A December 1999 trip to Kathmandu by DrMaximus
Quote: A journey into the Kathmandu Valley is a magical, life changing experience. From the beauty of the surrounding mountain chain, to the ancient wonders at Bhaktupur, Kathmandu has so much to offer!
Overview
The commercial center in Kathmandu is actually a huge area of tiny streets and alleys, lined on both sides with shops and makeshift bazaars, twisting and twining every now and then, with each left turn leading you into another alley which you thought was the one you were on three turns ago.
A must-try! Nepalese "momo's", meat filled dumplings, piping hot from the steamer!! Yummy!
Hotel
But, if like me, you''re working your way through college, and having just spent a thousand bucks on airtickets and another thousand on the trek (which is worth it!) you do not plan on splurging on a bed, then the Moonlight hotel is a good choice. They have nightly special welcome dinners that include entertainment in the form of traditional Nepalese dances. Enjoy the Yeti dance, and stare not into the eyes of the Yeti... be forewarned!!
