People came from all over the country to see the resort, which has a geographical structure and structure that looks like a foreign country. Among the guests who came here, there was a significant number of foreigners along with natives. The Silver Heritage Group, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, invested more than 5 billion rupees and brought the resort into operation. With the commercial success, the investor Silver Heritage Group prepared to operate a new resort in Jhapa in the east and in the Far West.

Corona epidemic started in the country when internal differences were increasing. It had an effect. As disputes between investors escalated, hotels and casinos were closed. The investor company started trying to sell the resort after being unable to cope with the problem. Although many people and companies tried for a year, the purchase and sale agreement was not completed due to the resort's land dispute and labor problems.

Himalayan Tiger Investments Inc., registered in Delaware, USA, decided to buy Silver Heritage Company. With the purchase and sale agreement, Tiger Palace Resort and Casino in Rupandehi in the name of Silver Heritage, 12 bigha land in Jhapa, Millennium Club Casino operating in Shangrila Hotel in Kathmandu came under the ownership of Himalaya Tiger Investment Inc.

If not rescued immediately, the property was in a state of waste.' He said that 90 percent of the resort's problems have been solved after his company bought it.
