It's interesting you say that because I want to go but I don't want to get vaccines. And I don't mean covid, I mean all the other shit that they're telling you to get because from what I hear the Nepalese people rub their hands in shit and then cook your food. I asked around about this on reddit and was called all sorts of horrible things for it. Couldn't get a straight answer. I also asked 5 years ago when I wanted to go and everyone said if you don't get your vaccines you'll die when you get there so I was like fuck that I'm not going to go but then a person who I lost touch with but every now and then hear stuff about him I'd there right now. till May I guess, you can stay for 5 months or six or money talks. So I guess you've been there?

lol you don’t have to worry about this. In Kathmandu they’ve got a section of the city called thamel. That’s where you stay. It’s a small section built just for tourists. 3 course 4 star meals for like $12-15.
However yes I did get very sick when I first arrived. Through quick process of elimination / on / off testing I found the curtains in the room were giving me severe strep throat. I just asked for a new room and was fine.
In Nepal you don’t really need prescriptions. You just go to the pharmacy and they give you what ever tf.

You can stay in a nice hotel for like $300 / month. Almost everyone who visits there stays the entire summer.
I recommend renting a dirt bike and driving the city and Himalayas yourself. Beyond the most amazing experience of your life. Dirt bike rentals are like $12 / day lol.
Hmmmmm interesting. You're like the first person who hasn't gatekept Nepal from me, thanks for that. How the fuck did you get strep throat from the curtains? Did you get the 30 shots that they recommend or were you like fuck it and just went? Did you do any big hikes or just kind of hung out? Is that hotel thing good all over the country? could I go up country and get a hotel room for a couple of weeks for pretty cheap?
Bacteria live in curtains in Napal. lol
My guess is the curtains had mold in them. In India like countries all their buildings don’t seal. So windows draft etc.
I’m not getting shots of anything.
I was too sick with colitis to take the treks or I would have. Did the flight around Everest instead. Bungee jumping looks good there too.
Ya if you dirt bike etc hotels will be dirt cheap all over the country. I did actually do that. I can’t vouch for the quality etc once you leave Kathmandu.
