Watch on YouTubeThamel is where most travellers land in Kathmandu: a maze of guesthouses, gear shops, cafés and music bars. By day it’s all about trekking permits and rented sleeping bags. By night it turns into something else entirely.
In this vlog I wander from a rooftop dinner to a small live music bar, try some late-night snacks, and then step into the quieter neighbourhoods just a few minutes away, where local life carries on as if the tourist streets didn’t exist.
Good to knowMany places close earlier than in other capitals. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowds, and walk a few lanes out of Thamel for cheaper, more local food.
