Lounge & Nightclubs
Though night clubs that open up till late are limited in Nepal, clubbing is still a fun experience. The night clubs in Kathmandu start to buzz after 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. In the Lake city of Pokhara, the clubs start as early as 7:30 or 8:00 in the evening.
However due to the law of the land, only a few night clubs stay open after midnight. Though it varies with different clubs, most always have a dance floor with drinks only allowed in the bar and lounge areas.
Club parties are safe as bouncers stand by to ensure smooth operations within. Cops are on night vigil on the streets to ensure security.
On weekends, day clubbing is also not unusual among young high school/college going crowds as organizers throw parties in these same venues that are open to all but mostly attend by youngsters. The tickets are comparatively very low priced for day time events.

Cultural Folk Dance and Music
Thamel is famous for restaurants with folk songs, dances and traditional cuisines.
Nepali classical music has its origins in the Rig Veda. Later, the metrical chanting of its hymns found its expression in the songs of Sama Veda. Since then classical music has been a part of the Nepali music sphere. The tradition of playing classical music has been handed down from generation to generation.
There is evidence in the form of ancient stone statues indicating that Nepali music was alive even before the time of the Kiranti and Licchavi dynasties. 7th century inscriptions show the existence of a well-organized musical team (ensemble) even during that era. There are many musical instruments mostly made from local resources.
