Hand-knotted luxury rugs in Tibetan wool, banana silk and rare natural fibres — crafted by master weavers in Kathmandu.
Our Heritage
For over three decades, Everest Carpet Nepal has transformed the ancient craft of hand-knotted rug making into a living art form. Each piece begins in our Kathmandu atelier, where master weavers blend centuries-old Tibetan techniques with contemporary design sensibilities.
We source only the finest materials: hand-spun Himalayan wool selected for its lustre and tensile strength, lustrous banana silk that catches the light like no synthetic fibre can, and rare Himalayan nettle — each chosen for its unique character and exceptional durability.
Every rug leaves our workshop bearing the mark of its maker. No two are identical. That is not a limitation. It is the point.
The Collection
Stripe Collection
Rust · Ochre · Ebony
Bold horizontal banding in hand-spun Himalayan wool. The gradient colourways are achieved through natural dye bathing — madder for the deep rusts, weld for the golds, iron-bath for the near-blacks. Because each batch is hand-dyed separately, no two rugs are identical.
Gradient Series
Teal · Slate · Mist
A wash of colour that moves from deep teal through slate to a warm mist — the palette of high-altitude glaciers in the hour before sunset. The gradient is achieved through successive dye baths at incrementally adjusted temperatures: a process that requires the dyer's complete attention across three days.
Floral Collection
Scattered Wildflower · Warm Earth
Scattered wildflowers on a warm terracotta field. Inspired by the garden manuscripts of 17th century Mughal craftsmen, reinterpreted through contemporary Himalayan eyes. The floral motifs are hand-drawn by our in-house designers before being transferred to the loom.
Limited Edition
Translations of great paintings into tactile, hand-knotted surfaces. Each piece is a limited edition of twelve.
Kathmandu Atelier
The knot density in our finest rugs exceeds 300 knots per square inch. A single 9×12 foot rug can take four weavers six months to complete — more than 5,000 hours of continuous, meditative labour.
Our weavers do not use chemical washing to accelerate the antique effect. Our rugs earn their patina through use — through the life lived in the rooms they inhabit.
We have worked with the same weaving families for two and three generations. The knowledge transfers in person, by demonstration, by proximity — not through manuals or machinery.
Every thread carries the memory of the mountain it came from.
From Fibre to Floor
Hand-sorted Himalayan wool and silk selected for lustre, length and tensile strength. Each batch is graded by hand.
Plant-based dyes from madder, indigo, weld and walnut. Multiple mordant baths to achieve depth and permanence.
Tibetan-style hand knotting on vertical looms. Each knot tied individually — up to 300 per square inch in our finest pieces.
Pile carving, washing in mineral water, sun drying on the riverbank. No chemical processing.
