Welcome to Kathmnadu Express

KATHMANDU EXPRESS is an online trading company dealing in Himalayan art, antiques and tribal crafts. Our website features an extensive collection of the Himalayan Kingdom´s ethnic, handmade artesania, crafted with the special knowledge that has been passed on from generation to generation, and carefully preserved by a handful of communities.
Our products are still being produced using the same centuries old techniques. All our craftsmen descend from the devoted families that mastered these techniques in the times when the glorious Kathmandu Valley was renowned for its rich craftsmanship. Over the centuries these families have provided the features and masterpieces of hundreds of temples and idols in and around Kathmandu, and have helped to give the Kathmandu Valley its reputation as an open, living museum, and its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Our collection features sacred objects such as Thankas, which are painted, strictly according to Buddhist scriptures, by Tibetan monks as part of their religious practice, and also by masters in Roope Dhyan meditation, who, through psychic viewing, create a unique form of painting.
Our range of religious statues and mythological figurines, represent the ancient Buddhist and Hindu religions and beliefs of the Himalayan Kingdom, and are very typical of the temples and monasteries of Nepal.

We also offer ceremonial items such as the Buddhist singing bowl, used as a guidance tool in meditation, and Hindu worship bells,lingams,rudras, trisholds, etc., which hark from such sacred places as Pashupatinat in Nepal, and Varanasi(Benares) in India.
Also available from Kathmanduexpress.com are a wide range of gems and stones, beautiful tribal and ethnic jewellery, stunning and charming Tibetan furniture, uniquely crafted handmade stone mandalas ,beautifully designed hemp handbags, herbal therapeutic teas and natural incense.
