The best bookshops Nepal

If you're looking for a book about the Himalayas, this is the place to go! Unquestionably the best bookstore in Kathmandu, ravaged by a fire but rebuilt and still as rich as ever with references on Nepal and Tibet. There are also quite a few books on trekking, Buddhism, Hinduism, yoga, Central Asia, local cuisine, or even indigenous flora and fauna. The adjoining café-restaurant is very nice. Some handicrafts are also on sale: postcards, rare books..

A shop as there is a lot in Pokhara, but that is well filled. Here you will find beautiful postcards, maps and geographical maps of Nepal (and even surrounding areas) as well as detailed tourist maps of Pokhara and its region: if you want to take a walk to Sarangkot! Also some second hand books. Note: here you will find stamps to stamp your letters and especially a mailbox (in red, at the entrance).

If the store does not shine by its organization, its shelves offer a more extensive choice of novels than in other bookstores.
