Our Story

Dotel Dairy stands as a symbol of perseverance, vision, and community empowerment. Its roots trace back to 1987, when the late Yadu Krishna Dotel—hailing from the quaint village of Deupur in Kavre district—embarked on a humble journey with just a single cow and the unwavering support of his wife, Sharada Dotel. With a keen entrepreneurial spirit and relentless hard work, the Dotel family turned a modest dairy operation into one of the most trusted milk producers in the Kathmandu Valley. Within just three years, their herd had grown to 20 cows, a testament to their dedication and growing reputation. By the mid-1990s, Dotel Dairy had entered its prime. Its fresh and high-quality dairy products became a household favorite among Kathmandu residents. Anticipating rising demand, Yadu Krishna took a pioneering step: he began providing seed funding to local farmers, enabling them to raise cows and contribute to the dairy’s supply chain. This innovative approach not only ensured a steady flow of milk but also uplifted the economic status of countless farming families in the region. Today, spanning two generations and over 38 years of commitment, Dotel Dairy continues to uphold its founding values—quality, trust, and community. The legacy of Yadu Krishna Dotel lives on through every drop of milk and every life empowered.
