About Us

Since 1991, Books Mandala has existed as a tiny island of peace in a fast-moving world by fostering a culture of reading and connecting people with the books they'll love, in Nepal and beyond.

The Beginning of Our Journey

In 1991, a young couple, with the help of their closest friends, started a small business selling postcards to tourists in Lakeside, Pokhara, Nepal.
Their hard work and passion quickly turned this humble venture into one of Pokhara's hidden gems, featuring floor-to-ceiling stacks of books and souvenirs. Nepal Mandala Book Shop slowly became a beloved neighborhood spot and one of the largest bookstores in Gandaki Province, with thousands of titles in stock. Expanding their reach, they began trading books across Nepal as both wholesalers and retailers, cementing their place in the Nepali literary community.

Digital Transformation

As the world advanced with technology, the younger generation, fueled by their love of reading, joined the business and took it online.
With a team of equally passionate individuals, we launched BooksMandala.com , transforming our business into an e-commerce platform. In the process, we built a diverse community of book lovers of all ages, genders, sexualities, and ethnicities. This community engaged digitally from all over Nepal and beyond, finding, discovering, and purchasing books. This shift breathed new life into the business, allowing us to transcend geographical boundaries.

Broadening Our Horizons

booksmandala.com , Nepal's first e-commerce website dedicated to books, launched at a time when e-commerce was just beginning to take off in Nepal.
Our online platform was warmly received by readers, leading us to reach another milestone by expanding our physical operations to Kathmandu. We first established our presence in Gairidhara, followed by a relocation to Baluwatar. Our physical store in Baluwatar is spacious and welcoming, featuring a cozy café for our book enthusiasts. We invested not just in size but in soul, ensuring our bookstore mirrored the warmth and charm of our online presence.

At present, we stand as Nepal's first
and largest online bookstore.

We strive to perfect your modern life by expanding our digital features, reaching new corners of Nepal, and extending our presence internationally.

Looking ahead, we aim to bring the essence of BooksMandala.com to every home and smartphone in Nepal and beyond. No longer confined by geographical boundaries, we embrace a world that belongs to everyone. Our goal is to provide better recommendations tailored to your interests, ensuring that you always find books you'll love. We also plan to expand our offerings to include not just physical books, but also digital books, making it convenient for you to access your favorite titles anytime, anywhere.

In the physical realm, we plan to enhance our physical presence as well, complete with cozy coffee shops. We strive to create warm, comfortable, and spacious environments where readers can lose themselves in literature. With an extensive collection of books, unique gifts, and a passionate team that loves what they do, we are dedicated to crafting an inviting haven for book lovers everywhere.
