Market hopping

Market areas (more popular as bazaars) constitute a significant part of Kathmandu’s day to day life. They are also significant from a traveller’s point of view. The traditional market places in the city are not new establishments; they are rather old and vintage. You will get anything and everything in them, from colorful shawls to the local spices, beautiful Thanka painting and dancing dolls! Main city bazaars like Ason and Mangal bazaar are two of the best places to collect souvenir for your living room. If you have some good bargain skills, shopping on the streets of Kathmandu is a fun as well as deal breaking experience.
