I am going to Ktm for about 3 months in Sep. I am NOT from Ktm and don't know much other than what I have heard from others, i.e. Thamel, Durbar Marg, Cassino etc. I wil be there for a work; but I like to make most of it while I am there. I am single, and have been living in England for 20 years. I have missed Nepal and Nepali way of life, you know what I mean, gaf-saf, dohori, sura -suri etc.

If you know some good place to visit and things to do, I would be grateful for your advice. Also I am happy to post you 'light items' i.e. books either from UK or Nepal if you need any. No sukuti, khursaniko achar or gundruk please!

Yours,
Jhamjham Pareli

Do u really need help dude???

Yes, Nirman ji.

Well if this is your first visit ever, or in a long-time, you might want to do the standard tourist platter of Pashupati, Swayabhu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Dhulikehel, Nagarkot .There's also lots to explore around Thamel and Kathmandu city itself. Two restaurants I found pretty amusing were Jatra and Orleans - both in Thamel. I wouldn't be able to give you much advice on dohori and the more traditional entertainment forms - I am not sure Kathmandu has very many good places for that (but others on Sajha might know).

Hope you have a good time in Nepal!

Be sure to post Maobaadi flag as well cuz it appears that it has almost become just another symbol of national identity by now.
