How To Buy Nepali Books From Australia?

By Riya Pant

In Nepal, we love to read books and support our authors and literary community as much as possible. But, nepali literature and authors still haven’t got the exposure in the international market that they deserve. 

If you live in Australia you are well aware of the tender situation there. Finding Nepali books there is not an easy job. You scour to find an international book shop for a long time, and when you do find one, the books are either translated to English or there are books that you have already probably read. 

All in all, there are not many options for you to browse through and pick as you would have back home in Nepal. 

However, it is not impossible to buy Nepali books while living abroad, as we have your back. You can buy Nepali books from Australia through Books Mandala.

Books Mandala:

We are one of the largest online book stores in Nepal. We operate from Nepal and have two large stores with amazing catalogs in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

We have an ever-growing collection of over 35,000 books to choose from that we add and restock to everyday.

We offer the most popular and sensational books to rare and lesser-known books that you can’t find abroad at the best price.

We operate from Nepal, but it is just as easy to purchase books from abroad. We take and ship orders and accept payments internationally. You can have books you want shipped straight to your doorstep even halfway across the world.
