To accompany these, customers can choose from a selection of Indian Breads, Sides and Rice preparations such as Chef’s special Namak Special Dal Khichdi; Paneer Makhanwala Biryani; Butter Chicken Biryani; and Chicken and Mutton Yakhni Pulao.


For those looking for something beyond Indian cuisine, ‘Alas’ is a great choice. Alas, which is the translation of salt in Greek, boasts of a very traditional Lebanese and Greek menu with influences of Turkey. Perfect for parties or for those who love their pita and dips, the menu has a wide range of Mezze options such as a variety of Labneh including Spicy Labneh, Garlic Labneh, Avocado Labneh and Labneh Za’atar. A Mediterranean menu is incomplete without hummus, and Alas has a selection to choose from. In addition to the traditional version, one will also find Spicy Moroccan Hummus, spicy Moroccan chilli scented spicy hummus; Green Pea & Truffle Hummus, truffle scented roasted green peas churned with tahini cream; and Avocado Hummus, fresh avocado and chickpeas blended with garlic and tahini, and topped with roasted seeds and smoked paprika. Orektíká or warm appetisers include Falafel; Chevre and Almond stuffed Falafel; Adana Kebab, chicken mince kebab, flavoured with sumac, fresh herbs and red chilli flakes, and served with a coriander pesto labneh; Harissa Chicken Kebab, Moroccan chilli paste marinated chicken cubes, cooked over a spit roast and grilled, and served with cream cheese and honey; and Kebab Istanbul, Turkish spiced lamb mince kebabs, basted with white butter & served with mint labneh. The menu also features a selection of Manakeesh (flatbreads), Ilektrikó Díktyo (mains), and Shawarmas, that will delight one’s palette.


All the food at The Ghost Chef is cooked fresh and does not use any ready-made or pre-prepared products. For those looking for party catering, The Ghost Chef has a format that allows customers to order components separately, and assemble the dish at home by following simple, easy-to-follow video instructions. The kitchen has carefully selected talented Chefs who use the finest ingredients and follow quality hygiene practices keeping the customer’s comfort at the forefront at all times. 


In the coming months, Chef Akhil will also be adding two kitchens to the portfolio. Yan, set for launch in September 2022, which will serve Asian cuisine, followed by Ilsali in October, which will cater to Italian food lovers. Both brand names are also translations of salt from their native languages.

Guests can place their orders for Namak or Alas via Thrive and Swiggy.

Executive Director, ITC

Nakul Anand, Executive Director, ITC Ltd said, “The addition of ITC Narmada to our luxury hotel portfolio further strengthens our presence in Western India. Ahmedabad is rich in culture and traditions in a unique way – it has celebrated the culture of the intellect through the centuries, where literature, poetry, painting, sculpture, theatre, cinema, science, have not only blossomed, but are inherent to the ethos of Gujarat. In keeping with ITC Hotels’ philosophy of Responsible Luxury and creating indigenous experiences, ITC Narmada is rooted to the ethos of the land and pays a tribute to these finest experiences that while being indigenous to the State are celebrated globally.”

The ITC promise of luxury hospitality comes with responsibility towards the environment and its resources, through its commitment to sustainability. ITC Narmada registered with USGBC for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum certification. Right from developing the site to construction and operationalising, sustainability has been at the heart of design at ITC Narmada with enhanced focus on energy efficiency, water efficiency, sustainable site development, use of sustainable materials and indoor environment quality. A series of sustainability initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, recycling water, using construction materials with high recycling content and deploying energy efficient systems for air conditioning, refrigeration and water pumping among other key functions, have been actively taken up as a sustainable practice at ITC Narmada, while offering unmatched luxury hospitality to its patrons.

In line with ITC Hotels philosophy of staying rooted to the soil of the land, ITC Narmada creates a brand folklore – where various art works and artistic affiliation will spotlight the cultural panorama of Ahmedabad. ITC Narmada draws its architectural inspiration from the heritage icons of Gujarat. The façade elements are inspired by the classical Gujarat Toran of the Sun Temple at Modhera and the unique step wells that were once integral to the region. The central atrium lobby and its majestic water wall is a tribute to lifeline river Sabarmati. The building façade carries elements of local craft including an interpretation of the famous “Tree of Life” at the Sidi Syed Mosque in Ahmedabad. The super imposing step wells architecture to latticework and mirrors, silks, brocades, world famous cotton weaves and teakwood of Narmada’s basins will be the hallmark of ITC Narmada’s artistic elevation.
