| Summit Hotel |
| The Summit is a very special Nepali
style hotel with western comfort. It was founded
some 25 years ago by a group of Dutchmen who had -
and still have - a great affinity for the country,
its mountains, people, history and culture. Terraces
set in spacious flower gardens give views north
across the Kathmandu valley to the Shivapuri
ridgeline and the snow clad Himalayan range beyond.
Open balconies with local hand made tile floors and
carved wooden pillars connect to the rooms. A wide
range of accommodation is offered from the self
contained apartments in Summit Tower to the air
conditioned Himalaya View Wing Rooms, the original
Garden Wing Rooms, to the good value budget
accommodation available in Holland House. The Summit
Hotel, placed equidistant between the great Durbar
Squares of Kathmandu and Lalitpur, is the ideal
place for those spending time in and around the
Kathmandu valley. the best woodwork and handicraft
shops are located near this hotel. |
