What Himalayan Singing Bowl and Trading is known for

Nabaraj Pokharel opened Himalayan Singing Bowl and Trading in Lakeside, Pokhara in 1990 after becoming interested in singing bowls through meditation. The shop works with Nepalese artisans on handmade bowls using traditional metalworking methods, also carries gongs, bells and statues, offers sound-healing sessions and ships online; its bowl-making process uses metal alloys, repeated heating, hammering, annealing, shaping and careful tuning.
