Try Your Luck At The Casinos In Kathmandu

The land of mountain adventures in the Himalayas, colourful temples and ancient monasteries, wild national parks – Nepal is truly a delight for all kinds of travellers. Whether you’re looking for thrills or divine intervention, this tiny country has it all. But if the roll of the dice and the ring of the slot machine are more your kind of thing, head to the capital city of Kathmandu and try your luck at the many casinos in the city.

 

Enjoy Gambling, Night or Day

Not quite at par with famous gambling towns such as Las Vegas, Macau and Monte Carlo, Kathmandu is quite the gambling centre in this part of the world. A lot of people travel to Nepal for its natural beauty and spiritual pursuits. But an equal number also arrive in the Himalayan country for a shot at quick money at one of the casinos in the capital. The best part is that all casinos are open 24 hours! Most casinos also arrange for free pick-up services from the airport or from the hotel where you are staying. You don’t have to worry if you’re a novice or not quite sure how to play a particular game; the courteous dealers at the casinos will guide you and provide some basic training.

 

Casino Hopping

Casino Shangri-La is one of the more famous casinos in Kathmandu. The management of the casino has been recently taken over by a Malaysian team who bring with them all their expertise to give you a memorable experience. Elegantly appointed cosy gaming rooms, free-flowing drinks, gourmet food and high stake games make this casino an exciting place to be at. Try your hand at blackjack or poker; or does the roulette table take your fancy? Invitation-only VIP gaming rooms are also available. If you want the high-rolling lifestyle of James Bond, try Casino Royale at the 5-star Hotel Yak and Yeti. The hotel is located in Lal Durbar, a historical palace with an old-world charm. True to its name, expect royal treatment in an international ambience. Complimentary food and drink and a host of games make this a popular casino.
