For Nepal you can find Tours in Kathmandu, what do you want to do? small trek or big treks such as the Everest Base Camp Trek?
For this one new laws since 01/10/06 requires that you must hire a porter or a guide you will not be permited to enter the National park without it. (many people were never seen again, or got seriously sick)

check my blog on as I relate my lastest trip to Nepal
www.isabellearoundtheworld.com

It was fabulous, if you like trekking and you are fit, I will higly recomend it.

If not the region of the Annapurna, near Pokhara is really nice as well. (Annapurna circuit....)

I will recommend this tour operator in Kathmandu, it was recomended to me by Tourism Concern

www.royalmt.com.np.

or Uk operatrosr such as Exodus or Imaginative Traveller, but they are expensive.

Expect around 450GBp for Everest Base Camp trek from Kathmandu, inclufing the flights to Lukla. (if booked in Nepal)

The People of Nepal are really nice and you always feel welcome.

I hope it will help.
if need more info on Kathmandu let me know.

If you can afford it go to Mustang are, it is a marvel!

For Tibet, going independent is difficult if want to leave Lhassa, going on tour will be much easier, I am going in Sep/Oct, Lhassa, Mt Kailash and Guge Kingdom, if you want to join me let me know, start 09/09 from Chengdu or Kathmandu.

Kathmandu is full of colour, smell and noise. It is an exciting and vibrant city. W. Kirkpatrick wrote in 1811 â€œThere are nearly as many temples as houses, and as many idols as inhabitantsâ€ . The people follow two main religions: Buddhism and Hinduism. The two main sights for Buddhists are Boudhanath and Swayambhunath. The main temples for Hindus are Pashupatinath (cremation site) in Kathmandu and Changu Nayaran near Bhaktapur which I will later describe in another report. I love this mixture of religions, everybody lives in harmony and peace. The city is also full of small temples dedicated to many Hindu Gods as well as smaller Buddhist stupas with all kind of architecture. You can walk virtually pretty much everywhere in the city, but if you do not feel like walking you can always get a rickshaw or taxi. If you are going a long way there are buses going to many directions from the city bus park. Comparing to western cities taxis are cheap, especially if you share.

I travelled independently in Nepal. You don't really need a tour operator and it is probably cheaper if you don't, although that will mean doing a lot more organising and research on your part. There are plenty of tour operators in Kathmandu that offer various trips, and I would suggest it would probably be cheaper to book there than from abroad. Check out a Lonely Planet or Footprint guide for help.

If you are looking for one of the cheapest and best tour guide in town then have a talk with http://a1excursion.com and http://himalayaexcursion.com. They always provide good services and they organise the package tour and try to find out someone you can go with.

I was in Nepal for five months in 2005. It is a very safe country and the people are very friendly and is set up for tourism. I don't think you need a tour operator unless you are going to Solo Khumbu (Everest region) or trekking. If you don't plan on doing these things, then use Lonely Planet or Fodor's to plan your trip.

You can do it yourself! I flew wit Qua-tar airlines for Â£450 ( 10h transfer in Doha though...), accommodation Â£2-5 arranged with the taxi driver from the airport. You can get trekking permit in 10 min (take photograph with you). To get to the mountains taxi is a good option, just stick to your price, might take time, but you'll get it. Good guides on www.cicerone.co.uk or trailblazer-guides.com. Local community will organize you a porter if you need one-just ask. Here's the e-mail address of the guide I met in Annapurna. face2face@wlink.com.np. His name is Sarkey Sherpa and he does treks in Nepal and Tibet. Go and enjoy!
