Anyone with experience traveling in Nepal (Katmandu, Pokhara, etc.) who can offer suggestions on what to visit, where to stay and travel concerns.

I'm debating a short trip vs. an extended stay and renting an apartment.

I spent some time in Katmandu & Pokhara 40 years ago & I'm guessing things have changed some since. Sorry, no advice, but I expect they're still wonderful places!

Hello I am living just 80KM away from Nepal its the best place visit to Nepal. October-November, the start of the dry season, is in many ways the best time of the year in Nepal. At this time of the year the air is sparkling clean, visibility is unexcelled and the Himalayan views are as near perfect as you can ask. In Kathmandu the cheaper hotels, where heating is non-existent, are often chilly and gloomy in the evenings. There's sometimes a brief winter monsoon, lasting just a day or two in January.

Entry: A visa is necessary to enter Nepal and can be obtained for the following duration from any Royal Nepalese Embassy or Consulate or at the entry points in Nepal.

1. The single entry tourist visa can be obtained from the entry points of Nepal or from the Royal Nepalese diplomatic missions abroad by paying US$30 for 60 days.

2. If the visitors, who has already visited Nepal under tourist visa, intends to come again within 15 days of the same visa year he/she can obtain entry visa by paying US$50 for 30 days at the entry points or at the Royal Nepalese diplomatic missions abroad.

3. The visitors who wish to stay for more that 60 days in Nepal can extend their tourist visa by paying the equivalent of US$50 in the Nepalese currency for 30 days from the Department of Immigration.

4. Business visa with multiple entry facility for the period of one year and five years can be obtained from the Department of Immigration on the recommendation of Ministry of Industry by paying the equivalent of US$250 and US$100 respectively in the Nepalese currency for the foreign investors.

I would go on a 3 to 5 day Trek. An unforgettable experience that leaves you with some nice views and aspects of life in the mountains.
