Best areas to explore the nightlife in Nepal

Most Nepalis come from an agrarian background, which means that they’re the type that sleeps early and rises early too. Most tourist hubs in Nepal are trekking spots and cultural hubs but don’t be deterred. There are a few places in the country which boast of a thriving nightlife, and this is where you can go if you’re a night owl!

Thamel

This area of Kathmandu is the best place for nightclubs and pubs in the entire country. From swanky bars, thriving discotheques and karaoke bars, Thamel has it all. Durbar Marg is a street in Kathmandu where many Shisha bars, pool clubs and pubs are situated too. Thamel is also quite lenient when it comes to noise laws, which means that you can party well up to 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM.

Jhamel

Jhamel is located in Patan and has many bars that have live music stalls and great alcohol. It is a affordable option when compared to Thamel or Pokhara.

Pokhara

Pokhara is a gorgeous place which offers tourists amazing options to rest and rejuvenate. One can rest by the charming Lakeside Pokhara and make maximum use of the many pubs and bars around the area as well. We love!

Casinos

Nepal has become a crowd favourite for gambling, as the casinos offer a brilliant line-up of games and gambles. The action-packed atriums of these casinos are filled with the promise of wealth and riches, and is the gambler’s paradise!

This means that you can make merry all night long in these casinos, and flirt with Lady Luck in games like the slot machines, blackjack, flush, poker, roulette, baccarat and others. You can buy chips with US dollars or Indian rupees. Remember to take your passport to the casinos, as locals are not allowed to enter. Keep in mind that you have to purchase chips worth INR 1000 to enter. Here are the best Kathmandu casinos that you can’t miss!
