Shambaling Boutique Hotel

Tucked into Kathmandu’s Boudhanath Tibetan quarter, this boutique spa hotel sits down narrow brick lanes — about a 10‑minute walk to the Boudhanath Stupa and a short drive to Pashupatinath Temple and Durbar Marg. It’s roughly 20 minutes from Tribhuvan International Airport, perfect for short stays near the city’s Buddhist heritage sites.

About 28–30 individually decorated rooms and suites follow a Kalachakra theme across floors named for Earth, Fire, Water and Sky. Expect Tibetan-inspired décor mixed with modern comforts: Select Comfort beds with Egyptian cotton, minibars and refrigerators, 42‑inch TVs, private bathrooms with rainfall showers and complimentary toiletries. The property opens onto a lush garden and Peepal tree, and has a meditation room for quiet moments.

Pamper with on‑site spa massages and sauna, stretch in the yoga area, or relax in the garden beneath fluttering prayer flags. There’s a playroom for kids, a library, tour desk and concierge to book local excursions, plus valet parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge). Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property.

A conference/banquet hall and computer station make meetings easy, with express check‑in and a 24‑hour front desk to keep things running smoothly. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and on‑site concierge services support business travelers.

Lungta Restaurant serves multi‑cuisine dishes blending eastern and western flavors, while the outdoor Lingka garden restaurant lets you dine beneath prayer flags. A coffee shop serves Illy coffee, the Cave Bar stocks wines and single malts, and continental breakfast is available daily (room service offered during limited hours).
