Tour Operators

by amolk_2210

It's a good idea to check with at least a couple of tour operators before fixing a vehicle to move around in Kathmandu. I would recommend the use of an AC vehicle at least during the month of May, as it gets pretty hot. However one may not need an AC vehicle if you are planning to visit Nagarkot, as it's quite pleasant there.It's surprisingly quite expensive travelling in Nepal. We ended up spending Rs. 8000.00 (INR) for hiring a vehicle for 2 days ( 7 Hrs. per day). Maybe it was because of the political instability in the region, with strikes being declared any time by the local political parties, that we were over charged. But it is always better to check with a few tour operators and strongly negotiate with them. The rate includes the guide services, entrance tickets to touristy points. Just confirm if the guide covers all the points. They took us to Patan Darbar Square (for e.g) but...

Problems with Qatar Airways - 18 Days no Luggage

by axelebert

German Version Probleme mit Qatar AirwaysSometimes Travelers get attracted by the little cheaper air fare and flight time and think about choosing Qatar Airways to take them to Nepal. If you depend on your schedule or luggage you should consider alternatives.I had 2 flights, and on both reconfirmed travelers had to stay on the ground because of heavy overbooking. 1 passenger was offered to be flown to FRA instead of ZRH, but from there he should arrange on his own.We were 18 days without trekking equipment and there was no Qatar Airways support or compensation whatsoever to allow continuation of our trekking plan, except 100 USD on the departure day after a huge administrative effort. In fact airlines can choose themselves how to treat delay and even loss of luggage. Further compensation was declined. "Please be assured the offer is fair, reasonable, and in compliance with Qatar Airways...

How do I get from India to Nepal overland ??

by into-thin-air

The most comfortable way of getting from India to Nepal overland is a train / Bus comboTake a train to Gorakhpur. Then take a bus or jeep from Gorakhpur to the Nepalese frontier at (Indian side) Sunauli/Bhairawa (Nepalese side, but also often called Sunauli). Journey time about 3 hours.Walk across the frontier, it's then a few minutes walk to the Bhairawa bus station. Take a bus to either Pokhara or Kathmandu

Getting to the trail heads – Besisahar for AC

by into-thin-air

One of the most popular trailheads is Besisahar for starting the Annapurna Circuit.You also have several other options for getting here from Kathmandu, the cheapest is by local bus, I did this in 1995 and it was an experience, it took about 12 hours and was very uncomfortable as well as being slow. A much better option is to catch the Pokhara tourist bus as far as Dumre and then change here for the local bus up to Besisahar, 2008 prices are 300NPR for the tourist bus + around 100 / 150NPR (Depending on the luggage charge) for the local bus, so only around a 100 /150NPR more expensive than taking the local bus all the way from Kathmandu.Local busses leave very early, around 5.30Tourist busses leave around 7 from Kantipath In the main season you can catch a Microbus direct from Kathmandu to Besisahar, Enquire at any of the Thamel travel agents for details and current pricesFinally, you can...

Nepal by Bus...

by mamtap

The most ordinary type of traveling from place to place inside Nepal is by bus. Being a mountainous country, straight roads and highways are few in Nepal. There are three types of bus services: "Tourist bus", “Micro bus” and "Public bus". Tourist bus, run by private bus companies or travel agencies, are little bit costly than the public buses. However, they are more comfortable, faster and less crowded than public buses( no goats, ducks etc). "Greenline" is the most reliable company and has trips between Kathmndu, Chitwan, Lumbini and Pokhara. You can get tickets at any travel agencies at Thamel in Kathmandu. In Pokhara and Chitwan, just ask your hotel to book one. It is a good idea to buy your ticket a day in advance and reserve a seat. The benefits of taking a bus to any of your destination is, you will get the chance to see different parts of Nepal that you would be missing while...

Local Bus

by Robmj

You need to experience a local bus in Nepal once in your life, but make it only once in your life.Great fun, buses full of colour and jam packed full of people, produce, the odd livestock, people riding on the roof (and this is possibly the safest place for a quick exit!), people sitting in the aisle, people hanging out the door, people on your knee, all over the drivers area, of course the driver will be yelling to everyone on the road, talking on the cell phone and sometimes keeping an eye on the road with one hand on the wheel.As you go around incredibly steep or rough mountainous roads, you'll be wondering why you didn't climb on the roof so you can jump when needed. The longer trips never seem to end and the toilet stops are usually an open air affair for all on the side of the road.Often the local bus won't leave until its full or near full (although once you get going there always...

Fly Kingfisher Airlines

by lalikes

We took Fly Kingfisher Airlines from Delhi to Kathmandu. Thought it was odd the airline was named after a beer but the service was great and as an anxious flyer in general, it was a good experience. They even served a good meal even though the flight was 1 hour and 40 minutes. I would highly recommend this airline and I chose them because they had good reviews so I concur.I don't think their phone numbers work unless you are in the area.
