The Tamil area is the busiest neighbourhood in Kathmandu. It is the most densely populated neighborhood in Nepal and even South Asia. It is also the most abundant nightlife in Nepal, but the crowd is also very uncomfortable. It is reported that only tourist special vehicles, water supply vehicles, security vehicles and ambulances can enter Tamil after obtaining special permission. However, there are still many cars that will enter narrow neighborhoods. But in the Tamil area, only two vehicles are free to enter and exit, one is a bicycle, but a tricycle. Bicycles are generally used by hawkers to sell fruit, while tricycles are used to pull guests. When taxis are banned from entering the Tamil area, tricycles become the main means of transportation for tourists. But the price of a tricycle is not cheap!

Nepal Kathmandu shopping guide, local must buy hand letter sharing like my share remember "Follow" will continue to share more than 200 cities in 34 countries to go , referred to as Jiadu, is the capital of Nepal and the largest city to Kathmandu shopping. The must-see is Tamil Street, known as Little Hong Kong, which is a place where many tourists gather.

Local hand-embroidered scarves, coin purses, backpacks, costumes, Kashmir's scarves, etc. 2. Jewelry , crystal enamel, bracelet, ancient 3. Thangka, and other Buddhist supplies 4. Himalayan series cosmetics, medicines 5. Nepalese black tea Notes : In addition to some fixed-price items, other items need to be bargained, 1/2 or even 1/4 of the price, can you talk about your skill.

Nepal, seeing her first sight, may not fall in love with her so easily, however, the more you understand it, the more you want to be close to her. . . The taxi here seems to be still in the early 90s of China, with a small body, dilapidated interiors, and dusty windows. From the airport to the hotel, about 30 minutes by car, when the car left the airport, I realized that I really came to the legendary Kathmandu, the air, the dust. . . Pedestrians walked calmly on the narrow sidewalks. The people sitting in front of the store were two or three people. They smothered the dust, motorcycles, taxis, buses, and piled them into a pile, blocking the road. Originally thought that dust was the biggest enemy of the city, but found that a heavy rain poured out the dust, but it brought another problem. . . Muddy road. The whole city was not covered with a thick layer of ash, but it was covered with a layer of mud, and later discovered that this is their simplest existence. Tamil District, this is a very flavored neighborhood, a small and crowded trail, intertwined, here is an old town in Kathmandu, no luxury buildings, only the mark of time. In the Tamil area, getting lost is a common thing. On both sides of these labyrinths, there are densely packed small buildings, the buildings are not high, and one by one window squats, looking up, there will always be many People squatting on the window sill and looking back and forth to the crowded streets, it seems to be part of their lives.

Getting There - Attractions - Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Shopping -

The famous Tamil district of the Kathmandu Center is the same as the Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand. Every day, tens of thousands of tourists travel to and from the big and small streets and hutongs of the Tamil area. Whether it is day or night, there is always a noisy voice, and its all day long. Venues along the street, set up large and small stalls, selling a variety of drinks, fresh fruit, as well as Nepalese specialties and food. However, in addition to being an ideal choice for accommodation, there are actually many interesting things to explore in the Tamil area. Around the lively streets, there are also many interesting houses scattered, as well as some turbid areas with a relatively chaotic environment. These places, although not traditional tourist attractions, capture the human landscape and record the moving moments. Those beautiful and unforgettable faces are memories that are unforgettable on the road.

I ended the first day of training and got up early the next day. The staff sent me to the tourist bus to Pokhara, which was still next to the Tamil area. The car is generally the same, it doesn't matter, it is not to enjoy it anyway. Find a seat in the corner where no one is seated and start to sway with the vehicle. After more than 7 hours of bumps, I arrived at the station on Pokhara Lakeside Road. On the phone, the male owner of the host I am about to stay told me to let me wait in the spot, he will pick me up later. This is an hour. Unlike the imagination, the male owner came by taxi, his legs and feet were not very good, as if he had been injured and disabled. In that taxi, we arrived at a place near the pier of Fewa Lake and continued to wait for the bus into the mountain. Oh, I bought it. I used to drive to pick me up, even if the taxi is good. The result is good. Not only does it have no car, but also crowds the bus. It was more than half an hour, a colorful car came, the owner signaled me to get on the bus, but where did I get packed up, the old car was full of people, quite the morning peak of the Beijing subway. Thanks to the help of the male owner, it is really hard. The passengers in the car looked at me carrying a big bag and seemed to be full of curiosity. It was a long afternoon. I didn't know what was waiting for myself. So although the scenery along the way was beautiful, I was absent-minded. I only found one in the crowded bus on the roof of the car to find me. The space for my big backpack. Maybe its better than this day, or maybe there are more difficulties waiting for me. Unfortunately, I was told that the conditions of the host family were worse than I expected: the furniture in the house was simple, only the bed, the small table and an electric fan that seemed to have been used for many years, no air conditioning. There are no toilets in the bathroom, only a group of screaming mosquitoes and drowning water in the toilet. The bathroom is not sealed and the bugs are free to travel between the gaps in the window. The diet is very monotonous, regardless of whether breakfast or dinner is a constant curry green bean mixed rice, as well as raw onions for health. The room at night was very quiet. I convinced myself that I didnt try to try the bathroom. I didnt take off my pants on the hot night. With the insects outside the window and the snoring of the mosquitoes in my ear, I Try to fall asleep. Everything is difficult at first, and the first night is not so easy. The squeaky electric fan only broke for a while - the power was cut off and the room began to get hot again. At this time, it was less than 10 o'clock. Normally, I only slept at 12 o'clock. Of course, this time was still very clear. The scenes of these two days began to flash in my mind: the hard way, the simple living conditions, the sanitation Conditions of general facilities, very unaccustomed accent, and unknown work, oh right, there are various "small animals" in the house. I started to question myself - why should I come here, why should I spend 2,000 yuan here to suffer crimes, can I eat and drink with my friends? At this moment, I seem to feel desperate, but fortunately, I am sleepy, I fell asleep.
