These places are full of wood and stone carvings of hundreds of deities, which will tell you a lot about Nepal’s history. Also, make sure you visit the Swayambhunath and Bouddhanath stupas and experience the utter bliss these places offer.

4. Shopping for handicrafts:
Go around the streets of Thamel, Bhaktapur and Patan to find beautiful hand made products. There are a wide variety of products that you can find ranging from handmade clothes, Pashmina shawls, silver jewelry, paintings, decorative pieces like masks, statues and so much more.

5. Night life in Thamel:
Thamel is the center of the tourist industry in Kathmandu and also the best place to relax after a day of all the travelling and sightseeing. There are a large number of bars, pubs and clubs to choose from. Whether you like dancing, or enjoying some live music, or a quiet and cozy bar to enjoy your drink for the night, you can find it all in Thamel.
6. Jatras:
Try to find out if there are any Jatras (Newari Street Festivals) going on when you are in Kathmandu. If there is then please make sure you go to one of them. It’s the best way to see the Newari culture up close, with people dancing and singing on beats of traditional musical instruments and people dressed in colorful costumes it’s an awesome experience on its own.
7. Roaming around the Gallis of Patan and Bhaktapur:
Going around the gallis (narrow street ways) Patan and Bhaktapur will give you the perfect idea of the old Newari architecture. It’s easy to get lost in these places, but we’re sure you wouldn’t mind that because there is always so much to see and so much you can find out about. The beautiful courtyards, the carved windows, those small wooden doors, these small narrow pathways will show you a whole new aspect of Kathmandu.
8. Pokhara:
Pokhara, the gateway to the mountains is situated around 147kms from the capital city Kathmandu. It is a beautiful city famous for its lakes. You cannot go wrong in Pokhara, it is the perfect place for a holiday. Be it an adventure holiday with activities like hiking, Paragliding, bungee, etc. or a lazy one where you just want to loiter around the city with sightseeing, boating, enjoying a drink in one of those perfect lakeside restaurants it is the place you wouldn’t want to miss when you are in Nepal.
9. Go for a trek:
If you are visiting Nepal then you are probably here to do a trek to one of its glorious trekking destinations. If not, then you should! With so many options to choose from, you can find the perfect location and route for yourself. Take a chance to see the beautiful nature of the country up close and personal. Not that much of a trekker then don’t worry, there are so many close hiking destinations around the cities which will give you just as much of the nature and just as much of the view.
