you might just want to do it for fun. It's a comfortable cap and
an elegant one to wear. You can buy Nepali topi easily from Asan
or Indrachowk or just tell the reception desk you want one, your
hotel shop would also have some.

You should get one in your hotel, just ask for ordinary Nepali
tea. The tea is made by boling the mixture of water, milk, tea and
sugar. Some prefer to add small quantities of ginger powder. This
tea is often referred to as the masala (mixture) tea, which
has an unique aroma and flavor.
77. Chakrapath:
Take a cab and go circle the Chakrapath road, and find out why it's called Chakrapath! Well, you don't
need to do it to learn but just do it to have fun. This is the
road that marks the two important cities in the Valley, Kathmandu
and Patan. The road actually circles the entire valley, and hence
the name Chakrapath (circle road). If you are visiting many places
in Kathmandu, you might prefer to hire a cab ($10 to $13) for the
whole day.
78. Devi's Fall:
A lovely waterfall
lying on the Siddhartha highway, 2 km south-west of the Pokhara
airport, is dedicated Devin's and David's who were washed by the
Pardi Khola and mysteriously disappeared down into an secretive
passage beneath the fall. Visit this place, locally known as the
Patale Chhango (Hell's Fall)

Stroll around Gorkha
Bazaar located below the palace, for fine architecture and cobbled
lanes. Walk up the stairs to the Gorkha palace, the ancient seat
of the Shah dynasty, view lush green valleys and the vista of
Himalayas and beyond from there.

Visit Dharan, a bustling bazaar that is growing rapidly. Make your ways
to Dhankuta for good views, a mild climate and plenty of
interesting walks in the surrounding area including tea gardens in
the region. Go up 13 kilometers north of Dhankuta Bazaar for
panorama of the major peaks of the eastern Himalaya including Mt.
Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Kumbhakarna.
