Why Books Mandala?

As a young reader falling in love with books, I often visited Books Mandala in Lakeside, Pokhara, seeking intellectual nourishment. It was there that I first encountered Catch-22, The Catcher in the Rye, Midnight’s Children, Ulysses, Cogito, Ergo Sum, and a score of other books that now line the shelves of my library. These books were, I believe, instrumental in igniting my passion for the written word, eventually leading me into the world of publishing. My relationship with Books Mandala, which began in the late '90s, has endured over the years, albeit in a different form. From being a buyer of books, I’ve now become a provider of books. And this relationship has been nothing short of blissful! From the vantage point of this relationship, I can vouch for their ethical business practices and their unwavering commitment to selling original books, even in the face of the growing threat of piracy. We should all support and patronize bookstores like Books Mandala to keep the literary ecosystem vibrant and robust.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Books Mandala on behalf of Penguin Random House for several years. During this time, I’ve witnessed their remarkable growth and dedication to promoting literature in Nepal. They carry a wide selection of our titles and have established themselves as a reliable distributor in both wholesale and retail. For anyone looking to source books from Penguin Random House in Nepal, I highly recommend Books Mandala as one of our trusted and dependable partners.
