🇮🇳 Mumbai
Namaste
Kathmandu's Thamel neighbourhood is tourist-central but the real soul of the city is in the Newari old town around Asan Chowk and Indra Chowk. Walk north from Durbar Square at dawn when the vegetable sellers set up and the temples come alive with puja smoke and devotees.
Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood — rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu Fun Fact
Kathmandu sits in a valley that was, geologically, an ancient lake — the Kathmandu Lake drained roughly 10,000 years ago. The city is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites within just 15 km of each other, including the living goddess (Kumari) whose incarnations have been venerated since the 17th century.
🇮🇳 Mumbai Fun Fact
Mumbai's Dharavi is one of the most productive slums in the world, generating over $1 billion annually.
