Best email /Internet outlet in Thamel

by into-thin-air

There are literally 1.000’s of internet outlets in Thamel, some of them have good connections and some of them have Slow connections, some of them have good computers and keyboards and some of them not so good !!Prices also vary Greatly !!So the trick is finding a good one with good computers and keyboards, a good connection and air Price.I have used the same place for the last 8 years and haven’t found better, Prices are 20NPR per hour, Good computers and keyboards and a good connection.Located on the cross street that heads away from Hot Breads / Le Bistro (Same street as The Kathmandu Guesthouse) in the direction of Thamel Chowk and The Royal Palace. On the right hand side towards the end of the street.They also offer a great laundry service which I use when in Kathmandu, a lot cheaper than hotels, reliable too !!

Fishtail Book Shop: Second Hand Books in Pokhara

by poledi

I'd like to recommend Fishtail Book Shop in Pokhara. If you are looking for second hand guides (Lonely Planes, Footprint etc) that;s the best place to go - as they have the most reasonable prices (have checked prices in 3 or 4 other book shops) . Second hand guides.

Tailors' shops: Nepal's own weave - Dhaka cloth

by Saagar

Dhaka cloth is very popular among Nepalis and is traditionally used in folksy women's blouses and shawls and men's caps (topi). The weave is rather intricate and detailed and appears quite on the geometrical side at close range. Color focus is on red, white,green, all in rather subdued colors.Buy by the metre and take home for your own design/fit at the home tailor's or get a garment made in Nepal. Topis are everywhere to be found, but you might find the best selection in Kathmandu's Asan road and it side alleys. A range of prices depending on quality, all affordable. Solicit local assistance when choosing pattern, quality and finding the cost. Normally sol per metre. If asked more than 500 Rs per metre you are being seriously cheated in a regular tailor's shop, but in artsy shops you may be finding something special at that price and above.

Holyland HikingShop (old "Woodlands"): "Repair 2" plus by order sports clothing.

by Saagar

Holy Land produces its own brand sporting goods, sells and buys old and new goods.In addition, they do repairs, and they do it well and inspired.Their business is rooted in a sister trekking company, so thier equipment is tested (on Everest, to, if that is a good enough measure). The quality sign for such shops are seams and zippers. These two things are the first to go. Good thread is apparently the most difficult item to buy cheaply for production in Nepal. This shop's ones are strong enough, thanks to good quality choise of materials and a good workshop with excellent employees. They have never disappointed me. The proprietor is Baden Thulunge Rai. I have bought helmet, Swiss army knives, Leki hiking staffs, bags, fixed my backpacks here and a host of other things. I also brought a sketch of a tent I wanted to have made, and it has been great. They produce according to order, in a...

Nepal is growing good coffee

by Saagar

Nepal is maturing as a coffee grower and it's organic production based on small home plantations has really taken off. The most important places are the hills in the central parts of the country from a bit west of Pokhara to the hills east of Kathmandu. The quality and taste is really good, and you will enjoy good memories of Nepal along with a refreshing good cup of coffee. I do bring coffee home on every trip.Note that when you get coffee served in private homes of roadside stalls it is very weak and taken nearly the same way as tea. You find better coffees at speciality shops in the cities. What to buy is up to the individual buyer's taste and preference, of course, so little is to be said in a general recommendation about this. I prefer medium and dark roast, the common bean is the Arabica, and I prefer to bring the whole beanns, vacuum packed back home. Brands that I have tested...

Banking, money exchangers etc.: Handling money matters in Nepal

by Saagar

Upon landing in Nepal, exchange sufficient money at TIA to get you a taxi into town, a room deposit and a beer, say 50 USD or so. The TIA exchange counter's rate is bad. Once settled in a hotel, go to the nearest exchange counter (not hotel, they add an extra fee as well) and do the main exchange. It is also a good idea to use visa cards at ATMs - that's the absolutely best way to handle money. ATMs are comeing up everywhere in small towns and urban centres. Personally, I always carry a stack of EUR or USD for hard-currency payments (local flights etc), and pay other bills in rupees withdrawn on a visa card. I use one visa bank card and one visa bank card, using mostly the credit card when shopping for safety's sake (you et your money back if things go awry on credit cards, but with a bank card you lay your account open for theft). If you pay services and goods by card, the credit card...

Thamel Photo Shop: Great shop for Cameras and accessories

by into-thin-air

If you are looking for a Good camera shop then look no further than the Thamel Photo Shop. Knowledgeable Friendly Staff, Very Fair prices, a good range of cameras and equipment, camera batteries and film, memory cards and they also provide a quick and efficient passport photo service, All at a very reasonable price.2010 UpdateThe Thamel Photo Shop has now changed location as is now on Thamel Chowk, on the left hand side of the road where it is still narrow before Jyatha and The Kanipath.The location might have changed but the shop is as good as ever and you still get a good deal when buying your photography equipment,I bought a new 2G compact-flash card as well as a 1G memory stick from them and am very happy with both purchases :-)

Yak Mountain: Trekking Gear shop in Kathmandu – Buy or Hire

by into-thin-air

I only discovered this gem of a shop on my 2010 trip to Nepal and it is a real delight if you are looking for Trekking Gear either to Hire or Buy.I used them twice, first of all to hire a sleeping-bag for a friend who was joining me on the Langtang Trek, They sorted her out a great -10 comfort factor Down sleeping bag, it was actually brand new and worked out at less than $1 per day to hire with no extra charge for cleaning.Then when my Girlfriend joined me we went back there and hired out another -10 comfort factor Down sleeping bag and a tekking pole, again both Brand New and only about $1 per day for the two items. Then my G/F lost the trekking pole and they didn't even charge her for it – I don't think you will ever get a better service than that !!The owner Mr.Nursang Sherpa is a great guy and his shop assistant Nawaraj Rai will look after all your requirements very well.If you have...

Thanka Paintings by owner and artist in one person, Sonam Tamang, are, in my opinion, of outstanding quality. Wide range of sizes, colours, themes. Plus, what was very important for me, he explained the meaning and symbols of every Thanka Painting I was interested in. Classical Thanka Painting
