Sorry – it is time to say goodbye to the Himalaya and Nepal.
Due to the Holi Day I was forced to take a junk taxi to get from the Guesthouse to the airport. It cost 500 rs – like 5 USD!
Kathmandu airport is famous fot its strong (I do not want to say: stupid) security control. You and your pack will be controlled 3 times on the way to the plane. Since they do not have advanced equipment you will be the subject of palpation in three places – fortunately the ladies have their separate line! 🙂
I had connection in Delhi airport, forced to spend there a night in the transit zone (without visa – op to 24 hours!).
At the gate 17 of terminal 3 they have funny boxes to sleep (charging 10 USD per hour – worth to use is you are really tired – no water, bring your earplugs due to permanent announcements… Lufthansa plane to Munich departed on time… Beer is free…
