Electric Pagoda was started as the brain child of San Francisco native Sam Walton in 2006. Initially the electric pagoda name was intended to be the trade mark of Walton's newly established Asian Tour Company, Electric pagoda travel. During one of his frequent stays in Kathmandu following the completion of a Tibet / China tour, Walton decided to investigate the possibilities of establishing the electric pagoda name in Kathmandu under the guise of a Bar / Cafe in the Thamel area. Sam recruited Kathmandu local investors / Friends Ranjit Gurung and Guarav Shrestha to help him find the perfect location for electric pagoda bar / cafe. After the arrangements were made and the perfect local was found, E.P. commenced business and ran in a limited capacity as a bar only through the summer of 08. A fourth partner became part of the E.P. vision when Arizona native Justin Reeves arrived in August. The fall trekking season of 08 helped E.P. get a foothold in the competitive Thamel hospitality industry. Now operating at maximum capacity, offering great food and drink, a one of a kind atmosphere and regular special events, E.P is well on its way to becoming the pulse of Thamel.

Our goal is to provide a unique and peaceful environment for travelers and locals alike, serve top quality cuisine and cocktails and to set the standard for live music events in Kathmandu. The Electric Pagoda philosophy is all about connections, E.P is a place where people from all over the world can connect and feel right at home. Anyone who has done a bit of travelling knows that it's always easier to get around if you have friends in faraway places. At EP we want to provide an environment where international travelers and Nepalis can freely mingle, make connections and have memorable experiences that will transform into lasting friendships.

Bursting with party people and cosmic vibes, E.P. offers authentic Sonoran Mexican, Continental / Western and Nepali dishes at competitive prices. With a fully stocked bar of imported and local spirits, E.P’s late night bar is quickly earning a reputation as one of the best party places in Kathmandu.
