Book shopping in Kathmandu

  1. A

    New Tibet Book Store

    The best collection of Tibet-related titles but few discounts.

  2. B

    Pilgrims Book House

    A couple of doors north of the Kathmandu Guest House; the best in town and particularly strong on antiquarian travelogues. There are a couple of smaller branches around town.
