For the people at Kathmandu we all know Thamel is the party hub of the city…

From live music, concert to clubbing, this place has it all.

We can even say Thamel is more alive at the night time than it is in the afternoon. But the life of the party was affected badly when the Nepali government announced a lockdown due to the coronavirus that went on for many months!

While there was no certainty when the lockdown will end, businesses in Thamel were affected badly. 

The place where everyone came to the party was quiet and dead!If you talk to the local shop owners they will tell you a story one will have a hard time believing. 

Some of the shopkeepers said, “During the lockdown Thamel was so quiet that walking alone at the road was scary. The streets were so dead that the stray dogs will try to bite the person they see on the road.”

There are so many businesses that rely on the nightlife in Thamel. 

While it was a big taboo going out at night a few years back, now it is a trend everyone follows. But how are things now, since the lockdown has been lifted and things are going slowly back to normal. 

How are the clubs doing? Talking to different club owners in Thamel about how the nightlife is doing right now after the pandemic, they said everyone was frustrated to have stayed inside their home for a long time.
