text: Kathmandu's Durbar Square is picturesque and historic, and to reach it from Thamel you'll explore some colorful and lively alleyways en route. All of the guidebooks will have this down as a must-see, and they aren't wrong. However, what I would add is that you should leave yourself plenty of time to walk here. This way, you can check out some of the side streets, where you'll find little shops selling everything from Western clothes and colorful Saris to pots and pans, baked goods, coffee, and, of course, tea.
