What to expect

Ason Bazaar
45m · Admission ticket included

Ason has been at the heart of Kathmandu's commercial life for centuries. Traditionally, it has been an important crossroads for trade, connecting different parts of the Kathmandu Valley and beyond.
Today, it remains one of the city's great centers of everyday life.
Indra Chowk
45m · Admission ticket included

At Indra Chowk, we visit the Akash Bhairav Temple, one of the city's important guardian shrines, where locals come to pay their respects and make offerings. After this glimpse into Kathmandu's living spiritual traditions, we enjoy our first taste of the morning: a warm cup of Nepali milk tea with sel roti, a traditional rice bread that makes for a simple and comforting start to the day.
45m

We leave the bustle of Indra Chowk and disappear into the hidden lanes of old Kathmandu, arriving at the centuries-old hidden courtyard of Itumbahal. Here, we stop for hot black tea and freshly fried gwaramari crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and the perfect fuel for our morning adventure.
Kathesimbu Stupa
45m · Admission ticket included

We stumble upon a mini Swayambhu, meet a flock of pigeons, and peek into the city's monastic life. Then comes the surprise a steaming cup of hot lemon with black salt. Just three simple ingredients, but somehow, it hits the spot.
