Nepal Nightlife Tips by into-thin-air Top 5 Page for this destination

The Reggae Bar: Great Ambiance ;-)

Brand New for 2008, This is a Very Popular bar, right in the heart of Thamel, Live music most nights, good band, just don’t expect to much Reggae Music – I think they just picked the name out of a hat ;-)
Never-the-Less it is a great place to go, have a drink (or 6) and listen to some music
Prices are fair, a bit more than average but when you take the music into consideration it is ok.

Give it a try !!

Directions: Same street as the Kathmandu Guesthouse, Same side of the road and about 30 yards below (Towards Durbar Square)

Busy Bee: Best of the Three

If you are looking for a Good night out in Lake-Side, Pokhara then there are now three bars, Club Amsterdam, Bar Paradiso and Busy Bee, my personal recommendation would be the Busy Bee. It's the least expensive of the 3 bars in Pokhara and I think has the Best Atmosphere,Western Style Live Music is performed by a local band every night and can they play !! Friendly Bar Staff, You have a choice of sitting inside or outside, there is a good fire on outside in cooler times, Food available and Don't forget to say Hi to Monique who uses the place as her office for The Hearts and Tears Motorcycle Club.

I got back into Busy Bee a couple of times on my 2008 trip and pleased to report that it is as Busy as ever ;-)

Address: Main Steet, Lake-Side

“The Maya Pub”: Right in the heart of Thamel

Yet another of may Old Favourites is “The Maya Pub”
This is one of the older pubs in Thamel, I have been going there “Occasionally” since 1994 and it has always been popular !!
Right in the heart of Thamel, Just a couple of doors down from The Kathmandu Guest House and on the same side of the road.
Drinks are fairly priced and there is a large Selection of Cocktails for the Adventurous ;-)
There is also a Happy Hour if your budget is a bit tight !!
Give it a try !!

Have you ever seen the film " Caravan " ???

Have you ever seen the film " Caravan " ( sometimes called Himalaya ) This Really is a Great film, About Tibetan Life but filmed in Nepal and well worth seeing -- Wonderful Story and Amazing scenery !! I know that at least one place in Pokhara shows it every evening and I would think it is possible to see it in Kathmandu too !! Also you can buy in Very cheaply on DVD -- a Smashing Souvenir or Present !!!
2006 -- I am 100% Sure that the information in this tip is still as good now as when I wrote it in 2004 -- Happy Travels in Nepal -- Rob

It Doesn't Matter -- It's the Company that Counts: The Last Night Out

When the Last Night of the trip comes, What better thing to do than to have a meal and a few drinks with all those friends that you met "On The Road" -- That's Exactly what I did this last trip, pictured here from the left, Myself, Nirmal and his children then his wife (My Good Nepali Friend who look after me ever so well Every time that I go to Nepal) Marion, Matt, Urska and last but not least Val.
