Kathmandu Travel Tips
Kathmandu travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
- These are some of the poorest and yet most content people I have met. It is a place visually rich in color, texture and faces. Be generous when you tip. They have nothing and your money will be spent on vitals. Their money is worth nothing - for example you can buy a beautiful hand knit wool … • Tam W.
- Okay, I'm sorry this may not seem relevant. But if you ever need a bathroom, good food, or protection GO TO THE AMERICAN EMBASSY!! They have a tennis court, a swimming pool, a full gym and who knows what else. From one traveler to another, this may be the most important traveling fact you learn!! • Paloma R.
- This is an honest-to-God tip for Kathmandu. If you are staying in Thamel (as most do) treat yourself someday to a Pizza and a few beers at Fire Ice. It is not only the best Pizza you'll get in Nepal, it is as good as I have eaten ANYWHERE in the world. A real gem, using only fresh ingredients … • Joe B.
