Amazing mitra, let me do as if i am trying to help u out, not sure if i can though. First, Feb-March is still very chiso in those places nii, but ya compared to Scanda, u will find it warmer and nice. Definitely your trip is worth making, and those countries u mentioned are great to visit. Hmm,, how long u plan to move around in Europe. If u plan to move a lot, then u might check the price with Eurolines, thats the bus service, and i think they still have such offers like flat rate for 15 days trip or a month trip etc. But i also must say my experience dates back 3-5 years and so things might have changed a bit for now. But, train is also not that expensive. U gotta experience TGV from Brussels-Paris-Brussels, and thats a great train to take. Good places to visit around would be: Koln, Berlin, Heidelberg, Frankfurt in Germany. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hague in Netherlands, and may be Keukonhoff (if the garden is open). Paris is definitely worth. Brussels, Gent, Brugge, Oostende and i could add Leuven also (and u seem to be getting a momo party there). Leuven is not that great place to see, but the city center there is small and cozy. U might feel like walking in New Road KTM, while u walk from the city center towards the train station. I still have memories having a momo party in Leuven in one of the student's apartment, and ya i did enjoy one time dashain tika there. I thnk there are lots of neps in Leuven now, and at that time, during my visit to Leuven in dashain, the phone shop had written - Bijaya dashami ko upalakchyama Bishesh Chuut - for phone calls to nepal. Ha Ha Ha. U know what,, if u r below 25, u might want to buy one of that student tickets for train, and u can get like 10 trip tickets for very cheap. That was how it used to be in Belgium, but i am not sure to what other countries such tickets apply. As u r in Scanda, u will find everything cheap in mainland europe. ee aniii,, while with momo party in Leuven, don forget to enjoy the belgian beers (i recommend Hoegaarden and Leffe). I miss those in USA, and here everybody seems going nuts with Heineken, which i don like that much. youth hostels are very cheap, and along with it u get that morning breakfast. we had a youth hostel in Paris for $15 a night and that included breakfast also, and i miss those days as everythings are expensive here in USA. The metro in Pari is great, and takes u everywhere u want. Good luck for the trip.
