About The Himalayan Bazaar

The Himalayan Bazaar on Main Street in Ann Arbor has a unique history. The relationship between Pem Dorjee Sherpa and Heather O’Neal goes back to 1998 when Heather was trekking to Everest base camp in Nepal. In the following years, they maintained communication even though Pem lived in a remote village at the time and spoke no English. Having spent her junior year abroad in Nepal in 1986/87, Heather spoke some Nepali. They now work together, combining their efforts to lead tours, give cultural talks and educational presentations and to operate a shop selling Himalayan imports. At the store you'll learn about the meanings of Buddhist and Hindu rituals, symbols and art, and you will share in the histories of these items.The Himalayan Bazaar Shop in Kathmandu without leaving A2!
