There are two in Kathmandu, but the environment and services are not that good, bokhara prices are not the same; one is in Kathmandu 1905 restaurants in THAMEL district on the edge of a very nice big garden, one of the best restaurants, the boss is a woman, very hospitable, our last day there was heavy rain trapped in a restaurant, and the boss and her friends, a very nice afternoon. There's food, Western food is very good, Asian flavor very general, because the first two permanent chef are all European beauty. Other restaurant please refer to LP.

Attractions:

This time, only one week, but lazy, just want to relax, so the only choice in Kathmandu and boccara two places.

Local highway conditions is very poor, very hard, taxi ride mostly Alto, before going to talk about a good price.

Here are a few key locations in Kathmandu, between driving time and price: departure to tourists gather whichever of THAMEL

Airport 20 minutes 400-600R

Kathmandu Palace Square 10 minutes 100R

Bafatan Royal Palace Square, 20 minutes 250R

Monkey Temple 15 minutes 200R

Bard posts 30 minutes

Win na large stupa 20 minutes

(I'm a minibus from Kathmandu to de post, then to the great stupa, and then back to Kathmandu, about half day, 2000R)

Boccara times and prices: the place of departure is the lakeside area

Airport 10 minutes 200R

SARANGKOT 30 minutes 800R (private round trip, and later that allows drivers to wait for too long, the last paid 1000R)

Airport:

The airport is very small, domestic airport was quite a long distance bus station

It almost looks like, the international airport. Only need to remember when you want to leave money on airport taxes, 1695R/person. Domestic flights the airport tax is 170R/person.

Accommodation:

This seven night stay, two different hotels.

In Kathmandu, four nights stay is YAK AND YETI HOTEL (yak and Yeti hotel), known as the best five-star hotel, formerly Prime Minister of the Royal Palace, has a big garden and a small swimming pool, a little Shanghai Jingan hotel, there is also a casino.

The room decoration is traditional style. The best location in Kathmandu DURBAR MARG Palace Avenue, walk to THAMEL also as long as 5 minutes. Contains the surcharge and tax prices are daily US120 (estimation can be cut down around 10 dollars). However, certain requirements in order to face the swimming pool room, the decoration is more delicate, look out for good. Other five-star hotel SOALTEE holiday as Crown CROWN PLAZA, Hyatt, HYATT, DWARIKA ' s so easy without the THAMEL, so do not have to choose.

Boccara recommend going to the fish tail FISHTAIL LODGE hotel, the only good hotel, three stars, the landscape of first-class, price is US65 (also has a five-star RESORT, but the FULBARI is in bokhara perimeter mountain golf hotel).

But FISHTAIL LODGE must be booked in advance. This is temporary not set to, select the LP recommended TREK-O-TEL, has a pretty small garden and the elegant building, I took the room can see snow, especially in the bath, Oh, price, breakfast is US50 is US58.

Traffic:

Local transportation taxi a lot, but the cart path.

Back and forth in Kathmandu and boccara, do not select all of the recommended GREELINE, because the coach to 7 hours.

In fact, the local airlines domestic routes are well developed, especially the best YETI airlines, every 6-7 flights between these two areas, flight time as long as 30 minutes and it's fine to see clear snow, at least compared to SARANGKOT and NAGAKOT can see clearly.

Ticket prices are one-way official, go through the proxy US98 bargain him down.

I get fare prices are: Kathmandu to bokhara US85, US80 bokhara to Kathmandu. There is also a Buddha air BUDDHA AIR, essentially similar, the prices of other airlines will be even cheaper.

Shanghai-Nepal return ticket/expedited visas RMB 15500

Hotel 7 nights US654

Local ticket US330

Dinner/rental/tickets/airport taxes US400

Boccara paragliding US190
