Stayed at Everest - Kathmandu, Nepal.

Nepal is still an attractive place to visit. Trackers from all over the world go there and people wanting to get away from the world for a while go there. The Maoists certainly dampens the spirit a bit as trackers have often to pay a sizable fee to continue on their trail. In Kathmandu, there are worthwhile sites to visit. Durbar Square and Swayambhunath were filled with foreign tourists during my visit. On the other hand the National Museum, where stone carvings, paintings an a fairly comprehensive Bhuddism exhibition are found, was frequented by mostly Nepalese visitors. It is certainly worth the 50 Rupees entrance fee. Both the Swayambunath and the National Museum are on the western outskirt of the city. I hired a taxi for three hours and the charge was 600 Rupees - about US$8.50!).

Stayed at Kathmandu Guest House - Kathmandu, Nepal.
|
Did the Annapurna Trek which was fantastic (but make sure you go at the right time of year as the views are the main thing, and out of season it can be cloudy, it can also be dangerous in monsoon time). Went to Pokhara (a good laid back hangout for post-trekking R'n'R). Fish tail lodge is a good place to stay if you want a bit of luxury, but try to book through an agent as it is likely to be much much cheaper - the Pokhara View hotel, owned by the Kathmandu Guest house, can organise rooms here for you.

Stayed at Manang Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal.

Location was very nice to shopping and restaurant. The restaurant in the hotel was very nice. The employee was well lectured. It was like a 4 or 5 stars hotel restaurant.

Kathmandu is a good base for two or three days to see all the sites around it, Patan etc. But after that its time to leave the city, due to health risk, I have never seen such a polluted city, rubbish been dumped everywhere.

Stayed at Yak and Yeti, Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal.
|
Food is not safe in Kathmandu! Make sure you don't try the Thai restaurant right across the Yak & Yeti. Me and my travel partner had serious diarrhea for days after eating there. Kathmandu, however, turned out to be a great place to visit. Immerse yourself in the medieval atmosphere and enjoy the great people there. I highly recommed Nepal to everyone.

Khathmandu is a friendly place. I was visiting a friend so only went to local hotels which I found value for money though sometimes prices offered were jacked up. Recommend all visitors to bargain.

There are some mini supermarkets and shops with tags in Thamel area that will be useful for comparing the price before buying.
