Mr Neo, thanks a lot! I have not been back in Nepal since 10 years. how much tablets/ ipads/ laptops/ I phones cost down there in nepali rupees? and which departmental stores I need to go? I am asking all these questions as I don't have much family down there. so I will be getting minimal help. we were planning to get some if it is affordable. do they have departmental stores for the babies ? if I have to buy diapers, formula, clothes, strollers or other baby items? on October 2nd week around dasain - December 1st week, in Nepal, what kind of weather its gonna be like? is it good months to go for trekking/ hiking ? can u suggest any travelling agency for tour of Kathmandu and outside if we pal to go for? me, my husband and kids are us citizens. I got newyork consulate office and got information abt applying for tourist visas for us. I called couple of travelling agencies like peaceland travels, aeronepal, airzone travels. they said all Turkish airlines tickets are sold out for month of October but they do have cathy pacifics, Qatar airways and the price are outrageous for 4 of us. which one will be the best, fair and shortest route to take from US- Nepal? even Qatar airways have long transit in Doha but they donot provide hotel, its rough with 2 small kids. how much us dollars I can carry as cash ? is it best to make travel checks through the bank and how much is the dollars limit? is it best to take foreign currency Nepalese rupees from here or we can exchange in tribhuwan airport? how and where I need to contact in case we have death threats in Nepal, or chances of getting kidnapped or abducted,if we loose passports, in emergency situations? is that homeland security/ us embassy Nepal/ newyork or dc counselee office? please advise. I know its too many questions and ur help will save our trip. neo, is there anyemail address that I can contact u/ ph no that me and my husband can talk to ya? thanks!
