I have been to Pokhara 27 years ago. I see many changes. More tourists, more guesthouses. But it is still inexpensive destination for the foreigner. The loaf of bread cost 120 rupees, A jar of honey (my choice) 200 rs for 500g. In the street restaurant you pay 150 rs for the portion of momo -my favourite Tibetan dumplings. Money changers offer today 97 rupees for one USD.
But there are also unpleasant surprises: the shortage of electric power -it is officialy announced: no power from 9am till 3pm and from 6pm till 11pm. This means no internet, no warm water, no laundry…That’s Nepal in 21st century… But the people are lovely…
