Nepal’s Village Highland Resort Nominated for Prestigious South Asian Travel Awards 2026
The Village Highland Resort, a premier hospitality destination situated in the scenic landscape of Ranikot, has officially been nominated for the prestigious South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2026. This recognition marks a significant milestone for the property, which spans the border of Suryabinayak-8 in Bhaktapur and Panauti Municipality-1 in Kavre.
Since its inception, the resort has garnered widespread acclaim for its commitment to state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional, customer-friendly service. The SATA, an esteemed international awards program established in 2016, annually honors excellence in the tourism and hospitality sectors across South Asia, including Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.
According to the organizers, the selection process for the winning resorts and hotels is heavily influenced by the firsthand experiences and ratings provided by service recipients. Winners are chosen based on the quality of guest satisfaction, operational standards, and overall service excellence.
Ramsundar Bake, the operator of the Village Highland Resort, expressed his gratitude for the nomination, noting that it reflects the collective effort of his team and the growing potential of regional tourism. “Being nominated for such a prestigious award is a matter of pride not only for our resort but for the entire Nepali tourism industry,” Bake stated.
The Village Highland Resort has become a favored destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Nestled in the Ranikot area, it offers guests panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and the majestic Langtang mountain range. Beyond its modern, comfortable accommodations and diverse culinary offerings—which feature both international and local cuisines—the resort serves as an ideal base for outdoor activities. Visitors can engage in hiking, nature walks, and bird watching, or explore nearby cultural landmarks, including the historic Ranikot Fort and various sacred religious sites.
The resort has officially announced its candidacy via social media platforms, inviting supporters and well-wishers to participate in the online voting process. As the facility prepares for the evaluation phase, the nomination serves as a testament to its rising profile within the competitive South Asian hospitality market.
