This 2 km long open market is famous for its low cost shoes. Everyone will find what they are looking for and in principle their size, even if the very large sizes are very rare! Ladies, if you like glitter and rhinestones, you will be served. Gentlemen, for you, the latest sneakers in their Indian style and city models in imitation leather, sometimes convincing. Also clothing and lingerie stores. As in other markets, there are stands selling snacks and pastries at low prices.

Thamel's breakfast must-have. Every morning, travelers (mostly Westerners) gather here to savor a succulent assortment of toast, eggs in all their forms, cereals, fresh fruit juices or sandwiches, all comfortably installed in the pleasant garden. But Pumpernickel Bakery serves sweet and savoury treats to gourmets at any time of day. A fine selection of teas, espresso coffee and cold drinks. A great place to take an invigorating break in Thamel.

François, the owner of the shop, has succeeded in combining French know-how and his love of Nepal around the... cheese! In love with this country, he decided to set up a farm and today he has a variety of cheeses made from yak milk to be discovered in a multitude of establishments. Hard and soft cheeses, all mixed with local herbs... François' cheeses can be found at the Sherpa Restaurant market on Saturday from 8am to noon, and at the Yellow House market on Sunday morning.
