  4. Pilgrims Book House

    The best bookshop in town and particularly strong on antiquarian travelogues, though it's pricier than the competition. There are a couple of smaller branches around town. Most bookshops in Thamel, including Pilgrims Book House sell stamps and deliver postcards to the post office, which is much easier than making a special trip to the post office yourself. Pilgrims charges a 10% commission for this service. They also have a fine collection of kids' books, including colouring books.
