Timeline
10:00
Arrive at the Taragaon Museum right when it opens. The compound of the former Hyatt Regency Kathmandu offers a calm introduction to the cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, documenting the contributions of foreign artists and anthropologists in the second half of the 20th century.
10:30
Walk 14 minutes to Kar.ma Coffee @ HUB. As Nepal's first Coffee Boutique, this spot offers single-origin coffee and teas in a setting dedicated to the concept of coffee. It is a perfect place to pause and recharge after the museum.
11:00
Continue your walk to Rum Doodle for a late lunch or early dinner. This spot serves excellent food at modest prices, including wood-fired pizza. You can enjoy the meal in a relaxed atmosphere, often accompanied by live music on most nights.
Local tip
