Hotel Shanker is a magnificent heritage hotel in Kathmandu that first opened its doors in 1964. It's in Lazimpat, very near to the ancient Narayanhity Palace Museum. The building's architectural style is neoclassical and was built for General Jit Shumsher Rana.
Hotel Shanker, Kathmandu is a heritage hotel housed in a 19th-century palace within walking distance to popular places Thamel and Durbar Marg, Kathmandu's tourist hubs. From 1894 to 1964, it served as the royal home of Nepal's monarchs before being converted into a luxury hotel. The facade was kept intact, but the interior of the hotel was redesigned to give travelers the kind of comfort they'd expect of a world-class hotel. The hotel is characterized by exquisite and authentic objects d'art. For example, the carved windows displayed in the lobby bar are over 200 years old.
This hotel is currently a reputed address in Kathmandu, Nepal. Tourists have been able to make reservations online since 2004. The hotel won the Trip Advisor Travelers' choice awards for the years 2013 and 2014 in the top hotels' category.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).

We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
