During the anniversary event, Chairman Chintamani Nyaupane and CEO Krishna Nyaupane reaffirmed the group’s “Vision 2030,” which aims to expand the portfolio to 58 outlets both domestically and internationally.
Nationwide Presence and Employment
Siddhartha Hospitality is one of the largest private-sector employers in Nepal’s tourism industry, providing direct livelihoods to over 2,500 individuals. The group operates under a tiered branding strategy to cater to various traveler segments:
Siddhartha Vilasa (5-Star): Premium luxury properties like the flagship in Bhairahawa and the recently launched Siddharthaa Wildlife Retreat in Meghauli, Chitwan.
Siddhartha Vaibhav (4-Star): Mid-to-high market hotels located in major hubs like Nepalgunj, Kathmandu (Boudha), and Surkhet.
Siddhartha Batika (3-Star): Standard accommodations in towns like Mahendranagar, Tanahu, and Nuwakot.
Lifestyle Units: Including Siddhartha Cottages, S-Cafes (found in hospitals like TUTH), and the upcoming “S Hotel” brand.
Education and Skill Development
The group has integrated a unique “Work while you Learn” model to address the labor shortage in the hospitality sector. Through the Siddhartha Institute of Hospitality, the group partners with academic institutions like Lumbini University and Shubhashree College of Management.
The Padhdai-Kamdaai program allows Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) students to gain hands-on training across Siddhartha’s properties while completing their degrees. This creates a direct pipeline of skilled professionals ready for the global market.
CSR: The ‘Sakar’ Initiative
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is central to the group’s 28-year commitment. Under the Sakar program, the anniversary was marked by simultaneous social activities at every branch:

Public Safety: The group recently funded and handed over a Police Beat to the District Police Office in Dhangadhi to enhance local security.

Siddhartha Trading Concern: Manages the procurement and supply chain for the hospitality units.
Siddhartha Biotica: An agriculture firm promoting organic products from the Karnali region, integrating “farm-to-table” practices in their resorts.
Sarv Technologies: Handles the IT infrastructure, digital marketing, and property management systems for the group.
Conclusion
The Siddhartha Hospitality 28 Years Commitment reflects a journey from a small-town eatery to a national powerhouse. By blending luxury tourism with grass-roots social initiatives and educational partnerships, the group has set a benchmark for “Truly Nepali Hospitality.” As they move toward their Vision 2030 goal of international expansion into India and beyond, their focus remains on maintaining local community roots.
