Fun and entertainment Bodnath

Just a 10-minute walk from the Bodnath stupa, this cool new neighborhood is bursting with good places to eat. The Ramsterdam Café is one of them, particularly good for a lunch break after or before visiting the stupa in the small courtyard, or in the evening, when small groups of local musicians liven up the café's bar-like atmosphere. The atmosphere is always lively. We love the bohemian setting, with a wall of old-fashioned CDs and a mismatched decorative bric-a-brac brightened up with green plants. A roots address for meeting new people.

Three addresses coexist in close proximity to each other: Uptala Café, Kar.ma Coffee and The Hub, three trendy café addresses that are a must-try. Uptala Café has a super-cute space, with a courtyard adorned with greenery, and offers a fairly classic menu that's 100% vegan and well-executed. You can enjoy dishes à la carte (Indian, Nepalese, Italian, burgers, breakfasts, Asian, etc.), or as a buffet. An economical option that allows you to sample several dishes in a very relaxed and calm atmosphere.

Bodnath, which has become quite trendy, has a number of nice new addresses. Like Kar.ma Coffee, which also exists in Patan, and roasts its own coffee grown in the highlands of Nepal by around 800 families living on farms. A well-thought-out concept that emphasizes its social and fair-trade commitment, while offering a very pleasant setting. Some 32 artisans are also involved in this concept store: stationery, ceramics, coffee-based beauty products, lamps, mango wood utensils, etc.). Concerts are organized here in the evenings.
