I have been in prettier gardens but none so peaceful and welcome after trying to grab a bargain in the shops of Thames, Kathmandu. It was a pleasure to sit in the shade and enjoy the peace (well apart from the horns from the thousands of motorbikes and mopeds outside the walls). We had a very pleasant peach iced tea and lassi in the cafe before venturing out again. Happy to pay to go in again if we need to recharge.

Do you need an escape from the hectic traffic-filled beauty and chaos of Kathmandu? Then it's time to visit the Garden of Dreams. An isle of calm in a sea of noise, people, traffic. A place to sit and relax or reflect on the multitude of sights encountered in the busting city. A place to rejuvenate spirit and reenergize the body. With a small cafe serving excellent food, this is one of the absolute best spots to stop in Kathmandu.

A peaceful break from walking around Thamel. I came early, as it opened, and enjoyed the quiet with a few others. As two hours went by, it became busier, but there is enough space for everyone to spread out I found a quiet bench in the shade and enjoyed the calm. A soothing place for a sensitive traveler to pause and breathe.

THIS place is a peaceful oasis from the noisy bustle and crazy traffic which is Kathmandu. The gardens are well laid out with several water features, colourful planting, graceful trees and a chance to relax in a little cafe area. All that said, I still felt I was being discretely drained of as much money as the site could get out of me. Entry cost R400 or about £2.40. This is not a lot of money but it is still a great deal by local standards for what might politely be called a "compact" garden. The cafe then adds to the cost. Yes, you can ignore it, but a cool drink on a hot day is difficult to resist and that was another R170 or just over £1. I didn't begrudge the money but I'm bound to say others sat round me grumbled at the cost which was a pity as I had spent a pleasant half hour walking round the gardens and enjoying a break from the busy merry-go-round of sightseeing in Kathmandu. Overall I would say that a visit to the Garden of Dreams is worthwhile without being outstanding.

Peaceful place heart of the Thamel Kathmandu. For yoga, peacefully walk, find one corner and read the books absolutely worth to go. It’s resembling part of ancient Europe model. Try to go here.

I have been this place after my launch but spend more then 6 hours. This garden located heart of Thamel, once I entered here, I motions calmed into peace of mind. Beautifully decorates with full of history. It’s worth to visit this place, this is highlighted sport of traveller.

Discovering this place was serendipitous, and we're delighted we did. The setting was stunning, and the restaurant inside the premises proved to be exceptional. The ambiance, service, and cocktails were spot-on, making the entry fee entirely worthwhile. I would visit again to try some of of their main dishes.

Situated in the middle of the city this is an incredibly tranquil and lovely garden. They have done a remarkable job in the renovation and the cafe is also a lovely place to sit and have a coffee/ some cake can relax. A must visit.

We came here twice to meet with friends. On a hot day when the air quality is bad it is amazing to slip within these walls into the green park and gardens. On both days it was quite busy, with lots of families and young couples visiting. Anyone with an interest in botany will find plenty here to keep them occupied. I particularly enjoyed looking out for the little squirrels that make their home here.

The tranquil ambiance, coupled with its fascinating historic background, adds depth to the experience, making it not just a garden but a journey through time. this garden caters to all.
