Nitasha Jamwal, Managing Director of Nirmaya, said,
“Our vision for Dharamshala was to create a retreat that brings a spectrum of guests from across India, while we offer them refined hospitality in the lap of the Himalayas. Partnering with Sterling is a natural choice — their deep understanding of India’s leisure segment, regional presence, and ability to blend local character with national scale make them an ideal collaborator.
