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

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 and attraction :
Thamel - Nepal starts from Kathmandu,
Kathmandu starts from Thamel and Thamel starts from Kathmandu
Guest House.
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.
