5 Fun Places in Kathmandu You Must Try This Weekend

Weekends are the time to take a break and relax but not all weekends need to be wasted feeling as if you have not been doing anything productive. If you want to have a good time and turn a new page in your life, here I present to you 5 fun places in Kathmandu that you must try this weekend:

#1 FARMER’S MARKET AT LE SHERPA AND THE YELLOW HOUSE

The farmer’s market is a haven for locally produced items, from vegetables, pastries, cheese to local/international food items. Both the locations have a well-maintained restaurant. You can join the weekly brunch, organized every week on Saturday at Le Sherpa in Maharajgunj and on Sunday at The Yellow House in Sanepa. A great way to start your lazy weekend morning.

P.S.: It’s totally kid and dog-friendly

#2 HOUSE OF PALETTES AT EVOKE

Ever wanted to feel artsy but thought you had no talent? Best place for you this weekend is the House of Palettes at Evoke Café & Bistro at Jhamsikhel. One can spend hours here painting, guided by local artists, while also enjoy food and drink in the studio. A perfect and artistic way to spend your Saturday!

#3 ROCK CLIMBING AT ASTREK CLIMBING WALL

But if you are looking for something more outgoing. You can go straight to the Astrek Climbing Wall, Thamel. A perfect stop for those who always wanted to climb/hike through mountains and basecamps but never could make time. It has the highest climbing wall in Nepal, and you can hire the equipment at the facility for that daredevil-weekend, along with some food and drinks on the premises.

#4 DISCOVERY COURSE AT THE BEST ARCHERY

However, if you are looking for something completely out-of-the-box, The Best Archery is the place to be on your weekends. It’s the first indoor archery range in Kathmandu, perfect for those looking for a new hobby or go-to sports. They provide an hour-long discover course that will help you shoot and practice. If you happen to like it, join the courses for their monthly packages situated in Naxal or Jhamsikhel.

#5 LIVE JAZZ AT JAZZ UPSTAIRS

Either you spend the weekend busy or decide to be lazy, it’s always a good idea end the night with some good music. Jazz Upstairs is located on Radisson Road and has one of the best ambiances for a jazz bar. Every Saturday and Wednesday, a Jazz band performs live from 8 pm onwards. I’ll say it’s definitely a place-to-be for a musical night, where you can enjoy their delicious food and cheap drinks.
