The land of Hindu animal sacrifices. Nepalis lead their offering to the slaughter tenderly, often whispering prayers in the animal’s ears and sprinkling its heads with water to help it shrug its assent. It is an amazing insight into their culture, if not a bit bloody.

While you are in the area, also visit the Buddhist monastery and Hindu temples. The locals are incredibly friendly. There are also a few hotels, if you stay overnight you can hear the beautiful sounds of chanting and large horns coming from the monastery. It is far more relaxed than Thamel.

You can take the tourist bus or just get a taxi. The action takes place on Saturday mornings from 6am, unless there is a Hindu festival, in which case the sacrifices happen all week.

Fancy a fluffy night? Go to one of these bars from 10pm and see the drag divas doing their stuff with costumes more spectacular than Cher, wigs bigger than Sir Elton John and dance routines more excitable than Steps on speed. Hulu Cafe is fun for all the family.

A place to drink or dine for friends of Dorothy and their friends too. Each table has a phone and a number, see a boy or two you like? Use the 'hotline' and give them a buzz. The bar is very fun and not cruisey at all, my straight friends love it more than me.
