Owner of Dhakal Retreat Centre, Upendra Dhakal lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife and two children. The ranch is a reflection of his journey, his values, and his belief that hard work, vision, and a passion for bringing people together can create something truly extraordinary.
Mr. Upendra Dhakal came to the United States in 2008 at the age of 17 as an student, leaving behind his home, family, and the familiar streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. With little more than ambition and determination, he stepped into a new country full of opportunity, and challenges. Every long workday, every obstacle, and every setback became a lesson, each one laying a brick toward a bigger dream.
During his entrepreneurial journey, shortly after the birth of his daughter, Upendra began sketching ideas for a retreat. Not in offices or design studios, but on plain paper at coffee shops, in quiet corners where his imagination could flow freely. Those early sketches were simple, yet they captured a bold vision: a sanctuary where people could escape the pressures of everyday life, reconnect with loved ones, and celebrate life’s milestones in a space that was both luxurious and welcoming.
Over the years, Upendra’s vision grew alongside his own journey. Every success, every setback, and every lesson added another brick to the foundation of his dream. Through it all, his wife and two children have been the heart of his journey; the inspiration behind every late night, every sacrifice, and every step forward. Family, community, and shared experiences became the pillars of his vision.
Today, that vision has become Dhakal Retreat Center, a 15-acre sanctuary just 60 miles from Dallas, Texas. Open skies, serene ponds, private trails, and thoughtfully designed spaces welcome weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and special celebrations. Every corner reflects years of careful planning, perseverance, and attention to detail; from sketches on coffee-stained paper to the luxury retreat it is today.
For Upendra, Dhakal Retreat Centre is more than a private estate or a business; it is a community space. His vision is to create a place where people can gather, celebrate, and connect. Here, every event is a chance to build memories, share laughter, and experience the beauty of nature in comfort and style.
