Kathmandu Bazaar Walking Tour

Description

One cannot really understand the roots and history of a place by just touring the monuments and tourist spots. They have to go inside their normal lives to get a taste of the real culture and tradition of the place to understand it better. One can be in great confusion as to what place it should be where they could get introduced to the culture along with having fun.

In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, one such place is the Kathmandu Bazaar. A stroll down the lane of the highly enthusiastic market is the perfect point where fun and learning can be combined. The walking tour is the idea for a deeper experience.

Kathmandu has many markets, Asan Tole and Indra Chowk being the most popular and biggest ones. The idea is to experience the beauty of the city from within. The colorful streets with charming natives might give you the exact idea of the working of the place. The markets have all kinds of shops from small to huge ones varying with their specialties be it textile, jewelry, food or anything else.

Taking a stroll around the streets of the bazaar will introduce you to the true culture and nature of the people. The kinds of articles being on sale might help you to know the kind of trends in the city, as well as little chit chat with the local vendors, which will gain you a deeper insight into the working of the entire bazaar.

The walk down the lanes will help you to take a look at the different kinds of houses built in the place, the food that the people of the city prefer there and the normal daily lives of the locals there. Newari style buildings are really a common sight and a part of Nepali culture. You can introduce yourself to the Nepali cuisine through street foods.

The cows walking down the roads of the bazaar just like normal people will help you see the way the cows are treated there. The entire walk will bring you to some tourist sites as well like the Annapurna Ajima Temples and the Aksh Bhairab Shine.

The populated bazaars are not only a place to sell or buy items but a peek inside the lives of the locals, their cultures, their traditions and their beliefs. If you are planning to visit Kathmandu, the bazaar walking tour might be the perfect thing to spend an evening.
