What travelers are saying
- CKFCT2,111 contributionsIf you are new to large Asian and middle eastern markets, hang onto your hat (and your belongings)! This bazaar is a wild experience, even for the well-heeled global traveler. You will be packed shoulder to shoulder with bikes, cars, fruit carts, and other people--to name a few things! But the noise, sights, and stalls will be something to remember. Sensory overload for sure! What can't you find at this bazaar?
Recommend keeping your money close and do not bother with a large camera/any camera.
Be brave and give it a try! It is sure to result in a story.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - santosh k2 contributionsRequest to you all do visit at boudha farmars market at boudha .you van feel well manage and good there keep it up utpalaWritten March 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Fiddle-galSeattle, WA7 contributionsThey provided a history of this type of artwork. Pointed out how each piece of art is created: from canvas prep to the final signature. It’s more than just art.Written January 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- hilde201Tilburg, The Netherlands6 contributionsBy accident I heard about the woodcraft workshop on Saturday mornings. The really nice brothers welcome you an give you the possibility to choose your own form to work on. After that they help you by making it the way they do it in Nepal. In the meanwhile they can tell you whatever you want to know about Nepal and their culture. They're also really interested in your culture. After the workshop, that ends when you are ready, they ask you for tips because they want to learn teaching. So I would recommend everybody to go to the Gallery on Saturday at 12 o'clock, it's all for free!Written August 15, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Jørn SCopenhagen102 contributionsI visited the Art Council today to see some contemporary Nepalese art.
I loved the exhibition that has some very fine examples of contemporary Nepalese art. See below.
The director took time out to show me around and explain some of the paintings.
It was a great experience. If you want to see Nepal through the eyes of contemporary Nepalese go there.Written October 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - hazzamarri2442Sydney, Australia265 contributionsWe bought 2 paintings from here today for 3 specific reasons.
1: the art is beautiful.
2: we were able to browse without being constantly pestered by someone trying to make a sale.
3: The seller did not try to rip us off, he gave us a reasonable price from the get go unlike other galleries we went to.
10/10 would recommend this art gallery!Written September 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Anton_HoffenefferZurich, Switzerland1 contributionI visit KTM frequently and this place is unique. The shirts are high quality and sold at reasonable no-haggle prices. Designs and production are local. The designs are thoughtful and cool looking.
I bought one shirt last visit and am back for more. The owners are super nice and have a higher-consciousness about why they're running a shop. Definitely stop in.Written October 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - njrd2016Ridgewood, NJ10 contributionsIf you are looking for AUTHENTIC Antiques which are from Nepal, this is the store for you.

Best store ever for antiques.

5 stars rating for this shop .Written December 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Juan M8 contributionsExcelent photographies of Nepal, particularly of Boudhanath stupa dating 1905, probably the oldest record of this marvellous stupa. Met with director Swaraj Man Chitrakar who kindly showed us archive photos and old glass plate negatives. A gallery worth visiting by any enthusiast in photograpgy. A great cultural legacy for all. (PD: a bit difficult to find, ask at ticket booth of Durbar Sq., ladies there new exactly how to get there)Written September 11, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Susan FWinchester59 contributionsDesigned in Kashmir and made in Nepal - beautiful ornate jewelry boxes, animals, decorations etc. I made three trips to this shop to buy presents for me and others!Written November 26, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sapta Raj B14 contributionsGood place to sculptures and photography and paintings exhibition events. Also best place to practice on wood since they teach you wood carving for free on every Saturday 12pm to 3pm. One could make gift for oneself in that hour. You must enroll first and for that have to talk to the Gallery people and then go to training for free on Saturdays. And also share your wood working experience from your professional wood carving work.Written July 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
