Kathmandu is a city of ancient temples, palaces and many gods. Once a sanctuary for nature lovers, it was a true Shangrila. Recently due to over development the temples, palaces, gods once the lords of our architectural skylines are now hidden in between the advent of modernization. The open spaces and gardens are few and far between.

However, there are a few pieces of this sanctuary still preserved in the valley. One piece of this heaven is the Shaligram Apartment-Hotel. Located in the peaceful Jawalakhel area, with the national zoo close by, the core of the ancient Patan city within walking distance, and Langtang & Ganesh Himals looming to the north the apartment-hotel provides the highest standards in terms of service and living area.
       
Most international development organizations are within walking distance as this area is termed "The INGO capital of Nepal ".
