While you are waiting for meaningful answers, I suggest that you re-phrase your question so that your expectations could be met. What kind of agencies have you in mind. > "tile" <supertile@libero.it> kirjoitti > viestissä:48b55e7f$0$18147$4fafbaef@reader3.news.tin.it...

What > kind of agencies have you in mind. an Agency that could offer 7 days in Bhutan ( I understand it is possible to go to Bhutan only paying 150 dollars a day per person.. for hotels plus plus plus) 14 days in nepal visiting the most important monuments. >> "tile" <supertile@libero.it> kirjoitti >> viestissä:48b55e7f$0$18147$4fafbaef@reader3.news.tin.it...

There is also a surcharge for groups under 3 people. For 2 people traveling together they charge $30 per day per person.

It might be cheaper to organize something in Kathmandu.

(Bring a torch; there isn't much electricity). The Thamel backpacker area should have appalled me; instead I found it fascinating. The city is quite walkable - I stayed in the Shangri-La (not related to the luxury chain) which is close to the centre. The taxi drivers are utter, utter thieves if you pick them up on the street; at the hotel the doormen would threaten not to call them anymore if they cheated me and then asked me how much I paid when I returned. The Old City is remarkable (I'm an architecture fan, but not terribly interested in the underlying religious symbolism). The mediaeval city of Patan is definitely worth a visit - just get a taxi from Kathmandu or hop on a bus. That's pretty much all I saw in my long weekend but I do plan to go back soon and see Bhaktapur - the other mediaeval city near Kathmandu - and more outlying areas. The local cuisine is sensational, although it helps if you like Indian food - and meat - a bit. "Buff" is essentially beef, supposedly from bufflaoes thus non-sacred. I don't know how to get there from Europe: I flew 9W BLR-CCU then IC CCU-KTM. QR flies there from DOH if that's any help. Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore Thank you very much. I will revert to you in case of need I am not the backpacker type either.. Like to sleep well and eat decently having lost 15 months of my life in the Army for National Service. I think I had enough of sleeping badly and eating slop. Yes there are two of us. 165 dollars per day per person in Bhutan is kind of a high price to pay. but for a week I can survive. thank you >>> On Aug 27, 9:20 pm, "grusl" <grusl@hotma_nospam_il.usual> wrote: >>>> "tile" <supert...@libero.it> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] > George W Russell > Bangalore > Thank you very much. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > of a high price to pay. but for a week I can survive. > thank you My Kathmandu restaurant recommendations are Tukche (Thakali cuisine), Durbar Marg, and Gurung's Cafe, G/F Sukra Building, Opp. Thamel House Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore >> and the cheapest way to reach Nepal from Europe ( germany/Holland and so >> on ) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > flew 9W BLR-CCU then IC CCU-KTM.

Amsterdam--->Istanbul will cost you peanuts with Corendon.
