Hey Guys! What’s up!! Planning to visit Nepal any time sooner…!! How do you want to travel Nepal?
Don’t get confused! Nepal is a developing country you won’t get all your luxury that you may imagine back in your country….. But don’t be upset as the country has lots of exciting life time memory waiting for you. Since the level of facilities and infrastructure is very much unbalanced the way you travel will be there accordingly.
Whenever you plan to visit the country your level of fun and adventure varies depending on your interest and intention to travel.
Basically many people have very little idea about Nepal, Many people come up with surprising questions about Nepal, like once I was asked If Nepal had any International airports? Or does it have its airlines? Are there five star Hotels etc. believe me reply is not very exciting. Yes of course there is an International Airport but be prepared to be very less demanding there. When I was once landing to the one and only International airport in Kathmandu one of the nervous British Tourist stood from her seat and asked where the city and airport was? Before landing all the international plane has to go through the remote hills and you feel as if you are landing on some hill tops and you don’t see the city nor any residence around ……. landing in Kathmandu is one of the toughest job for the pilots in the region. There is one saying “no pilots are perfect until they land in Kathmandu” but due to advance technologies many things have become easier these days. Nepalese authorities are trying to do better in terms of airport service and facilities but don’t expect much once you are there.
In case of Nepalese airlines they are doing well but has extremely limited international flight however number of other international service is overwhelming. Qatar airlines and Thai airlines are among reliable airlines providing their services. Nepalese airlines has very limited International service. Lucky are those who get Nepalese airlines. (In terms of service and Price) However honestly I have not yet preferred my own Nepalese airlines till date.
In case of hotels there are enough Hotels in the capital and in major cities, they are available in highly reasonable price. Well online booking is there in five star hotels however that trend is not much in general hotels. So take the opportunity to email and make your bargain. You can even do that in five Star hotels. You must have booking in advance in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Mountains and Trekking Routs. Hill Station Such as Dhulikhel and Nagarkot are also fully booked during weekends.
Low tourist traffic areas can always give you good rooms starting from $15 to $ 25 per night. Well you can start getting room as low as $5 per night but don’t really recommend them unless you are a backpacking tourists. If you pay $50 dollar per night in Pokhara you must get five star standard rooms even in Normal Hotels. Take a tour to be sure with the standard of room and the price that you are paying for match up if you are a walk in customer. It’s good to be careful in advance rather than having a bad feeling afterwards.
