Meet your guide at your hotel and head to Ason Bazaar, one of Kathmandu’s oldest market squares. Begin a guided walk through its dynamic commercial lanes. Experience the sensory immersion of local vendors, spice stalls, brassware shops, and traditional Newari marketplaces.
Continue navigating the atmospheric alleys leading towards Thamel. Pass by Shree Gha (also known as Kazi Hiti), a historic Buddhist shrine tucked inside a courtyard, and explore the growing bustle as you approach Thamel. Your guide will highlight important cultural points, hidden temples, and key architectural elements along the way.
Enter the Garden of Dreams, a restored neo-classical haven in the heart of the city. The contrast of tranquility after the busy streets offers a welcome pause. Enjoy a peaceful walk around the garden's paved pathways, reflection pools, pavilions, and manicured landscapes as the evening lighting transforms the ambiance.
Settle in for a refined dining experience at the Kaiser Café, located within the garden complex. The elegant setting and curated menu make this a highlight of the evening. After dinner, your guide and driver will drop you back at your hotel.
