Explore the shops to discover the exquisite works of local artisans – carpets and paper prints are specialties.”
And, when you're ready to unwind after a day of sightseeing, you can do so at Fusion Bar in Dwarika Hotela place loved by Travel + Leisure Top-rated travel advisor Niall Causer, from Audley Travel.
“There are so many great bars across the Indian subcontinent. For me and many of my clients, Fusion Bar in Dwarika Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal, is one of my all-time favorites,” Causer previously shared with T+L. “This former hotel curator's cottage has been transformed into a wonderful place to relax serving world-class cocktails, local beers and Nepalese snacks such as momosor meatballs. A great place to relax on a hot day by the pool, (unwind) after a long flight, or share travel stories after an exciting journey through the Himalayas.
