Currently it operates from six locations within Kathmandu valley,i.e. Kamal Pokhari, Khusibhun, Khumaltar, Satdobato-tikabhairab road, Hatti Ban and Mahalaxmi. Kai Weise, a correspondent of The Himalayan Times, labelled Krishna Pauroti "the first bakery in Nepal". [3] Certainly people must have been baking things in the country before that not necessarily as they are today. But when it comes to a commercial operation or establishment of baking profession no other businesses than Krishna Pauroti can be found recorded before it. [4]
