Hotels in Kathmandu - Prices and Reviews

Returning to Kathmandu is starting to feel a bit like returning home. I wrote this in my journal while standing on a street corner during one of Kathmandu's nightly power outages on my first night back in the city. I was surprised by how passionate I was feeling about the city and how happy I was to be there.



I like Kathmandu.

It probably should have occurred to me that if there was a school strike yesterday, it may mean that I would not have to work today at the school. I thought it was only high school though. Guess not.

Though it seems daunting, I've decided to go exploring instead. I should be able to find the Buddhist monastery that I have heard about not ...

Perusmeininki Kathmandussa alkaa hieman hahmottua ja tuntuu et pystyy jo hieman rentoutumaan suurkaupungin meininkiin. Eilen kaytiin apinatemppelissa (n.2 kilsaa Thamelista), mika sijaitsee melko korkealla maella aika sairaan monen askelman paassa kaupungin ylapuolella. Muuten eilen vaan hengattin ytimessa ja kaytiin viela kysymassa lentolippuja...

Many years ago, after a sleepy-Tibetan village buried away in the Himalayas was blanketed with snow, a monk went for a stroll. And in the far distance, the monk spotted a giant and furry man-like creature with snow compacted into his thick-and-stringy hair. The monk, being inquisitive in nature, decided to investigate and attempted to approach t...

Heute haben wir unseren ersten schoenen und absolut interessanten Tag in Kathmandu erlebt. Es scheint so, als ob man sich nach 2 Tagen so langsam ein bisschen an die Regeln der Stadt gewoehnt hat. Man schafft es im alltaeglichen Wahnsinn des Strassenverkehrs zu ueberleben und man lernt mit dem Flow der Verkehrsrowdies zu schwimmen und ab und zu ...

Sunday began as one of the trip's most hectic days. Though I filed the Interpol report on Thursday, I was told to come back at 11am Sunday to pick my copy of it up. My head was throbbing a bit from some sinus irritation (which has since morphed into a bout of the common cold), making the quest a bit miserable. After arriving at Interpol, I was t...

I: Well, well... back to the Indian subcontinent, but first visiting the little brother, Nepal. Our whole idea of visiting Nepal started when we met Peter from Slovakia who had done some trekking here for a few weeks. So I can say that I half forced Palo to come to Nepal - he just wanted to go back to India. But I convinced him that it's definit...

The kids have gotten all their needed shots except for the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, a rare but incurable mosquito-borne disease that is becoming a worsening problem around these parts. Climate change might be triggering annoying heat waves back home, but it's causing catastrophes over here (whole villages getting washed away by melting gla...

Back in Kathmandu, having survived the treks to the Annapurna foothills and the Everest region. I did manage to move into Thamel the day after writing my last entry. Joined my group on the 25th. We are a small group, only 4. Kiri, my roommate is from British Columbia, works at a winery, Alex is originally from Belarus but now lives in NYC doing ...

From Johannesburg we flew to Kathmandu, Nepal and arrived just in time to enjoy the New Years celebrations which was an awesome experience. It was colder than we anticipated and having arrived from hot and sunny South Africa we ended up wearing all our layers that night in an attempt to keep warm. We headed to Thamel, the busy central part of Ka...
