Hello all
Can anybody tell me what is the ebst option to find a plane ticket from Varanasi to Kathmandu? How long does it take?
Thank you
Carlos
When I was in India last year trying to buy an air ticket to Nepal I discovered that I couldn’t book one on the internet as I didn’t have a credit card that was registered in India, The Indian internet booking systems wouldn’t accept a “Foreign” registered card. So as all the travel agents know this they Really UP the commission, this sometimes almost doubling the air-fare quoted on the web.
So, after checking web prices with several airlines, I went to a local office of the one with the one the best fare, However, Even then I didn’t get anything like as good a deal as I would have done on the web, but as I couldn’t see any other option I paid up and Tried to Look Sweet ;-)
Good Luck

Got my visa upon arrival at Katmandu airport. It was easy like a breeze. Just bring enough US Dollars.
From website: http://www.immi.gov.np/touristvisa.php
"Visa fee for visitors who enter Nepal for the first time in a visa year (Jan-Dec):
Single entry 60 days from the date of entry US$ 30 or equivalent convertible foreign currency."
There is a wishing Buddha at the entrance of Swyambhunath Temple. This is the side from where you buy tickets, not the long stairs. The locals along with many others throw coins which has to land at Buddha's feet. You have to make a wish offer prayer to Lord Buddha and then throw the coin in such a manner that it lands at his feet.
Hey I was successful where as Munu & Rakhi could not land their coins at Buddha's feet. If you dont' believe it just do it for fun. It will cost you nothing only a few coins the money goes to Swyambhunath Temple development fund! You are not cheated.
I go here to shop shawls and woolen sweaters, scarves, mufflers etc. for fiends and myself. I was never dissatisfied after coming out of this shop. Good quality pashmina shawls, pure or mixed with silk.
Woolen sweaters and other garments made of fine wool. 100% Pashmina shawl full size 2500-3200 NPR
70/30 pashmina/silk 1800-2800
This is the point, organize a self excurion in Kathmandu valley or jire a car for the whole day?
I could suggest you to hure a car for the whole day, first of all as you can leave or stay longer in a place, following your own wishes, then, if you are mopre then one, the cost is not that bad.
I spent 35USD for a whole day in a Jeep 4x4 and my itinerary included all the main sites in the Valley + Nagarkot...So, a good price!
In Thamel there are a lot of agency but you will get mad on those. The easiest way to organize something like that is to ask for it in your GH, there you can bargain with more quietness the price...easiest and more relaxant!!!!
That’s what I did.
This restaurant on Freak street does a combination of local Nepali fare and traveller orientated western food, and it's very good value. We ate here twice - the cheese pakauda are very good for a light lunch, and they do good breakfasts too. A really nice relaxed place to eat.

Q: How much $$$ is a safe amount to budget for in Kathmandu? "Probably a stupid question (how long is a piece of string) but want to know a ball park figure to budget for if I'm doing the..."
A: "Perhaps it might be a good idea if you inform us how long you intend to stay in Nepal then we can give you an idea of the necessary funding!!!!!!!!!!!"
