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 Other useful information
