Hey / What's up
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.
Tip 18–20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks — stay right, pass left.
