We found that cozy Café / Bistro Caravan with "stupa view" at the so called Kora of Boudha Stupa Katmandu; means: while you walk clockwise around that buddhist monument. From the upper floor you have the best view to the worldwide known place. They have very tasty coffee and tea and if you are in mood for cake: try it! We also tried during our visits different meals and fruit muesli offers. Café Caravan was a cozy place for relaxation and good taste.

Best place in boudha to have good food with amazing view. Everything prepared here has homely taste. The service is spot on. The atmosphere, ambience, view of the boudha is perfect. I would recommend anyone to dine here. The prices are also not too expensive compared to other boudha restaurants.

Delicious & cozy atmosphere Friendly and the food and coffee drinks are tasty. My new favorite place to have brunch. Bagel breakfast sandwiches, paninis, and more. Gift shop with local crafts and a gallery. They’re careful with Covid-19 safety, so it’s cozy and safe.

The view is great, coffee is good. They also sell good quality Nepalese handcraft. Ideal for a slow morning coffee. Sit by the window and watch people circling around the Stupa. Very nice staff and good music too. Cash only though. The washroom should improve and have soap as a minimum.
