Sign in to savealt=|thumb|Garden of Dreams Thamel () is a commercial neighborhood located in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The name comes from Tha Bahi (थ: बहि), indicating its root origin to have come from the Newa community, the indigenous people of Kathmandu Valley.

It is considered the hotspot for tourism inside the Kathmandu valley.
