A short walk from Thamel is Asan Bazaar - a vibrant and crowded area where the locals shop. Here you can find a variety of products from food, spice, clothing to electronics. Like most part of Kathmandu, the traffic in the area is crazy especially at the intersection where 5 different roads meet. It’s important to note that vendors here only take cash and often they do not have small change for big notes. Another thing - beware of friendly locals who will try to scam you by asking you to buy food for their family then lead you to a grocery store with inflated prices. When you encounter them, just walk away and don’t engage further.

Spent just a few minutes here yet it's memorable... the old buildings surrounded by newly constructed ones... I really love the craftsmanship of the old wooden buildings. You can buy at reasonable price.

An interesting local bazaar in Kathmandu where there are many shops selling all sorts of local products, handicraft, food, tea, coffee, spices. One can experience the local vibes and atmosphere of a busy Nepalese city here. Worth a visit. Be careful of the bikes and cars mostly with impatient drivers as all the streets are rather narrow.

A small market categorised in all goods and services. The way can be quite confusing due to same designing of the shops. The quality of the goods depends on the shops and price range you offer in this place but it is most commonly known for clothes items. Crowdy due to smaller area and many infrastructure but worth it for shopping.

Even though it is raining when we are roaming around the bazaar, we still enjoy it! The place are so colourful and vibrant. We bought a lot of beautiful souvenirs to support locals. It is our last day when we went and I feel so happy that we walk through out until we arrive at our hotel.

Asan bazar is a largest and famous bazar in Kathmandu

Very lovely place to shopping for the other 'world' style. Many choices, need to survey first, compare the price & bargain. Yes it's already cheap but you still can have more cheapest 😆😆
