About this spot

Keshar Library, also spelled Kaiser Library, is in the Kaiser Mahal complex near Thamel. It offers reading and reference access to a historic collection. Check the library’s current reading-room arrangements, opening hours and rules for personal books or laptops before setting up for a long study session. Borrowing and access to older material may be restricted.

The collection began as Keshar Shumsher’s private library after his visit to Britain in 1908.
