Balaram quoted my request very carefully and reasonable. All my taylor made transfers within Kathmandu and also to/from Pokhara he performed with excellent drivers and cars (Sedan and 4x4) right on time, save and comfortable. Even the big rains and flood with some devasteted roads in OCT 2024 could not impact our deal (meaning not to double the prices as others did). He was very honorable. I can recommend very highly his services

Thamel is the commercial, tourist and busiest area in Kathmandu. The place is pretty popular with tourists thanks to the concentration of hotels, hostels and shops packed into narrow lanes. There was a time when Thamel was part of the lower budget end hippie trail, but the hotels now cater to a much, much wider range of budgets. I was staying here for a few days before my Everest Base Camp hike and it was a useful place to stock up on items I would need. As did other foreign hikers and mountaineers, who were very noticeable in the shops. If you are planning on hiking, but haven't yet booked with an agent, then there is no end of agencies here who can help. I’d already arranged my EBC tour online anyway, but I thought I would mention it since it’s cheaper if you were to make the arrangements here in Nepal. As Thamel is so popular with tourists, there are also international restaurants, shops selling souvenirs, woollen goods, and clothing, as well as shops selling telephones and internet SIM cards. Although I thought many of the shops had prices that were aimed at tourists i.e. overpriced.

Probably the most vibrant part of Kathmandu. Shops, eateries and more shops. Durbar Square is the main attraction there in. However, it is comprised of narrow streets and alleys and is quite difficult to navigate. There are few sidewalks and you basically walk in the street praying that you will not get hit by a car or a scooter. Not a pleasant experience. Also It is dirty, noisy and almost impossible to navigate. However , It is a must see and do on any visit to Kathmandu but I would opt to stay in a much saner area such as Lazimpat.

A bit more expensive but service is excellent. Loud nightclubs can be a problem now that there are no closing hours. Kgh is my favorite for comfort and friendliness. Beautiful peaceful garden. Arabica bean is my coffee shop

We always like to vibes in Thamel when we visit Kathmandu. Lots of eateries and shops for trekking gears and clothing. Also lots of travel agents here wheee you can book your trekking, sightseeing, Bhutan, Tibet tours.

Thamel is the happening part of kathmandu. Shopping, cafes, vibe, nice hotels, spas, night life... U find everything here. Though it's mainly lanes and you have to walk around but great experience. You can stay in some lovely 3 star hotels in reasonable price. And walk around to enjoy other cafes till late at night. Taxis come inside lanes.

Embrace the vibrant energy of Thamel, Kathmandu's bustling hub for tourists and adventurers alike! 🌍 From budget-friendly hostels to luxury hotels, this area has it all. Stock up on hiking essentials and immerse yourself in the rich culture and diverse offerings of international cuisine and unique souvenirs. Whether you're gearing up for a Himalayan hike or simply exploring, Thamel has something for everyone.

This is the area where most tourists visiting Kathmandu stay. There are many hotels to choose from, ranging in various nightly rates. Also present in this neighborhood are restaurants, shops seeling all types of goods, and of course, the Durbar Square.

This is the most preferred place for a traveler around Kathmandu, It has good shopping area, and also has good place to eat. I love HimalayasCraftNepal in thamel to buy singing bowls. It also have good hotels. The area is clean and tidy with good security also.
