    The place where one gets completely lost in the world of book. One can find book of each genre here, with properly managed room compartment.

    The choice of books here is absolutely astounding! You can find almost all the best sellers and rare gems in their collection. You can be lost in the bookshelves for hours. I absolutely loved roaming around the store. All the books are categorized properly, you can query at the desk too for what you're looking for. Staffs are friendly.

    5 star. When digital e books are ruling the world, places like pilgrims are just rare find or must i say heritage materials. From fiction to non fiction booms this place offers a readers paradise. When ever I m in Nepal, I visit this place and always find few rare books. Also when u look at the prices, its way reasonable than US Nd Europe. The only caution is please do check the quality of the print before buying. U get what u pay for.

    Best book shop of Nepal 🇳🇵 you can find literature of any genre. And best think you can spend the whole day to visit this book shop. Three floored shop has so many corners you can spend hours looking the books.

  • 4/5 Tongxu S. 1 year ago on Google
    Three floors - great variety (reminds me of some of the biggest bookstores in NY and BJ). Helpful staff. The book from the Vintage series though was one of the most blurrily printed books I’ve bought, uncomfortable to read, and even has small random marks that make it look like a photocopy (see pic). Doubted if it was an official edition (but given that it’s unlikely someone would make a fake copy of this unpopular writer…)… Most books were protected with a plastics cover, no sample available, so it was not possible to tell the quality of the pages inside, although I did not ask if I was allowed to open the package.

    Excellent bookstore in the hart of the city. Was looking for a book by Haruki Murakami and the store clerk was able to find it for me. Friendly service and good selection of books in its several floors.

    Extensive selection of books, gifts, maps, arts and crafts supplies, and more. Credit cards accepted. And you're free to browse at your leisure without pushy salespeople hassling you. I ended up doing most of my gift shopping here. Plus they sell postcard stamps!

  • 5/5 Sadichchha P. 4 months ago on Google
    Bookstore that gives more than a bookstore feeling. A wide range of books available. Serene and vintage vibes. Also you'll find a variety of items, souvenirs, handmade stuffs and many more here.

  • 5/5 Suve R. 5 months ago on Google
    What a place! My soul in heaven. I wish I had a more suitcases on the way back home, to buy up everything, what resonates with me🪷 But its not only about buying stuff. Really good vibes here. You can chill and read in a sofa. Must visit in Kathmandu, Thamel🤍

    Therapeutic. I could spend hours here. I love this place.

  • 5/5 DILKENDRA T. 6 months ago on Google
    A vibe. This place is more of a good vibe than a book store. The smell of books, incense, papers, old paintings, imagine being in a film and the place is exactly that. You can find books, truncates, art supplies, board games, vintage perfume bottles, beautiful stones boxes, gift cards, posts, and so so much. Not just just a book store you can even indulge in old paintings decorating their walls, the lovely smell of incense, and just holding some of their perfume boxes. Anyone can spend hours and hours searching and finding stuff, books, and small truncates to admire and still be able to find more and more. From modern art supplies to old historic books, like time just stopped and made its collections here. Not just the place but even the people and staff are so friendly and humble, you can even meet new people from an entirely different part of the world. You don't just find materials but friends too if you search.

    I bought a new book here which was wrapped in a plastic and after some time when I was reading it I found that it has entire 12 pages missing in the middle and pages are repeated. I reported the issue at the store but they were pathetic with their response. At first the clerk in the store said their company rule for report is 21 hours , (seriously ?) and when I explained further the manager appeared and he is more concerned with the issue that the book is not in the store condition and other pathetic excuses (The guy believes people should buy book with a mentality that they should return it to the store). Not a single apology and the accountability. I sensed this store is a SCAM and selling the pirated prints at a original price. They should be ashamed. AVOID THIS PLACE.

    A lovely bookshop in Thamel with a great range of popular titles as well as local fiction. There is also a lovely selection of gifts and stationary on the ground floor.

  • 5/5 Amélie V. 10 months ago on Google
    HUGE choice of books, very cute book store. Both new, reduced price books, gifts, etc. Can spend hours in there getting inspiration & adding titles to booklist. Very nice staff as well.

  • 5/5 Rachana D. 9 months ago on Google
    This is the most beautiful 3 storied book store I have ever been to. You can buy souvenirs, postcards, hand made cards, handicrafts and local Nepali specialities from here. The book collection is huge. You can go on browsing through the beautiful collections. Do visit this bookstore whenever you are in Thamel shopping for your hiking gear.

  • 4/5 Ankit A. 11 months ago on Google
    Though I am not a book lover, it could be a paradise for a book lover. The place looks small from outside, but from the inside this is big and visitors could spend several hours looking for books. The prices of stationeries could be on a higher side.

  • 3/5 Aaron F. 9 months ago on Google
    Good selection of books but lots of room for improvement. There were several guys working upstairs in the fiction section and they all seemed annoyed that customers were in there looking for books. Things also are out of order, authors jump from T to L making it difficult to find something. Really need to work on the customer service and actually try to help customers.

  • 5/5 Jannes M. 1 year ago on Google
    Magnificent place in KTM, excellent choice of philosophical, classic and contemporary fiction, Nepalese and India writings, plus tons of self help/awareness&healing etc. on three floors like B&N in NYC.

  • 5/5 Madan Gopal M. 1 year ago on Google
    Iconic bookstore in Kathmandu, Nepal known for authentic heritage and travel literature, variety of products is amazing, the bookstore is also there at Varanasi India

  • 5/5 Sasha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Bought some books and also other stuff. A little piece of heaven for everyone wanting to explore various genre of books. I bought 2 romance novels. Also bought some items like stickers, purses and so on which was pretty cool. Will visit again!

  • 5/5 Ujjwal S. 1 year ago on Google
    A best book shop I have ever found till date. The whole house is full of books. There are different sections and floor according to nature/ types of book. Such as Astrology, Science and technology, romantic, literature and so on. Their staff will help you find the book from the piles of books and alao suggest you novels if you are really fond of it. I definitely suggest anyone to visit here

  • 5/5 S S. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily my favourite bookstore in Kathmandu. Never been to the of store that got razed by a fire but its rebirth continues to hold many wonders. A local tip is to skip the first floor and head further upstairs where all the good books are located. The bookstore also has on display its own collection of Rana era hand tinted photographic portraits and bazaar devotional pictures.

  • 3/5 Patrick 2 years ago on Google
    Use to be a great book store many years ago but became to commercialized unfortunately. I loved going here to find new books when I visited Nepal but it has to many gifts, products and other merchandise that is not really relevant in my opinion. Still a nice place to explore and buy a variety of merchandise.
