After Sightseeing Free Time for Shopping at Thamel

In the early days, Thamel was nothing much but thick forests, few horses, and uneven pathways located at the edge of the capital Katmandu, the in habitats rarely saw foreign visitors. It was only when tourists began to arrive in Nepal in the 1970s, did the area experience a gradual change. Forest were cut down, new houses were built on farmlands, and roads were constructed. Slowly, local people started to open up various enterprises that catered to the needs of tourist. One by one, shops selling trekking gear, souvenirs, and fashionable clothing opened up and in no time at all, the once "sleepy" town turned into a comercial center packed with people, shops, and hotels.
