Itinerary
Day 1
Meet in Thamel then walk through Chittadhar Marg toward the ancient Asan & Indrachowk markets for breakfast tastings and temple visits.
Meeting point: Purple Haze Rock Bar (Paryatan Marg)
Gather at the scheduled start time. Quick introductions, safety briefing and overview of the route. Tour departs promptly to avoid daytime traffic and crowds.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early at Purple Haze Rock Bar on Paryatan Marg so the group can start on time.
- Keep a small amount of local cash (small notes/coins) handy for vendor tastings; many morning stalls are cash-only.
- This meeting point is in Thamel; secure backpacks and valuables during the walk and keep phones ready for photos.
Walk through Thamel alleys with breakfast tastings (Chittadhar Marg area)
Guided walking route through early-morning Thamel alleys toward Chittadhar Marg. Stop at several local breakfast vendors and small eateries where morning-only dishes are served. Short visits at each stop to sample 2–3 small items per person; guide explains ingredients and local context.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes—streets may be uneven and slightly damp in the morning.
- Bottled water, coffee and tea are excluded from the tour; bring a reusable water bottle if you need more than the included tastings.
- If you have food allergies, tell the guide before tastings so they can avoid or point out relevant vendors.
Temples, shrines and Asan/Indrachowk market exploration
Enter the historic Asan and Indrachowk market lanes to visit temples and shrines. Learn local morning rituals and, if you wish, take part in simple activities like feeding birds, lighting butter lamps, or making small offerings. Continue through market stalls sampling additional morning specialties and observing daily trade.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress modestly for temple visits: shoulders and knees covered; remove shoes before entering inner temple areas when required.
- If you want to join in rituals, bring small change or be prepared to purchase simple offerings from nearby stalls—ask the guide for guidance.
- Note that narrow market lanes can be busy; keep the group together and follow the guide through courtyards and alleys.
