Here we have a collection of streetart pieces from the Thamel district in Kathmandu. These include graphic murals, sceneries, characters or calligraphy, which is often found here in beautiful, intricate detail. Traditional wall paintings depicting gods and cultural themes are also a common sight in the alleys, and schools and kindergartens frequently feature painted facades. Especially the unfortunately now defunct collective ART LAB carried out several projects here, as did a number of foreign artists passing through. Also the SATTYA MEDIA ARTS COLLECTIVE created one of its works here as part of the KOLOR KATHMANDU project. We have a lot of photos from this neighbourhood, so we’ve divided them into categories. Check as well the pages for the Thamel district featuring Tags & Signatures, Throw-Ups & Bombings, Graffiti Letters & Stylewriting and the Amrit Marg Collaboration Wall.

„Beautiful Nepal“ – ASEK




„Dhading“ – Kolor Kathmandu (25) – COLLEEN STEWART

Colleen’s mural for Dhading district depicts the story behind the honey hunters of Nepal. Honey hunting is the ancient technique of harvesting honey from bees nesting on cliff sides. Hunters work as a team to maximize efficiency: one man dangles from a ladder and harvests honey with a stick while the others hold up a collection basket with a pulley. All must work together – the solo hunter with the stick and the hunters working the pulley – to gain access to the honey. Once harvested, they eat, share, and barter with the sweet stuff.

The tradition, passed down for generations, has been dying out in recent years. With bright yellow honeycombs including a community of honey hunters below, painted on a mundane wall of Nyokha, Colleen cleverly incorporates the dangling wires of the area into her art to make it come alive. “I wanted to depict this incredible and brave practice before it disappears,” Colleen says.

This artwork is part (39) of the awesome series KOLOR KATHMANDU, which consists of 75 murals made throughout the cities of Kathmandu and Lalitpur representing the 75 districts of the country. The fantastic project initiated by the SATTYA MEDIA ARTS COLLECTIVE took part in 2013 and at this time the country had 75 districts, after 2015 with an updated constitution there are now 77 districts. This wall painting shows the artwork for the district Dhading.
