At noon, and finally booked to arrive Kathmandu, this is one of the mountains surrounding Plains built city, the traveler are clustered in the Thamel, Kathmandu, here in the hotel, shops, restaurants, a travelers paradise.
Tree told me is located between Tibet and India Kathmandu is a lot of long distance travelers one of the "gas station", because to India and Tibet tourism the two places are very hard, here as a transit point, you can take relaxing, adjust the physical state, Exchange travel information, from Kathmandu, the next stroke can be not so easy.Introduction to the driver, we got a call the Potala hotel, the room was clean, the price is not expensive, Rs300/standard room.
Registration to live, let the driver took us to the path of the last destination------India Embassy because Tree to India visa here to do.Complete the form, pay the fee, so good, that is 5 days after you pick, passport or you can take away, next to the visa stickers to passports.
Back to the Thamel district, to a family of Japan restaurant for lunch, this restaurant is four years came to the Tree, there is no change of layout, or used to be.
The restaurant has many Japanese instruments, Japan visitor write information to this, are the people she wrote some travel tips, the latest information and the like, also some funny graffiti. For long-term traveler, these information this is also a good way to communicate. Here, I found the Embassy of Pakistan in Kathmandu. (I have to do in Nepal and India visa, don't care how good the back if you can get visa in Pakistan, you can leave from the northern Pakistan, back to Xinjiang, the trip can be successful on the land and draw a circle. ）Lunch, call Pakistan Embassy, ask about the Chinese tourist visa for Pakistan, will the other side of the specific confirmation does not require a communication to the Chinese Embassy, you can directly with Passport and two photographs to Embassy visa.
Submit Passport on the same day, the second working day you can get the visa.The next morning, and Tree go Pakistan Embassy (Embassy seems to only 10: 30am-12: 00am Foreign Office), in the lobby and fill the form, hit two Japan boy, I recognize one in Namco station, met, if, as expected.
They came yesterday, today is to get a visa. For a while, a staff member in your table, I see a central person next to the visa fee Rs3500, I so stupid to ask a sentence I want paying? the staff thought, said to me, then you pay 10 dollars. I soon realized that many of this question, but crumbles, had borrowed from the Tree 10 dollars in hand. (Later to get a visa at the Embassy, hit two in Pakistan to do business in China, from them confirming Chinese person is free of charge. After listening to my experience, they all laughed and said he had done for friendship back to contribution. ）Submitted the form, and so after a while, then notify us to the second floor interviews.
Interview with two of the visa officer looks are very friendly, and asked me some, such as why Pakistan Ah, do what you like, and then smile smiling at my table, a stroke of the pen: OK, three month visa (Visa, within three months, a single entry for each entry could stay for 90 days).Things go smoothly, the mood is relaxed, and just now in Pakistan Embassy encounter two Japan boy with four people fight back in Thamel district, had lunch together, talk about a lot of interesting journey and information.
Lunch, and they leave, and then contact the Tree well visited shopping.
Here is the assortment of goods, of great features. If you do not have the next long-haul travel, I'm crazy shopping a, and then with a large package small package trophy home. Even so, the Tree and I also bought several pieces of light is very characteristic of clothes, Nepal and second-hand bookshop bought some, instruments, including a Japanese tourist self-help book series of the Earth's step-party-India "2002-2003 Edition of the book, on India's long journey was a bit much.Dinner in Kathmandu Korea restaurant, is a veritable paradise around food and authentic, and cheap.
I almost drank in such a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.Dinner suddenly remembered a friend asked me to buy a cashmere scarf thing, so after dinner, we went shopping in a wide variety of shops, scarf, shawl, confusing, and finally in a shop to pick two colors, quality were very satisfied with cashmere scarf, deliberately killed to Rs550/article.
The shopkeeper and is in no hurry to sell his goods, but with our chat up everyday matters, he said that these scarves are from his hometown-Srinagar movement, he also export these scarves to Shanghai. I remember in Shanghai's shopping malls see similar cashmere scarf, are seven, $ 800, or even a thousand dollars, here it is very cheap to buy. Tree was on his hometown feeling up interest, capital of Srinager is Kashmir, beautiful scenery, but all the Indo-Pakistan war, there's a heavy blow to the tourism industry. Tree asks how there now, peace? shopkeeper said there is actual control district, India is now very peaceful. This is because the shopkeeper, weTravel plan joined in Srinagar, Kashmir region felt different style, that is way down the line.In order to send the scarf, we find in nearby travel a bit can handle mailing.
Travel agency said the international package very expensive and risky, are likely to fall, so little two scarf, or your own back in the bag back. Think about it, so these two scarf had been lying on my only 25L backpack, oppressed by tightly, accompany me tour the entire journey.Chat room, I noticed that the walls of a beautiful landscape photos, asked where that was, the travel agency told me is Phokara (l).
I asked: easy from Kathmandu past? he said is easy, every morning a travel bus, probably 6 hour trip, they travel agencies can arrange for tickets, asked me to come. I thought about it and said: tomorrow!Tree beside heard almost to jump up.
Prior to that, he has told me to have a good rest in Kathmandu, and so do all visas, go to India. L is the rainy season now, simply do not see the snowy mountains, four years ago, he also went to bokhara at this time, the results for two weeks, it has been raining, saw nothing, hiking plan also made soup. I heard him say this, not on l what's interesting, but here's a photo, I suddenly changed his mind, and he said, with its Tree in Kathmandu time-consuming, it is better to go somewhere else to see, or you can not go, I go back for a day.Finally, the Tree had to give in, so we bought two tickets for tomorrow morning set off any ticket, l (Rs250/person), back to the hotel start suitcases ...

2. India visa: Chinese people directly to the Embassy of India in Kathmandu to apply for a tourist visa more difficult, but many travel agencies may charge d'affaires in Kathmandu, a travel agency to my quote is Rs5800, three-month multiple entry, to ten days or so, interested friends can have a try.
3. Bhutan tourism: Bhutan culture is also part of the Tibetan cultural circle, Bhutan has been locked countries, foreigners are not allowed to travel freely to Bhutan.
It is for this reason, Bhutan is only retained the charm of its own, is well worth a visit. As far as I know, from Nepal, Kathmandu can participate in tours to Bhutan, one-day fee is 200 dollars, usually 4-day tour. Around other countries (China, India, etc.) are not to go to Bhutan tours, Nepal is the only organization to Bhutan travel. Of course, just as I investigated, for informational purposes only.
