Thamel Quotes

“Thamel"

A narrative written by Avijeet Das

The feelings of Paarijat linger as an epiphany
and the smoke and aroma of incense sticks welcome you into a dream land.

Myriad Thanka paintings splash colors in your eyes and the melodious chants of the Buddhist monks add tranquility to your heart.

Cafes and restaurants mushroom here all the year round as does the grass in the valley around Kathmandu.

While drifting in these lanes of Thamel, you feel like Alice in Wonderland, discovering the magic of hand crafted wooden sculptures, pashminas and yak wool shawls.

And meeting foreign tourists from all around the world, smiling and greeting you a "Namaste" will serenade you with the fragrance
of Nepal, intoxicating one and all!”
