Everest Hotel, Kathmandu

Advantages: culture
Disadvantages: exhaust fumes

...to the Potters Square and walk after that along the main road to the Dattatreya Square (Tachupal Tol), the former center of the town. It is only some meters of walk to the bus to Nargakot (latest Bus 5 p.m.). The ride takes 1 hour and the fare is 10 Rupees.

Everest region (including the Mt. Everest), which disappear after some minutes in the haze of the morning mists.

At the hotel in Kathmandu I was left unclear about my further travelling for a long time, and I had to endure many discussions. The Jet Airways staff was always friendly and seemingly obliging but without making pressure nothing at all happened.

Advantages: cultur, people

The hotels are really cheep (12US$a night including breakfast) and so is the food. Finally I want to let you know that Nepal was one of the greatest countries I have ever visited. On the one hand it´s a third world country and you see it if you have your eyes open on the other hand you would never realize it if you look in the eyes of a nepali ´cause they shine so bright, maybe brighter than some eyes of really rich people in Europe!!...
