Lemon Tree Hotels Enters Bandipur with a New Hospitality Offering

Located amid the culturally rich and scenically dramatic Tanahun District of Nepal, Bandipur is set to welcome a new hospitality landmark with the signing of Lemon Tree Hotel, Bandipur. The partnership between Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd. and the new property marks another milestone in the brand’s international growth journey and strengthens its presence in Nepal’s evolving travel market.

The announcement, made on 15 December 2025, has drawn attention from both industry stakeholders and travellers, highlighting Lemon Tree Hotels’ continued focus on expanding into culturally significant and experience-driven destinations.

Strengthening Presence in Nepal’s Growing Travel Market

The signing underscores Lemon Tree Hotels’ intent to blend spirited hospitality with Nepal’s rising appeal as a destination for leisure, heritage and cultural exploration. While the company’s shares closed marginally lower on the day of the announcement reflecting routine market movement the strategic significance of the expansion remains clear.

Bandipur’s growing popularity among domestic and international travellers makes it a natural fit for Lemon Tree’s approach to offering reliable comfort in destinations that celebrate local character.

Strategic Expansion Beyond India’s Borders

The Bandipur signing forms part of Lemon Tree Hotels’ deliberate international expansion strategy, which has seen the brand steadily widen its footprint beyond India. Alongside its extensive presence in India’s business and leisure hubs, Lemon Tree Hotels has established itself in select global markets including Nepal, Bhutan and the UAE, each chosen for their distinctive cultural and experiential value.

In Nepal, the brand’s journey began with Lemon Tree Premier, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, and expanded to Tigerland Safari – A Lemon Tree Resort, Chitwan, positioning the company across both urban-centric and nature-led travel experiences.

A Vision Aligned with Evolving Guest Preferences

Through official communications, Lemon Tree Hotels has indicated that the Bandipur project aligns closely with its vision of creating meaningful and memorable travel experiences. The focus is on destinations that offer authenticity while ensuring comfort, catering to travellers increasingly seeking deeper connections with place and culture.

Bandipur, known for its preserved heritage and tranquil environment, reflects this balance of experiential travel and thoughtful hospitality.

A Hotel Designed for Immersive Exploration

Set against a backdrop of cobblestone streets and traditional Newari architecture, Lemon Tree Hotel, Bandipur is envisioned as more than just a place to stay. Positioned at an altitude of approximately 1,030 metres, the property promises sweeping views of the Marsyangdi Valley and the Himalayan ranges.

Designed as a base for exploration, the hotel aims to offer guests panoramic landscapes alongside immersive cultural experiences, making it an ideal retreat for travellers seeking scenic beauty without compromising on local authenticity.

A New Chapter for Lemon Tree Hotels in Nepal

With the signing of Lemon Tree Hotel, Bandipur, the brand continues to reinforce its commitment to thoughtful expansion in destinations that resonate with modern travellers. As Nepal’s tourism landscape evolves, Lemon Tree Hotels’ growing portfolio positions it to play a meaningful role in shaping comfortable, culturally rooted hospitality experiences across the region.
