| INTRODUCTION
& LOCATION |
Vajra first of all offers an architectural
feast harmonising beauty and practicality. Doors
and windows designed and carved by Utam Raj
of Patan, who descends directly from the carvers
of the great Durbars of Kathmandu Valley. Ceiling
frescos of the Great Pagoda Room painted by
Rinchen Norbu, the great Tibetan Master, wall
frescos in the restaurant are painted by Bimal
Moktan the outstanding Tamang Painter, are some
of the features you will discover here. The
site itself, near the powerful Bijeswori temple
complex, from which the area derives its name,
stands on the age-old pilgrim's road to Swayambhu.
On any early morning you may join the pilgrims,
Nepali, Tibetan, Bhutanese. In fact you may
see a Buddhist from any part of the world on
their ascent to the great two thousand years
old Stupa which offers an extraordinary panorama
of the sacred Valley and the high Himalayas.
The Rooftop Gardens of the hotel provides a
magnificent morning or sunset panorama of the
snowy peaks of the Himalaya, looking directly
on the Pagodas of Durbar Square (Center of medieval
Kathmandu) and up to the Swayambhu Stupa. A
twenty minute's walk takes you to each. We have
a total of 50 rooms with different settings
which include 3 Suites, 18 Deluxe Rooms, 20
Rooms with shower and Restroom and 9 Rooms with
common bath.
Our bright and cozy rooms are certainly the
heart and embodiment of the Vajra concept. Every
detail is co-ordinated to create a distinguished
flavor of its own. From the deep rich monk's
robe red to the gentle peaceful pastels of a
clear statement is easily read, simplicity and
beauty
