In the midst of the commotion and cacophony of Kathmandu lie two places that feature the great dichotomy of Nepal: The Garden of Dreams and the famous Thamel Shopping District. With your personal guide, navigate the narrow streets and shops to find the finest of bargains, and then relaxing in the quietness of the Garden of Dreams. Thamel is the mecca of shopping adventure. Its narrow streets are filled with people, rickshaws and activity. Musicians provide live entertainment as you walk from shop to shop. The narrow alleyways are filled with delightful shops that feature amazing jewelry, pashmina, rare books and food from around the world. Then there is the Garden of Dreams. A beautiful, English garden with reflecting ponds, statues and hidden alcoves that is alive with colorful flowers. It was designed almost 100 years ago by one of the Ranas whose family ruled Nepal for just over 104 years.

If you want a quiet space to relax, read a book, and enjoy a garden in the middle of Kathmandu, then this is your trip. Our guide Rabina met us promptly at our hotel, guided us through the hectic (and I'm from NYC) traffic of Kathmandu to arrive in this serene place. She is a local young lady from Kathmandu who provided us with a nice afternoon at the garden plus a bit of shopping in Thamel.
