Bus to Kathmandu
There a some different bus companys. We take the ac-bus from Baba, a good choice because the trip can be very dusty.

The ticket was 1250R (12,50EU) per person. The bus need 7-8Std (incl. 45 stop) to Kathmandu.
In Kathmandu we don’t stay in the tourist area Thamel. The Haus Namaste is a little bite outside, about 15min to Thamel walking, but a nice place
