But these days, they are replaced by the tourist wearing ‘Gore-Tex’ and who in search of good cafes filled with western music and a good hanging place. Among that crowds in Thamel, with the sellers of ‘tiger balms’, the old and ancient musical instrument ‘sarangi’, to the rickshaw ride, to stay Kathmandu can be an intoxicating and exhausting. The time can be spent just without knowing the valley fully. So in order to give you real insight of what Kathmandu really has, Marron Trek has developed this close-up Kathmandu tour.
