Kathmandou in March by denny1700

Consider Pokhara. The nights are always cool(40's-60's) and summers are tolerable because your house cools down at 3pm. For me, KTM is too crowded and noisey. Cheers🙂 Read More

Nepalese travelling out of Nepal by Kaylee1995
Hi, First time travelling out of Nepal to Singapore. Do the immigration counter in Nepal ask you or check how much cash you have before you get to travel out? I’m travelling on budget.
