Kathmandu may not be a Paris or a Singapore when it comes to go nuts over a shopping day out; but this does not mean that there is nothing in the city to carry back home as souvenirs and mementoes. The best takeaways from Kathmandu are shawls, tea, Nepali caps, khukri, thangka, paubha, handicrafts items, beads, gems, jewellery and trekking gear. The best places to explore shops and get the best of deals are the local market areas. Places like Thamel, New Road, Freak Street and Makhan Tole will uncover a new world of shopping in front of you.
