Hope you enjoy this video
When you go to Nepal you really need to plan well, but keep your options alive. Be particularly mindful of the travel time. During normal times in Kathmandu it can take up to an hour or more to go from the airport, for example, to Patan. Few taxis have air conditioning and it can get pollution-hot even on a normally pleasant day. That means you really need to enjoy the area where you are staying and then pack up to explore another area. You will save time, as well as money and frustration.
In this accompanying video and this blog I hope
you'll be able to find the best destination for a day trek. It's my main
aim to create the best videos to help travelers to get the most out of
Nepal. I use this blog post when there is more to say than I can fit
into a 10 minute video.
There is forest all the way around
the Kathmandu Valley, so it's best to think of the Valley like a grit
and explore it in sections. That's why we did this temple trek video.
Now, all you need to do is take a look and think about where you'd like
to explore. There is a map at the end.
There really isn't a
problem with guesthouses being over-booked; booking online will often
cost a bit more. However, if there is a festival in the particular area
there is a possibility that you could have a problem and you'll need to
pay a bit more for a room and for food. So, do check ahead, especially
if it's during a full moon.
Of these temple treks and visits featured in this video you can expect to pay the following:

Although you could walk to Kirtipur it would likely be through the loud, polluted city of Kathmandu. I suggest packing up your things and staying a night or two here and take a taxi up to the ancient city.
I think we've all learned the value of Travel Insurance. If you get hurt or become ill in Nepal there are two distinct ways you'll be treated. If you have travel insurance you're much more likely to survive.
