Nepal travel tips

[Mark.]

Not me unfortunately....a friend is off to Nepal for a bit of trekking week after next and has a few questions she can't find answers to on the net, so I thought I'd throw it open to you well seasoned folks.

Travel Adapters - what type pin arrangement do they have?

Cash/cards - what's best to take? Can you get cash out of a machine with a bank debit card?

Any other helpful hints would be most gratefully received I'm sure.

Thanks folks.

haha - and the first line of the link is about a person missing in Nepal.

Cheers for the link though - PH is the only forum I use but I'll pass the info on.

That's great feedback - thanks

Any tips on the electricity supply before I pass the info on? Unfortunately not me going

I hear you're advised to not bother being so clean in the month or two before going eg not wiping surfaces with anti-bacterial wipes etc. If she's a big fan of Dettol, she can expect to spend most of her trip squatting over a hole in the ground...

I'm going to enjoy passing that tidbit on!

She's on a tight schedule, has been given time out of work - so no chance to relax I don't think
