Shopping in Bodhnath (Boudha)

  1. Authentic Himalayan Textiles

    Authentic Himalayan Textiles 'From exile to textiles' could be the slogan in this stylish showroom, which specialises in antique striped Tibetan aprons, known as pangden, that have been collected from across the Himalaya (each region has its own characteristic design). Older pieces are used to create stylish patchwork wall hangings, cushion covers and bags, and any spare threads are rewoven into carpets.

    Even the carpet dust is reused in paper production! Products aren't cheap but you can be sure that only traditional vegetable dyes have been used.
