One way public transportation (tampoo, bus, micro) would cost one person 15 - 20 bucks. Most part it is 15. Kalanki to Lagankhel is 17 where as Lagankhel to Ratnapark is 15. It would cost you easy 600 bucks for a family of 3 to make a trip to a simple restaurant and all you order is 3 plates of momo and have 3 soft drinks.  (100 x 3 + 50 x 3 = 450 plus 10% service tax and tips (I usually leave few bucks)). Other than that, most of the stuffs as as expensive as any other major cities including NYC. Try Himalayan Java and ask for a modest cup of Americano and it's almost the same as what they charge you outside Manhattan in NYC.
