| Kathmandu Guest House |
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. |
