Shona's Alpine

Extremely rude staff. I went there to get down jackets and sleeping bags. But the staff was extremely rude. It was like he wanted me to get out of there quickly. I left and shopped at another place.

Bought and rented gear from Shona for our hike. She is super knowledgeable and is fair with pricing. Couldn’t recommend more

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.

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!

Shona knows her stuff. Down to earth people who aren’t there to rip you off. Would recommend 🤝

He is really helpful guy and honest. Remember he don't bargain!

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!

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.
