The Vibe: Imagine Nepal’s most soulful folk band playing a Sarangi solo while a giant statue of a guitar hangs over their heads and a tourist nearby tries to eat a "Legendary Steak Burger" with a fork. It’s the ultimate clash of cultures: one side of the room is feeling the deep, ancestral rhythms of the Newari hills, while the other side is just trying to figure out if the service charge is included in the NPR 1,200 cocktail.

  • The Risk: There is a high probability you will accidentally headbang to a flute solo and spill your drink on someone’s leather jacket.
