    Walk through Thamel's main streets and lanes with your female guide. The walk covers four areas: how the neighborhood is laid out and how to move around confidently on your own; where to shop for trekking gear and souvenirs without getting overcharged and which shops to skip; where locals and experienced travelers actually eat and drink, from dal bhat to rooftop restaurants; and practical advice on trekking preparation, yoga studios and cooking classes. This is a conversational walk — ask your guide anything throughout.
