‘Like residents of Kathmandu’ NYT Mini Crossword difficulty rating

Being an Indian, the answer came to me at a lightning pace after I read Kathmandu. However, if you don’t stay in Asia, Nepal is mainly famous for the tallest mountain range in the world in the Himalayas, featuring the likes of Mt. Everest and K2.
