About Us

Everest Thanka Treasures is a leading producer and distributor of authentic Tibetan, Newari, and Japanese Thangkas, proudly based in Thamel, Kathmandu. Founded by Mr. Bal Gopal Shrestha, who brings over 30 years of expertise, we have been sharing Nepal’s sacred Thangka art with the world for more than a decade.

​

Each Thangka in our collection is handmade by master artists, often taking months or even years to complete, using natural colors, 24-carat gold, and silver, and many are blessed by Lamas. Whether for spiritual practice, collection, or decoration, our Thangkas are crafted to inspire and preserve this timeless tradition.
