This is my experience:
got the online DS-160 from US itself.
Went to Nepal - paid the required fees and got the date. ( within 2-3 days)
Appeared for the interview ( stand in H1B line :-) ).

Interviewer :

    Where do you work ?
    Whats your day to day responsibility?
    Whats your salary?
    Are you single ?
    How long are you going to be here ?


Thats it. It was quite simple and straight.

Suggestion: Once you get your H1B stamping the other day, please get a Department of Labor approval letter. Its mandatory otherwise you will have problem while returning back to USA.

Process/Suggestion:

    FInd Departtment of Labor office (बैदेशिक रोजगार प्रमांड  पत्र). Its nearby tin kuney, Kathmandu.
    Getting Department of labor approval is a tedious and slow processing task. Dont expect too much. However, be patient. Dont loose your control. There will be a volunteer booth inside the office premises. Ask as many question as you have there itself.
    There will be broker/dalal who are willing to help you expedite your process from the moment you park your car/bike.
    Its better if you know someone or do it yourself or get help from dalals.
    I did it on my own and it took around 5-6 hours. #shithappens
    Cost of the whole process: Insurance, fees ~ 3000 ( not quite sure about the fees. Please have enough money
