Thamel in Kathmandu is a bit of a tourist trap, something I try and avoid when travelling so I bypassed the crowds by sticking to the backstreets. I stumbled across a little corner store on a narrow alley that sells everything from yaks milk cheese to chai... I went with the chai. In the end I can't avoid the crowds so I jumped up on a rickshaw to kickback and enjoy the sights and sounds of Thamel...
