Kathmandu Inns - Reviews and Rates

Gut gelaunt aufgewacht - obwohl ab 5 Schluss mit lustig war. Da ist glaub ich das halbe Hotel abgereist - samt dazugehörigem Wirbel ;-) Aber das lange Schlafen ist ja eh nicht so gesund..

Kurzer Blick ins Mail.... Nachricht von der Ökista ??

....blablabla, bitte setzen sie sich sofort mit Indian Airlines in Verbindung... wir haben...

We arrived at Kathmandu airport to nice, cool air, a welcomed break from the hot, humid, SE Asia weather. We were corralled into a crowded triage area where officials checked travelers for swine flu (asked where they came from, took temperatures, etc.) We got our tourist visas and headed out to the crazy, chaotic outdoors to find a taxi. It was ...

Hello Family and Friends! I made it to Mt. Everest Base Camp! There are no words or pictures to fully describe the beauty of the Himalayas. The mountains are massive. Our hike was 14 days round trip, starting at about 9,500 ft and ascending to about 18,000 ft. Much of the trek was along the ridge of a mountain on small trails so we needed to sta...

We arrived back in Kathmandu for the last time. It's now less than a week until our adventure is over and we come home, but enough about that! We decided to do some more sightseeing around Kathmandu so the next morning we went to Bodnath to see the huge stupa there, the largest in Nepal. Bodnath is the centre of Tibetan faith and culture for tho...

Tuesday, November 6, 2007 Everest Flight / Bhaktapur / Pashupatinath / Boudhanath Dear Readers: Wonderful touring day. The photos will have to tell the tale as I have little time to write. Still battling fever and other ailments. This will be the last entry for over a week, as we are heading into the mountains tomorrow morning. I am leaving my c...

Part 2 to my adventure of today: I went to the airport only to discover that my bag hasnt come in. I have alot of stuff in it that will be costly to replace but I have my head up and keep repeating the Doris Day line "Que sera sera....". I plan on tracking down a Bhutanese restaurant for dinner that was recommended to me by a nurse at the clinic...

Before this trip, I never knew that Nepal was such a popular tourist paradise. We've met many people on their 2nd, 5th, or in one case 13th(!) vacation in Nepal. And now I can see why. Nepal has a bit to offer for almost everybody. It has among world's best unspoiled nature: with the elevation roller-coastering from 100m to >8000m across mere...

Things started off excellently in Kathmandu - we found a great central hotel, and had started to enjoy wandering around the temple filled streets. We were proud of ourselves for surviving the rigours of mountain trek without injury - but forgot that cobbled streets can be just as trechuous as steep mountain slopes, as Mark was to find out as he ...

Stuart the pom escorted us on our long bus ride to Kathmandu but we didn't get off to a very good start. On arrival we tried to get a mini bus into Thamel but not only did the bus boy try to overcharge us, he told us he went to Thamel and he didn't!! Luckily Stuart was there and spotted the mistake. David grabbed our fares back and we eventually...

Not feeling too grand today - I think that I'm coming down with a bit of altitude sickness - headache, nausea etc., but the show must go on! Barbara, one of the volunteers from NZ wasn't feeling up to asending any more so she was sent down to Dingboche with one of the porters. After a good ol' porridge for breakfast we headed on up to Gorshep wh...
