It is estimated that more than 150,000 rural women and girl children are trafficked to Indian brothels and cities alone for commercial sex.Though prostitution is illegal in Nepal, thousand of prostitutes work in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. There are a number of massage parlor in Thamel, a tourist area of Kathmandu, where sex for money is easily available. Girls can be easily picked up from dance bars in Kathmandu but clients must fix the rate before he takes out the girl.
