Most people’s visit to Nepal consists either a trip down to Chitwan National Park or a hiking trip near Pokhara. Chitwan National Park is famous for country’s animals namely tigers and rhinos, and it is scarily cheap to visit.
We were a group of 5 and we spent 5 days for trekking Poon Hill from 1st to 5th of Jan, 2015.
The Total Expense
Each of us spent $20.42 per day. Or $102.1 for the total trip per person from Pokhara (Nepal).
If you are not particularly fit, then plan for a 5-day trekking in Poon Hill. Our actual itinerary (anti clockwise) is Day 1 Nayapul-Birethanti-Sauli Bazar- Kimche-Ghandruk Day 2 Ghandruk- Bhasikarka- Tadapani Day 3 Tadapani-Bethanti-Deurali Day 4...
Riding a bike is a fun thing to do in Pokhara. The rental fee is only Rs.200 a day (for a basic mountain bike). While paragliding is a really popular thing to do (around $110 per flight, I think), riding a bike is a much more affordable activity.
My Innocent Brother’s Mistake
When I opened my brother’s passport, I couldn’t believe what I saw.
“Your Indian visa will expire on 2nd of July. Didn’t you say 27th of July?”
The city is being rebuilt.
3 months after the earthquakes, many people still slept in tents. Many were still displaced. But Nepali people have not become cynical. They are still smiling, and trying to make lives back on track.
The answer is yes, but…. You will need to talk to the ground staff and insist you don’t have (or can’t get) Indian visa. And you will have to emphasize that you cannot go through the immigration. Then maybe, if you have luggage...
It is actually quite easy to apply Indian visa from Nepal, and even if you have foreign passports you can also be granted Indian visa in Nepal and not only from your home country.
