What to expect

  1. Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
    Pass by
    Thamel is Kathmandu's most iconic tourist area a lively, maze-like neighborhood of narrow streets packed with trekking shops, handicraft stores, rooftop restaurants, cafés, and bustling nightlife.

    Long known as the starting point for Himalayan expeditions, it's where trekkers stock up on gear before heading into the mountains, and where travelers from around the world gather to eat, shop, and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Amid the shops and neon signs, pockets of old Kathmandu still remain — quiet courtyards, small Buddhist stupas, and hidden temples tucked between the crowds. By day it hums with commerce and color; by night it comes alive with music, lights, and energy, making it one of the most memorable and walkable neighborhoods in the city.
  2. Ason Bazaar
    10m
    Ason is one of Kathmandu's oldest and busiest traditional marketplaces, sitting at a historic crossroads that has connected trade routes through the valley for centuries. Unlike the tourist-oriented shops of Thamel, Ason is where locals actually shop.
    The air is thick with the smell of fresh spices and incense, and the sounds of vendors calling out prices, rickshaws squeezing through crowds, and temple bells ringing overhead.
  3. Seto Machindranath Temple
    5m
    Located at Keltole between Ason and Indra Chok in central Kathmandu, the temple is believed to have been established around the 10th century and worshipped by both hindus and buddhist.
  4. Indra Chowk
    Pass by
    Indra Chowk is one of Kathmandu's oldest and most important public squares, sitting right at the crossroads between Thamel/Durbar Square and the Ason Bazaar.

    Historically a major trading hub along the old trans-Himalayan trade route, it remains a vibrant local marketplace today — famous especially for its textile and sari shops, along with vendors selling shawls, blankets, beads, and daily household goods.
