A hotel is a deep ingrained memory - an
experience to reminisce, an escapade to
cherish, a secret to smile over. A
certain hotel somewhere has always
served the purpose of catering pleasant
memories. You recall, you talk, you
laugh, you cry, you ponder - you face a
whole range of emotions over that
"particular incident" in that
"particular hotel." Your memory is all
the more enriched when something happens
in a special hotel. In Kathmandu Guest
House you can be assured that your
memory is not a haze but a highlight
that will sparkle throughout your life.
Kathmandu Guest House was a Rana mansion
converted into a hotel by Karna Sakya in
1967. Starting with just 13 rooms, it
has been slowly nurtured into a
sprawling 121-room hotel with more than
the required amenities. Today it is
reputed to be an internationally
acknowledged "best budget hotel". It is
the first hotel established in Thamel,
which is Kathmandu’s most popular
tourist destination with the highest
concentration of tourism-based service
outlets in Asia.
KGH has an impressive record of guest
lists including famous climbers,
writers, researchers and numerous world
celebrities from the Beatles to Ricky
Martin and Oscar winning actor Jeremy
Irons. Many books, articles and reports
have been written in the famous garden
of KGH.
Location &

Nepal starts from Kathmandu, Kathmandu

Thamel is the heart and soul of the city
centre, a collection of narrow streets
bursting with hotels, shops, restaurants
and trekking agencies. There are no
tourist sites in Thamel, apart from the
district itself, which is one entire
site, and worth exploring for a day to
witness the sounds and smells that make
up downtown Kathmandu.
