About Kathmandu Walking Tour: Hidden Gems & Local Markets

Namaste! I am an experienced trekking and tour guide with more than 7 years of professional guiding experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. I have successfully led trekkers on major routes including Everest Base Camp (EBC), Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), Langtang Valley, Kanchenjunga, and many other classic and remote trekking destinations.

I specialize in providing safe, memorable, and culturally rich experiences for travelers from around the world. Begin your walking tour in Thamel, the lively tourist hub filled with shops, cafés, and narrow streets that reflect the city’s modern energy. From here, head toward Rani Pokhari, the historic Queen’s Pond built in the 17th century, symbolizing royal devotion and traditional architecture.

Nearby, see Durbar High School, Nepal’s first modern school, which represents the introduction of formal education during the Rana period. Next, enter Asan Bazaar, one of the oldest and busiest local markets in Kathmandu. This vibrant area is full of spice stalls, vegetable vendors, temples, and daily life, offering a true local experience.

Hidden within the old city lanes is the Seto Machindranath Temple, sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists and closely linked to traditional festivals. Continue onward to explore Ittum Bahal, a peaceful Buddhist monastery courtyard, followed by visits to Naradevi Temple, dedicated to the powerful goddess Swetakaali, and Taa Bahal, known for its beautiful Newari architecture. The walk offers a scenic view of Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) in the distance before ending at Bijayshori Temple, an ancient and meaningful site near old trade routes.
