A friend of mine is visiting Nepal after 9 years. We recently got into this conversation about how expensive kathmandu has got. He still thinks he can get by with a $1000 - 1200 dollars. I have tried to convince him otherwise but since I have not been to Nepal in more than five years, I am having a hard time convincing him.

Do the Sajhaites mind sharing their thoughts about how much money would be required for a  1 month, (nothing way over the top or extravagant) ?
