You can't go home without dropping by Freak Street, one of the top tourist hangouts. There's something to keep everyone happy here.

Freak Street is an interesting place to start out your day in Kathmandu. This tourist precinct is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other attractions like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square to make the most of what the area has to offer.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (190 reviews)

This place is an oasis at the center of buzzing Kathmandu. Close proximity to the airport is a bonus. You can of course stay at the western chains but if you wish to immerse yourself in Nepalese culture while having the perks of a 4/5 star hotel, this is the place to be. Don’t forget to dine at the excellent Nepalese restaurant.
