When we talk about Nightlife in Kathmandu, then one word strikes our mind. That is Thamel. Obviously, Thamel is one of the most favorite tourist places due to which this town is awake the whole night while the entire city is in a deep sleep. Thamel is only the best place in Kathmandu where you can really feel the nightlife of the city. There are so many pubs, restaurants, cafes, bars, dance clubs, hotels, and travel agencies at every step of Thamel. It is almost crowded the whole day, mostly by the tourist and the local people.

Thamel

thamel, kathmandu

While Kathmandu is preparing to sleep, Thamel starts to wake up with music, dance parties, and rock bands. You can listen to music, enjoy the dance parties in a disco, get drinks in restaurants & bars and go to the clubs. If you are a beer lover, you must be very careful about the beer rate because the price of beer in the Thamel areas is relatively high. There are so many dance parties organized every night in most of the clubs of Thamel where you can shake your body with the flow of music.
If you are a music lover, you can listen to the different types of music, whether jazz or rock, performed by local bands and some famous brands. Some tourists even spend their time going to casinos which can be an excellent option for enjoying the nightlife in Kathmandu. However, Nepalese are not allowed to go to casinos. Besides Thamel, Patan, which is just 5-6 km away, is another good place for nightlife.
