The Summit is a very special Nepali style hotel. It was founded some 30 years ago by a small group of Dutchmen who had, and still have, a great affinity for the country, Its mountains, people, history and culture. Terraces set in spacious fl ower garden vive views north across the Kathmandu valley to the shivapuri ridgeling and on clear days the snow clad Himalayan range beyond. Open balconies with local hand made tiles fl oors and carved wooden pillars connect to the room.
