Shopping in Nepal
Nepal is a good place to shop for fine handicrafts including intricate jewelry, traditional hand-woven fabrics, carpets, metal, and woodwork items, and of course, the ubiquitous range of quirky kitschy touristy souvenirs peddled at the roadside in tourist destinations the world over. The best thing about Kathmandu is its local markets where you can buy anything at a reasonable price. Hand-knotted pashmina shawls, woolen carpets, woolen knitwear, jewelry, embroidery, woodcarvings, ceramics Thankaa paintings, metalwork, woodcarvings, stationary, rice paper, and pottery are sold by marketers. Not only this but your fetish for the traditional antique statues, paintings, and handicrafts will also be fulfilled once you shop in the local markets inside the city.
New Road, Durbar Square(Basantapur) area, Thamel, Freak Street, Makhan Tole, Ason, and Indrachowk are major local markets in K-town. In recent years, Kathmandu has been experiencing the advent of the mall culture, and visitors can now choose from a number of well-stocked malls selling all manner of international brands from Canon showrooms to Levi’s stores.
