Bhaktapur, a small city on the outskirts of Kathmandu, is a cultural hub. It’s been coined “the cultural capital of Nepal” and certainly lives up to the name. While you can experience beautiful architecture, dive into the history, or learn a new art form, culture has always been about one thing for me. The food. […]
50+ Places To Visit in Kathmandu: Museums, Temples, Hikes & More
Almost every tourist I talk to seems to hate Kathmandu. “It’s dusty, and noisy, and there’s nothing to do.” It’s the complaint I’ve heard a million times, followed by “One day is enough time there.” It seems like everyone goes to the same three or four places in Thamel and considers that the entire city. […]

Kathmandu Night Life: The Best Clubs, Lounges, and Bars
I’m going to be honest and say that I’m not really big on going out late at night. I’m more of a snuggle up in bed and read a book kind of girl. However, I’ve been in Kathmandu long enough that I’ve frequented a few cool lounges (totally my scene) as well as a few […]
The Best Restaurants in Thamel, Kathmandu

The best restaurants in Thamel have everything from Italian style pasta to Japanese ramen. You can have whatever your heart desires. […]
The Best Restaurants in Kathmandu According to Locals
Whenever I talk about the best restaurants in Kathmandu, my friends back home are shocked at the variety of cuisines. Kathmandu has quickly become my second home, and while many people speed through the city, I actually love coming back between treks and adventures to relax and take in the food scene. That’s right, I […]
The Best Restaurants in Patan & Lalitpur
Patan, a small city, just a half hour drive outside of Kathmandu is known for its beautiful architecture. Its little windy alleyways and colorful shops draw visitors from all over Nepal. But, when I looked online for restaurant recommendations, the lists seemed repetitive and to be honest, not that great. Most recommended the same five […]

Take in some culture at the museums, visit […]
