NEPAL
Money
& Cost
Your money goes a long way in Nepal. Off the tourist routes, it
can actually be hard to spend US$5/£3 a day, however willing
you might be to pay more. On the other hand, Kathmandu and some
of the other tourist traps can burn a hole in your pocket rather
faster than you might have expected in the Third World. The cost
of seeing Nepal, then, depends in large part on the proportion
of time you spend on and off the beaten track.
While even in the capital it's still possible for a budget traveller
to keep to US$8/£5 a day, the figure can effortlessly balloon
to $20/£13 or more simply by trading up to slightly nicer
hotels and restaurants. If you like to travel in greater luxury,
you should expect to spend $40 or more per day, depending mainly
on standard of accommodation.
