The diversity of Asan Bazar is a testament to Kathmandu's cultural richness. Temples and shrines seamlessly blend with the market, adding a spiritual dimension to the bustling commerce. The historic architecture surrounding the market, with its intricate woodwork and timeless charm, provides a backdrop that transports visitors to another era.

While the market exudes authenticity and charm, it's essential to embrace the chaos and surrender to the ebb and flow of the crowd. Haggling is an integral part of the experience, allowing for engaging interactions with local vendors and a chance to bring home unique souvenirs at a reasonable price.

Asan Bazar is not merely a marketplace; it's a microcosm of Kathmandu's vibrant culture. From savoring local delicacies to bargaining for handmade treasures, the market offers a sensory journey that captivates the adventurous spirit.

Asan (Newar: असं, Nepali: असन) (alternative names: Asan Tol असन टोल, Asan Twāh असं त्वाः) is a ceremonial, market and residential square in central Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It is one of the most well-known historical locations in the city and is famed for its bazaar, festival calendar and strategic location. Asan has been described as one of the fine Newar examples of a traditional Asian bazaar. The Tuladhar, Maharjan, Shrestha, Bajracharya and Shakya castes make up most of the population. Six streets converge on Asan giving the square a perpetual bustle. The bazaar at Asan attracts shoppers from all over Kathmandu because of the tremendous variety of merchandise sold here, ranging from foodstuffs, spices and textiles to electronics and bullion. Asan is also one of the popular tourist spots in the city because of its architectural sights and charming ambiance. There are banks, restaurants and a post office. Two taxi stands and bus stops are situated on the eastern side

Asan is the most historically significant market in the entirety of Nepal located at the centre of Kathmandu Valley. It was a trade link connecting India-Tibet trade route for centuries, with the natives of Kathmandu : Newar people being the shopkeepers putting up stalls at the basement of their houses. Even today, it is one of the most popular walking tour sites in Kathmandu for the ambiance & atmosphere of the place, architecture of houses & temples, the narrow streets full of people, and the calm in chaos of the noises of people and honking of vehicles. Traditionally, shoppers from all over the valley were drawn to this very market place for unbeatable price, quality, availability and exclusivity of various products, though the supplies of goods and products have been decentralised in recent decades.
