Shona's Alpine

Best place in Kathmandu to buy good gear for the mountains. The sleeping bags and jackets and related gear are so well made, the zips are strong and I've had their gear for years and still going strong. And they're really good value!

Best place to buy gears and equipment for your trekking. 100% genuine and prices are fixed. He will never try to cheat you. I recommend it. He will also guide you to buy stuffs. They also have jacket and sleeping bag rentals.

I first visited Shona’s over 10 years ago, and it's still as reliable as ever. The owner is honest and won’t push unnecessary items, giving you genuine advice. Prices are fixed, so no need to haggle, which makes for a stress-free experience. The store is well-stocked with quality trekking gear, though you’ll need to go elsewhere for trekking shoes. If you're prepping for a trek, I highly recommend Shona’s for trustworthy service and solid gear!

Bought some stuff here, high appreciation for the advice and honesty and best price given

Great - I bought most of the gear I need for ACT from cheaper stores in Thamel but rented my down sleeping bag from Shona. Staff were great and very knowledgeable. We also bought high quality silk liners which were great to have while trekking and staying in hostels. Great quality gear here. Worth the price.

The staff is really helpful and honest about what you will need and what you will not need for your trek. I got here my winter jacket for EBC and it was amazing quality, super warm at a great price. They make them themselves. They also rent sleeping bags and jackets. I’m super happy to have found this little place.

I have just rented a down jacket and sleeping bag for a very good price. Shona also asked me if I had everything that is going to be needed for the 3 passes trek and advised me what I needed and what I did not need to take. Very reassuring.

2017 Fantastic service and advice. The owner told me exactly what we needed for our trek and even told us to not buy some expensive alpine pants because we wouldn't need them. We went back twice. 2024 We were back in Nepal and went to Shona's again. I got useful advice about the Trek we had planned and I bought some hiking pants that fit perfectly. Love this shop.
