What people say

Alex Mc Angel
"Thamel is just the centre of Kathmandu where everything is happening. Cafes, restaurants, money exchange, hostels, hotels, guesthouses. My best recommendation is to get lost around the area. Oh, and don’t be surprised by locals stopping you asking you for your name, they are genuinely curious about travelers. Some others might just want to sell you their good, you simply tell them you are not interested. People won’t insist. But I tell you, talking to locals was one of my highlights. "
