Nepal, especially Kathmandu is becoming a sh*t hole. People are very rude and tourists are getting ripped off by everyone. Thamel has become the worst place in the country. People selling synthetics at crazy price as 100% yak wool and Cashmere. Shop keepers selling metal jewelry as silver. Restaurants charging 10% service charge (which is basically tips) plus 20% VAT without telling their customers before hand. No one wants to bargain anymore since Chinese tourists pay heft amounts of money. Tourists are being followed and solicited by beggars, shop keepers. Sometimes it feels like any Indian city. Nepal is starting to slowly lose its identity. I was there a month ago for 3 weeks and it was just horrible to see how people and the place have changed to bad.
