Kathmandu - A Similar Land with Brand-New Thrills!

We all have heard a lot about Nepal – our neighbor country, a pure Hindu Kingdom and a place where many erratic teenagers from Bihar and UP run away to. This is where Shahrukh Khan is as popular as he is in India and our Indian rupee is not a foreign currency at all. In fact, this tiny kingdom has a lot more similar to us (India), and that’s it has been thronged by so many Indians.

A Nepal tour usually starts from the capital city ‘Kathmandu’, and many of the travelers end it up around. A seamless existence of the old and the new all over Kathmandu does never fail to impress its visitors. From bizarrely overcrowded markets to tranquil hillocks, and ancient temples & sanctuaries to sleepless nightclubs, this lovely city has it all. The variation of tourist attractions leaves you thinking how a small territory can be so piebald.

Taking about Kathmandu tourism attractions, the name ‘Thamel’ comes on the top. Even at the airport, the taxi drivers and local street-vendors may know Thamel all too well. A full wi-fi zone in Kathmandu, it has been the center of tourism industry in the city. Narrow streets here are lined up with small shops, skinny buildings and all categories of hotels. This area has some of the best Kathmandu hotels and a large selection of dining avenues. Shopping in Thamel is unavoidable, as markets here offer everything from food to clothes, walking gears, DVDs, handcrafts, hotel rooms and jewelry at attractive prices. Thamel is also a pre-base camp for mountaineers. It boasts almost all tourism facilities and has been frequented by a large number of audience, tourists as well as locals, for entertainment and fun purpose.

To taste religiousness and royalty of Nepalese, visit the temples and palaces of the city. The Famous Darbar Square is popular choice for those with sense of culture and religiousness. This grand palace has heavily strict rules: the non-Hindus and those wearing leather are not allowed inside. When it comes to plan a Kathmandu tour perfectly, various Kathmandu packages available online are handy options.
