The best fashion and gift stores Bodnath

The elaborate facade, lined with green plants, makes you want to enter this pretty café. You can stop in for a cup of tea or an organic coffee from a local farm. A small shop selling woven cotton products and local crafts offers great gift ideas. We love the brightness of the place with bay windows, the Zen atmosphere and the delicious 100% vegetarian food, including light and tasty vegan cakes. The omnipresent plants on the shelves and throughout the space, combined with the wooden furniture, offer a soothing space.

Just opposite the stupa, in the Paradise Café building, take the stairs, climb one floor and you will come across a 100% local clothing shop: Drichu. Founded by Pema, this Nepalese brand produces clothes and accessories (dresses, scarves, jackets, bags ...) made with hand looms and sewn on old traditional sewing machines from fabrics woven in Nepal, linen, yak wool ... The designer has many ambitions for her brand but with a highly artisanal approach.
