We found one of the now quite rare tuk-tuks left in Kathmandu en route to the Garden of Dreams.

After a couple of hours in the quiet haven of the gardens we felt ready to hit the Thamel shopping area. Noise, people and hard-bargaining for bargains, traffic gridlock (two taxis refusing to give way to each other by a parked taxi, until a policeman came....), hawkers, hard workers, aroma of popcorn and coffee, trekking suppliers, a supermarket......, mad electrickery, jaunty workbenches and so much more all decorated with happy-coloured Buddhist prayer flag bunting.
