    If you are looking for a Good night out in Lake-Side, Pokhara then there are now three bars, Club Amsterdam, Bar Paradiso and Busy Bee, my personal recommendation would be the Busy Bee. It's the least expensive of the 3 bars in Pokhara and I think has the Best Atmosphere,Western Style Live Music is performed by a local band every night and can they play !! Friendly Bar Staff, You have a choice of sitting inside or outside, there is a good fire on outside in cooler times, Food available and Don't forget to say Hi to Monique who uses the place as her office for The Hearts and Tears Motorcycle Club.

    I got back into Busy Bee a couple of times on my 2008 trip and pleased to report that it is as Busy as ever ;-)

    If you go to Chitwan on your trip to Nepal, the best possible night time activity you can do is just sit at a campfire and watch the lovely stars at night. If you are lucky like I was, you might be able to convince your hotel guides to serenade you with Nepalese music. The nights in Chitwan with no electricity are so peaceful and remote.

    Yet another of may Old Favourites is “The Maya Pub”
    This is one of the older pubs in Thamel, I have been going there “Occasionally” since 1994 and it has always been popular !!
    Right in the heart of Thamel, Just a couple of doors down from The Kathmandu Guest House and on the same side of the road.
    Drinks are fairly priced and there is a large Selection of Cocktails for the Adventurous ;-)
    There is also a Happy Hour if your budget is a bit tight !!
    Give it a try !!

    Doodles (Forty And A Half Thousand Foot) Bar in Thamel, Kathmandu has walls covered in Everest summiteers signatures, including Sir Edmund Hillary's. They will sell you a book if you want to know the whole history of the bar. The summiteers are allowed to eat and drink here for free for life, so they claim. They also do food.

  • If you Plan visit Casino at night ,you may contact the hotel you are staying in ,if you are staying in 5 star hotel or 3 star hotel ,tell your hotel to provide car or bus for your trip to casino and back at night ,otherwise i will say do not go around at night time in Nepal ,because there is no night life in Nepal , don't go for night walk etc. after 10pm ,nowdays not very safe.

    for tourist half Pant ,T Shirt, Jeans,Cotton Pant,Shirt . or what ever you wish to wear , it's a tourist place .

    The bar at Namche Bazaar claims to be the highest in the world. True or not, just remember alcohol doesn’t help acclimatisation! Depending on the security situation the bar may close at 7pm when there is a curfew in place (most likely at present) so you will have to drop in early. Take a marker pen with you to immortalise yourself on the bar or wall !! The beer is also expensive.

    Have you ever seen the film " Caravan " ( sometimes called Himalaya ) This Really is a Great film, About Tibetan Life but filmed in Nepal and well worth seeing -- Wonderful Story and Amazing scenery !! I know that at least one place in Pokhara shows it every evening and I would think it is possible to see it in Kathmandu too !! Also you can buy in Very cheaply on DVD -- a Smashing Souvenir or Present !!!
    2006 -- I am 100% Sure that the information in this tip is still as good now as when I wrote it in 2004 -- Happy Travels in Nepal -- Rob

    PLEASE visit the Irish Bar when in Kathmandu. The staff are great and if you are lucky enough to visit when the resident band are playing you'll hear some great classic rock music.

    (No Guiness though! But hey, this IS Nepal!!)

    Inside Firefly - Pokhara
    by PierreZA
    We experienced the nightlife of both Kathmandu and Pokhara. I prefered Pokhara, as there were less offers/ harassment to buy drugs or to visit certain clubs.
    A very nice bar in Kathmandu is the Buddha Bar in Thamel. It is a lovely place to relax, have a few drinks and meet some local people. They play good music, and gets very busy during week-ends.
    A great bar in Pokhara is th Firefly. A new bar with live music and good food.
    There are many dancclubs in Nepal, which provides entertainment for foreigners and locals alike. Dancers miming on Bollywood music seems to be the main attraction?
    Restaurants close from 21h00 onwards.
    There are many power cuts, which plays a role in the safety of certain areas at night.
