Events in Jhamsikhel, Kathmandu

The valley's after-work cocktail and brunch district.

Jhamsikhel — locally shortened to Jhamel — is Lalitpur's smartest stretch of restaurants, cocktail bars, and weekend brunches. It pulls a slightly older, design-forward crowd than Thamel, with a steady rotation of pop-ups, supper clubs, and food festivals running through the year.
