Walking Tour Around Thamel (Kathmandu)

Itinerary Start in Thamel: Meet your guide in the bustling district of Thamel, the heart of Kathmandu, and begin your walking adventure. Walk through the streets: Immerse yourself in the lively streets of Kathmandu, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and admiring the traditional Newari architecture. Annapurna temple: Annapurna Temple, located at Asan Tole, is dedicated to Goddess Annapurna, the Goddess of abundance. It is believed that walking around the shrine, touching a coin to the heads, and then throwing it into the temple will bring prosperity and abundance of all worldly goods. Kathesimbhu stupa: The Kathesimbhu stupa is a 17th-century copy of the famous Swayambhunath Stupa. Technically speaking, the Kathesimbhu stupa is a massive chaitya set inside a walled courtyard with smaller chaityas surrounding it with inscriptions and statues, and an ancient monastery (Sighahbaha) just behind it. Yetkha Bahal: Despite the extreme hustle and bustle of overpopulated Kathmandu city, you will soon feel at peace, once you’re inside the Yetkha Bahal. It is a traditional courtyard, built with amazing Newa art and architecture.
