Hi there! Wondering if anyone is heading up to Nepal during that period? Will be going mainly for photography and will welcome any interested travel partner.
Always wanted to go here. But...plans go cancel, because parents did not want to travel due to H1N1Hi there! Wondering if anyone is heading up to Nepal during that period? Will be going mainly for photography and will welcome any interested travel partner.

September isnt that wet in Kathmandu or pokhara except occasional short drizzles. I'm going in October and will be there for a week. I have stayed there long enough so feel free to ask any specific questions.
Silk Air might be a good options for cheaper deals.
Other option could be Sin-Delhi-Kathmandu (can be cheaper if you can get promo rates for Delhi)
Excellent choice of destination.
I went last may, conquered Poon hill, magnificent view of the Hiamalaya mountains.
Do smoke weed in Pokhara.
7 days may be slightly short, but anything's possible.
1 day Kathmandu, day sightsee, night Thamel.
6 days Pokhara!!!
Fly Pokhara if you can afford, else, endure the gruelling drive.
Recommended by my friend to engaged the service of www.himalayanglacier.com, located in Thamel, Kathmandu.
I'm John, email for Naba for a suggested itinerary and a quote, no obligations, and if possible, get Raj as your guide.
Raj is prolly the best guide among all my expeditions, excellent command of english.
Namaste!
Tell your parents there are less H1N1 cases in Kathmandu than in Singapore!!!!:bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:Always wanted to go here. But...plans go cancel, because parents did not want to travel due to H1N1

Strange, in my many travels to Cambodia and India where I stayed for weeks, never encountered any thefts personally................in general these countries are safe, don't always believe the media stories as they are exaggeratedTheft & cheating rates are definitely alot lower than Cambodia and India.
There're not as many beggars as compared to the 2 other countries.
Do bring some pens, pencils and sweets for the kids you meet along the way.
Cash-donation is not recommended as you may encourage the kids to not go to school, but beg instead.
Shopping is also alot easier as the prices that the shops quote are actually standard, you may bargain alittle more.
In short, there's no "tourist price."
