Buried deep within the sprawling metropolis of Kathmandu — the Himalayan capital of Nepal, lies the popular neighborhood of Thamel. This fascinating enclave pulsates with a frenetic energy, born not just from Nepal's flourishing tourism trade, but centuries of South Asian history as well. Once a quiet, residential area, Thamel blossomed in the 1960's with the arrival of the hippies and their alternative lifestyles. The area soon morphed into a haven for adventurous travelers from the West. The narrow and bustling streets — once trod by those early adventure seekers, are now lined with overflowing shops. Souvenirs, local goods, trekking gear and delicious cuisine can all be found along this crowded stretch. At night the chorus of constant street noise mixes with live music spilling out from local bars. As Thamel, and Nepal, continue to evolve, both past and present intertwine to create a vibrant feast for the senses — comprised of modern energy and ancient charm. Come walk this captivating locale, and be inspired for future journeys. #thamel #kathmandu #nepal
