‘Adventure starts from the Himalaya, the Himalaya starts from Nepal. Nepal starts from Kathmandu, Kathmandu starts from Thamel and Thamel starts from the Kathmandu Guest House.’
Travellers know that the frenetic pace of a crowded city like Kathmandu needs an escape. The Kathmandu Guest House, a converted Rana dynasty mansion with fragrant gardens and airy corridors, has provided the peaceful refuge of choice since 1968.
Since the days of being the first hotel in Thamel, the packed tourist district of Kathmandu, it’s become something of an institution. It’s close to everywhere and its gate is a central meeting point.
As a guidebook put it, ‘Kathmandu Guest House acts as a magnet for mountaineers, pop stars, actors and eccentric characters.’
Whether you’re returning from the mountains or arriving from the airport, come and relax at the KGH Dream Garden restaurant, order a cup of fine Italian coffee or a chilled Beer. Escape for a moment in the historic surroundings of Kathmandu’s most loved guesthouse.
2 OUR STORY VÁJRÁ & MÁNDÁLÁ
The world’s largest bronze Vajra - 7 feet 2 inches
‘Vajra’ in Sanskrit or ‘Dorje’ in Tibetan means both ‘Thunderbolt’ and ‘Diamond’. In the spiritual context the Vajra is used as an important instrument in Buddhist and Hindu rituals.
The tenets of Hinduism and Buddhism are to foster peace and compassion through the embodiment of truth, refracted and reflected through the perfect purity of the diamond. The thunderbolt represents pure awareness and wisdom. This wisdom is a powerful tool that destroys both evil and ignorance.
The Vajra is the crowning symbol of the KGH Group Logo.
Inaugurated by: Reinhold Messner (29 December, 2018)
“An Aerial View of the World”
A typical Mandala is composed of a number of superimposed concentric circles, squares and occasionally triangles. Depicted at the outermost edge is a wheel of flames, representing the basic elements of the world: Earth, Water, Fire and Wind.
Thus, the mandala simultaneously depicts both the universe and the individual and hence serves as a medium for the union of the cosmos and the self.

The life and times of Arniko
Arniko, the Michelangelo of Nepal. It is claimed that no other Indo-Asian has shown such greatness as Arniko, in the fields of architecture, design, sculpturing or art. His works and teachings have spread across all of S.E. Asia. Yet in his country of origin, Nepal, he is virtually unknown.
Born in 1244, by the age of 3 he showed knowledge of architecture, indicating that he was a reincarnation. He quickly advanced to building his own conceived stupas. When the Mongol leader Kublai Khan, in 1260, ordered a golden stupa to consolidate his victory over his brother, he sought a building with a ‘soul’ - as well as one to mark his total sovereignty.
Nepalese architecture and building skills were advanced, and the Khan’s spiritual guru, Phags-Pa, leader of the Sakya sect, sought 100 builders from Nepal. King Jaybhimdev Malla could only send 80, and all of them feared the power of the Khan. So the young Arniko, 17, offered to lead them. They reached Lhasa, building stupas along the way. There he impressed Phags-Pa, who ordained him a monk. He built 9 Buddhist temples, two Confucian shrines plus many stupas. The Khan commissioned him to build the White Dagoba, which took ten years (1279-1288) and incorporated ‘Buddhist architecture with its philosophy and symbolism’ . This resulted in it becoming one of the Khan’s symbols of power and legal authority. Arniko was honored as Duke of Liang, and received Ministerial rank. He renounced the priesthood, married a Nepali, plus took two Mongolian and seven Chinese wives. He died in 1306, at the age of 62.
20 flavors of china - Flavors of China 中国味道
how kathmandu was formed
Manjusri, ‘Gentle Glory’, is the oldest and most significant Bodhisattva in Buddhism - symbolizing ‘transcendent wisdom’.
Manjusri flew across the Himalaya, from his earthly abode in China, the summit of Mount Wutaishan. He reached the Kathmandu Valley, where he found a vast lake with a beautiful giant lotus at its center.
With his flaming sword he cut a deep gorge in the surrounding foothills, allowing the lake waters to flood out. From this single act the valley became a vast fertile plain, soon to be inhabited by both man and animals alike.
Where the lotus settled you may discover the inspiring Swayambhunath Stupa - Monkey Temple.
Beijing: The White Dagoba (stupa) built by Arniko. A landmark today, at the Miao Ying Temple.
Why Arniko and Manjusri in a menu?
Arniko walked across the Himalaya from Nepal and took his knowledge and skills to China, while Manjusri flew to Nepal and gave us the Kathmandu Valley. Culture is a two-way flow, and food is a part of culture.
So too with Flavors of China - a mixture of many ingredients, textures, smells and tastes.
We hope you enjoy our kitchen, and our Menu with a difference.

FLAVORS OF INDIA 印度味道
India’s diverse climate, from deep tropical to alpine, plus religious and social influences, have created a variation of dishes unsurpassed. Vegetarianism was facilitated by Buddhism, plus the availability of fruits, grains and vegetables all year round. Mughal rule introduced rich sauces and kebabs. The Nizams perfected Biryani, which they claim to be the finest of all Indian dishes! Tibetan specialties seeped into the northern hills, while the British invaders introduced the potato and the Portuguese favored sea-dishes...
All this in a country blessed with a rich variety of spices.
We invite you to experience a Taste of India in The Dream Garden.
‘I dive deeply into the mixture of Indian spices. Their subtle flavors, exotic perfume and sensuous taste.’ - Thorstein Nokleby - World Traveler.

KGH HERITAGE WALK 57 KGH GARDEN - 1981 AD KGH Reflections
Like thousands of hippies and pretend hippies I traveled through Europe, Turkey, Iran (before the Shah was deposed), Afghanistan (before the Russians invaded), Pakistan, India and ended up in the fabled city of Kathmandu. The Kathmandu Guest House was, like for so many travelers, my first stop. Here East met West - overlanders, hippies, trekkers, botanists, mountaineers, authors, explorers... - all stayed here.
This old Rana palace had been bought by Siddhi Bahadur Sakya, who turned it into his family home. His sons turned 7 rooms into guest rooms, and tourism came to Kathmandu, led and fed by KGH.
Over 50 years the family have established seven hotels, employing over 650 staff, and serving thousands. Yet the Guest House is more than four walls. It is a symbol of the Nepali people, who after the two devastating earthquakes of 2015 have risen from the ashes. The old palace was badly damaged, and instead of trying to repair it, it was demolished brick by brick, and trees and flowers took its place. Yes, creating The Dream Garden, where you are sitting now.
Central to the garden is the Vajra and Mandala, symbols of both heavenly and earthly power. The Walk of Fame represents 50 years of hospitality, for here you find the names, etched in stone, of visitors who have contributed to the development of Nepal. Be they mountaineers like Reinhold Messner, Doug Scott, Chris Bonington or Yui Chiro Muira (who skied down Everest). George Harrison was one of our earlier guests, inspiring The Beatles Diner. Off great distinction is Nepal’s own Madam Anuradha Koirala, who has saved over 17,000 women from trafficking.
Susan’s Collection is one of Nepal’s most distinguished art galleries housing an innovative collection from Nepal’s master craftsmen. There is an Artist’s Quartier, where you can rest and relax - and where art by some of Nepal’s leading Paubha and Contemporary artists is highlighted. A lendng library, coffee shop, sun-beds, a hairdresser and spa plus a jeweler and gift shop are to be found. Two special points of interest: The Stone Cutter, who can cut designs to your design, and Beni Recycled Handicrafts, where women collect waste materials and produce functional and fashionable products. Recycling at its best! Please see the Dream Garden Map, and explore.
