Thamel
About Thamel
Kathmandu's traveller district, a dense grid of lanes full of trekking outfitters, gear shops, guesthouses, rooftop restaurants and bars. It's where most people arrange permits, guides and treks, and where you'll keep running into the same faces. It's noisy and commercial, but very easy for solo travellers β and the Garden of Dreams is right on its edge for a break.
Why it works for solo travelers
- β Comfortable to visit on your own.
- β Good for meeting other travelers and locals.
- β Free to visit.
