About Us
Nepal's Premier Bookstore Since 1984
Connecting readers with knowledge and culture through the power of books.
Our Story
Pilgrims Book House was founded in 1984in Thamel, Kathmandu — the cultural heart of Nepal. What began as a small specialist shop has grown into one of South Asia's most respected bookstores.
We specialise in Himalayan history, Buddhism, Hinduism, travel, art, language, and regional literature. Our shelves carry titles you won't easily find anywhere else — rare, out-of-print, and locally published works that tell the story of Nepal and the wider Himalayan world.
Today we operate from Thamel and Jhamsikhel, along with this online platform, bringing Nepal's literary heritage to readers everywhere.
