Nepal travel the latest practical information

Out prior to travel, online at many Alice travels and tips, very useful. In this bribe also say I 2010 13 March to 2 April in Nepal travel experience and the latest information, hope to want to mix some help.

1, on the Exchange, currency: If you land in Nepal, the best in the wood of the heat exchanger.

Now, the RMB exchange currency exchange banknotes larvae that camphor can wrap to 1-11, if a hotel directly on the wood of the Exchange, you can wrap to 11.2. In Kathmandu, generally 10.5 for up to wrap to 10.7. USD changed in Canada is very easy, if 71 100 dollars above you can wrap to 72. Of course the daily rate is slightly different, do not look at the shop door price, direct and he talks about it.

2, taxi: from the Tamil area to the airport the day 200 rupees, evening 300 rupees, 100 rupee will be able to airport is gone, now Kathmandu prices more than two years ago.

A taxi from the monkey temple to Tamil in around 150 rupees. In Nepal's 21 days I played four cars, and one from the National Museum to the monkey Temple, close to 20 rupees. But also met trouble, from the National Museum of play car and taxi driver said good 20 rupees, but in the monkey temple he cheat not 20 rupees, is 200 rupees, but fortunately there is a Hong Kong people pointing me to encounter this situation, you just put that money to throw it to the driver, and then direct to get off on it, I'm so free.

3, on the bus: in the Tamil areas near a place called Jamal (Asan road), there are many buses go to all the famous attractions and with the surrounding tourist attractions on foot in 15 minutes.

Take the local bus, super cheap, to Bardon (Boudha) as long as 20 rupees, Pamela Tan 13 rupees, to Bhaktapur 18 rupees (to Bhaktapur car CITY BUS near JAMAL PARK sitting). Not only can save money and experience the local way of life, very interesting. Just to Bardon's Super crowded bus person, I had a back to the people in the door of the experience, and somewhat dangerous but very exciting. In bokhara also bus to the Lake District (LAKE SIDE), get off at the tourist bus, walk a little road can sit, 20 rupees, heard a taxi in 150 rupees. Similarly, in the Lake District you can travel by bus to the city's OLD BAZZAR shopping. If you want to have the same l hiking bus to NAYAPUL, my journey is in Hubin district taxi to BAGLUM BUS STATION (200 rupees), and the bus station has been NAYAPUL car, 150 rupees, 2 hours by car. It is said that from the lakeside area, taxi to at least 1500 rupees NAYAPUL, this is the price for 2008. Nepal is warm, so don't worry about getting lost, I'm terrible at finding directions to go by bus, and many of Nepal's enthusiasm for the way.

4, on the tourist bus: from Canada to bokhara and peculiar Mong travel buses are available in the hotel or travel agent in the booking, the condition is also good, my take is adding to RS. 450, l, l 350 rupees into strange, strange-want-want to add are 400 rupees.

I think that there is no need to sit on GREEN LINE, of course didn't have money to spend in the Office. In addition all the GONGABU BUS STATION there are also many local cars, mostly around the TATA cars, I asked all from Canada to bokhara is 325 rupees, but it seems there is no bus to Tamil GONGABU 40 minutes on foot to the taxi heard to 150 rupees, so it is better to sit in the Tamil JYATHA road near the departure of the tour bus. (Specific road name forgot, but went from JYATHA as long as 10 minutes. The shopkeeper will tell you how to get past. ) In addition, local coach seems less secure, I returned from NAYAPUL bokhara road witnessed a car accident, thoroughly dispel sat coach, lucky also regret it. A mix can also try the following.

5, on the hotel: both plus are either exotic or boccara, you never have to worry about accommodation issues, but the differences in price.

In addition, I lived in the most expensive is Chengdu hotels 700 rupees, cheapest a DREAM HOUSE HOTEL400 rupees, NORLING, TALA OM 500 rupee 500 rupees (from Chengdu hotel is very near), more live are standard rooms. One of the most clean is a HOUSE, but OM NORLING TALA 401 room there is a SHARP color TV, you can receive many international channels, including CCTV9 and Tibet TV, so I'm still quite like this hotel. In bokhara accommodation cheaper, I live in is the online reputation of better BLUE HEAVEN, offer 10 dollars, when I told him I am Chinese come, he will give you the price of RS. 500. Hotel with a garden, rooms with a balcony, TV, I feel really good. Strange Mong accommodation is expensive, the same 500 rupee room, and there are differences compared to l. And I'm the most expensive in this row also in the case of Bhaktapur, hotel little, here are the prices and so no better than. I live by the GOLDEN GATE GH is local cheap, even room to 700 rupees, ordinary room also to 350 rupees. Of course, to the NA widened-accommodation, more expensive, have dozens of u.s. dollars a night, people that selling is the scenery of money. Commendable that Nepal most hotel occupancy is not accepting money costs, all costs including dining charges are hung on the account, along with billing, very reliable, it is warm. However I live in the first days of Chengdu hotel is in addition to 12years, also subject to a deposit of 300 rupees, it is open to guests of the hotel, and is akin to the National Guard. But there are free of Chengdu hotel, porridge for breakfast with bread, the pipe full.

6, on foot:

In bokhara many would choose hiking. My BLUE HEAVEN booked ABC 7 day itinerary, request a beifu 650 rupee a day, do not eat to live, the package beifu eat live themselves, but the next day he gave me was a wizard, with money, this is the estimated price. Later and Wizard acquainted, he told me BLUE HEAVEN is paid to him, if direct 475 rupees to find him, so long as to 550 rupee he is enough. He called the mobile phone is 00979846269158 RAMI. This guy English good, go to 17 countries that want to practice English you can find him, but the single girl or careful, RAMI drink drink will move your limbs on the girls, in addition to his physical strength was poor mountain, always want to rest, always falls behind me. Seven days on foot after I gave 1000 rupees a tip that should be the same, but some don't. In fact, when I'll regret on foot, Wizard, ABC is very mature lines, many Western tourists with the LP of the TREKKING IN NEPAL, plus a map set, no please Wizard, many visitors and is the East, the wizard also please beifu, if physical good really didn't need. Accommodation is generally 100 rupees a night, whether in the ABC, GHANDRUK or is the price, of course, is sharing the bathroom. In the mountains on foot to the biggest expense is to eat, even this tradition and DAL BHAAT simple food but also in GHANDRUK, 250 rupees to ABC is 400 rupees. Water is also very expensive, ABC a liter of drinking water to 100 rupees. In order to save money, I am in the above areas are BAMBOO drink the spring water, selected after the kind of rock, fairly clean, but not the runs, in the following areas or to buy BAMBOO water, because animals.

Dinner: 7, plus all of the Tamil area and the Lake District, l is a gourmet's paradise, brings together national cuisine, but also do it.

The price is higher than in domestic food is cheap. For example in bokhara famous NEW EVEREST eat steak as long as 300 rupees, the pipe full. But on the whole Nepal beef is not tasty, water beef. Or try something else. For example, in the capital of India restaurant THIRD EYE point half only rancid chicken (TANDOORI) as long as 300 rupees, plus a 100 rupees by NAAN and 60 rupees a cup of MASALA TEA (sugar taste very good), a person eats more than adequate, and very delicious. Including THIRD EYE Thailand restaurant next to the YINGYANG, two people will spend around 1500 rupees, eat very well. In short, in Nepal, if a person, 500 rupees should be in the mid-range restaurant to eat well. If you travel outside of the local hotel, you can only eat 100 rupees, the following general points a CHOWMEIN or MOMO or fried rice. But low-grade restaurant serving slow, I had to wait a DAL BHAAT and spent an hour, and there was nobody around. But it's your hurry, this is Nepal living habits, what is leisurely, a good fit for you. By the way, most restaurants will cost time plus 10% to 13% service charge.

8, with regard to shopping: to locals place shopping than in scenic or alien colony shopping cheap, but the foreigner will always be smaller than their people to spend more money.

In bokhara I bus to OLD BAZZAR shopping, where to sell clothing and jewelry, I asked a beautiful Sari price, can open up the price of RS. 5000, if in the lakeside area is even more expensive. In a House called despatin NAMASTE supermarket, shopping comparison is complete, you can consider some tea and tobacco juice anything, much more expensive than the Tamil area things slightly cheaper. Can't figure out is the price of biscuit in a supermarket is very expensive, Basic does not have a package below $ 10, but the quality looks and domestic 4, $ 5 for a package. Strange Mong of fresh milk super good to drink, as long as 40 rupees a bag, but with all the 100 rupees a box of milk taste is very general. In the Tamil region, the southernmost JP SCHOOL road home dew crafts Guinness shop (AMRITA CRAFT COLLECTION) is well worth a visit (attention is on the second floor), the LP was recommended on the Tamil region the same items are not cheaper than here. Unfortunately there is no buy PASHIMINA. The following recommended two I felt pretty good and also bought in shops, are all in the Tamil region. COTTAGE ARTS, opposite the HOTEL, franchised PASHIMINA MANDAP, shopkeeper is an old man, very kind, the price will not be very far, General PASHIMINA around 2000 rupees, or even lower, estimated to offer about 20%. RIZVI, BROTHERS, franchised lacquerware lacquer surface are quite nice, but there were some crudely, sent to us may not sell, buy back as a decorative or worthwhile, this offer is ruthless boss, I bought a vase, offer 2000 rupees, also to RS. 1100 This vase is good just fine in is made of wood, but as long as you don't touch, from which direction looks no different with porcelain, absolutely.

On air: 9, 20 days in advance I in Chengdu Hotel bought China Eastern Airlines to Kunming from Canada are turning to Shanghai ticket is one-way taxes 388 u.s. dollars, more than any other ask travel cheap, other tour operators offer General in 395 to $ 400, didn't know what the Phoenix hotel price (but still haven't found Phoenix hotel).

Now as long as the tax vote, just do not have to pay the airport departure tax.

10, Nepal and Nepal: Kathmandu mess worse, there is no public toilets, no trash can, the air is always very turbid, now we need to take to the streets.

But security is good, in Nepal travel 21 days had not met the thief. Although a little positive election, social unrest, but tourists are quiteSecurity. Warm kindness is Nepal's greatest features. On the way met countless enthusiastic help me the way people of Nepal. And the Chinese people are very friendly. In Bhaktapur, Chinese passport, original against foreigners 750 rupees tickets Chinese as long as 50 rupees. In addition, du bus Plaza in the ticket, when I say I am a Chinese, a man passion that Chinese people free of charge. Although still to spend 300 rupees to come in here, but this he listened to the Sultan. Nepal's visitors are trust, as stated in the Hotel do not have to pay a dime, likewise, I rent a bike, bokhara without paying the deposit, see passport, as long as he wrote in the book name and residential hotels (they could not be verified also no enquiries) will be able to bike, I feel like a gentleman's country. Maybe in this environment the visitors also embarrassed to live up to their trust, this is a virtuous circle. Of course, Nepal also have bad side. Kids and you, in all likelihood to ask of you candy or rupiah. Meet some beggars pestering you for money, if not to say would be with you for some distance. Even in Tamil met an old woman beggar, cable money success plugging at his door does not let the tourists away. While these acts extreme beggar is not very much, but it also affects the reputation of Nepal. Nepal people while poverty, but life happily. Just like my Wizard RAMI, earn 500 rupee a day, but play the 17 countries. Nepal was very dirty, but the scenery is very good, Nepal were poor, but warm and kind.
