This is the touristic hubspot of Nepal. Swamped with hotels and restaurants, the area offers all kinds of services targeted to tourists. Thamel streets are very narrow and vehicles can barely move around but this may have had a positive impact on the area: People tend to walk and it makes the whole area so lively.

Thamel gets livelier as the sun goes down. The restaurants have live-bands singing favourite tunes from classical and rock to jazz and blues. You can also enjoy good food from all over the world and hangout in cozy bars or cut yourself loose in one of the many nighclubs. The best thing is everything is walking distance and thats what makes it the most happening place in town.
