Events in Thamel, Kathmandu
Kathmandu's nightlife and live-music heart.
Thamel is the busiest pocket of Kathmandu after dark — narrow alleys lined with live-music bars, late-night clubs, rooftop lounges, and street-food stalls. It's where most touring acts, jam nights, and DJ sets land, and where you'll find something happening every single night of the week.
