Kathmandu Insider Tip

Kathmandu's Thamel neighbourhood is tourist-central but the real soul of the city is in the Newari old town around Asan Chowk and Indra Chowk. Walk north from Durbar Square at dawn when the vegetable sellers set up and the temples come alive with puja smoke and devotees.

Amsterdam Insider Tip

Cycling is the dominant mode of transport โ€” stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต Kathmandu Fun Fact

Kathmandu sits in a valley that was, geologically, an ancient lake โ€” the Kathmandu Lake drained roughly 10,000 years ago. The city is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites within just 15 km of each other, including the living goddess (Kumari) whose incarnations have been venerated since the 17th century.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Amsterdam Fun Fact

Amsterdam has more bicycles than residents and over 1,500 bridges crossing its famous canals.
