hello!
i just got back from nepal and i went through HK. You DONT need a transit visa.. but yes if you want to get out of the airport for shopping or visiting than you DO need a visitor visa. I had applied for visitor visa at the chinese embassy in my state. It took me 50 dollars and about 3 weeks to get it. you have to apply with the ticket and your bank statement and a letter to HK immigration to grant you visitor visa. However, there are chances you might be rejected.
Other option would be to spend time in HK airport.. it is one of the best airports i've seen (i used to travel through heathrow.. it SUCKED!!) they have nice restaurants and shopping areas and free internet so its easy to spend time.
Hope this helps..
Good luck!
