In fact, next month, I am going to do the same again. But instead of visiting the temples, this time I am going to shop!!!!! :-D Seriously, there are so many things to buy in Nepal. Last time I regretted that I didn't shop enough. When I got home, I wish shopped more!

I believe the official cab costs about $6 to the city. Hotel costs about $20 - In my case, I just need a place to store my luggage and take a shower. These facilities are not available at KTM airport. Lastly, fill out the visa application and print it out beforehand. It will save you a lot of time cause arrival at KTM can be chaotic.

Safe travel!
