About Kathmandu for Solo Travelers
The gateway to the Himalayas — solo trekkers gather in Kathmandu's ancient squares, arrange their Annapurna or Everest permits, and find the city's Buddhist stupas, Hindu temples, and chaotic energy a profound introduction to Nepal.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Kathmandu is one of Asia's great solo bases — Thamel (the backpacker hub) is very social, the Boudhanath stupa is one of Buddhism's most sacred and beautiful sites (circumambulate clockwise with pilgrims at dawn), and Pashupatinath temple's evening cremation ghats are as profound as Varanasi. Most trekkers to Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit start here; tea houses on the trails are extremely solo-friendly and social. Get your TIMS permit and Annapurna Conservation Area permit here.

Best Wellness in Kathmandu for Solo Travelers
Showing 1 spot in Wellness
Pranamaya Yoga Studio
Wellness
Kathmandu's best-known yoga studio, with its main space on the top floor of Himalayan Java on Tridevi Marg in Thamel and further studios in Patan and Pokhara. Classes run daily and are kept small, so you need to pre-book online rather than walk in. A good way to stretch out stiff legs before or after a trek, or to add some calm to a busy city stay.
