Kathmandu (Nepali: काठमाडौं) is the capital and largest city of Nepal, is and has been for many years the centre of Nepal's history, art, culture, and economy. Temples in Kathmandu are must-go for tourists, but even wandering around the city is also a good program.
Thamel (Nepali: ठमेल) is located in Kathmandu, it has been the centre of the tourist industry for over four decades, there are many hotels, restaurants and bars here, even Choumeizai lived here.
Thamel is also famous for its nightlife, it is crowded with tourists at night but lonely in the morning, as if there are two parallel universes.
Ason Bazar (असन बजार) is located at the border of Thamel, old buildings and old shops are everywhere, it is the true old area of Kathmandu, most of the people live here are locals.
There are many hawkers here, but obviously their targets are locals only, no one is interested in Choumeizai the tourist.
Same as Indians, Nepalese are also religious people, so there are many temples around, all of them are colorful and exotic.
Perhaps most people who appear here are locals, Nepalese traditional attires are everywhere, the atmosphere is so exotic.
Everytime when Choumezai going to the other countries, he always like to visit the old areas, since the old areas are still untainted from the ‘pollution’ of tourism, you can know more about the local culture.
