*This is a pre-trip post.
When In Manila, just take two flights and visit Nepal!ย
Visiting other countries is much easier now, thanks to the availability of more flights from different airline companies in the Philippines!ย AirAsia flew its first trip from Kuala Lumpur to Nepal last July 3, 2012.ย So all you need to do to visit the birthplace of Buddha, Mt. Everest and the Himalayas is to book a flight to KL and from there, fly to Nepal!
Plane ticket to Kathmandu
I bought my ticket from Manila to Kuala Lumpur to Kathmandu and back at a total of P20,000.ย Watch out for seat sales because you can get Nepal flights at only P5,000 ++ back and forth.
ย
Visit our neighboring tourist attractions!ย Ever dreamed of seeing Mt. Everest? โ Earth’s highest mountain with a peak at 8.8k meters!ย This was my childhood dream that I thought would never come true, but yours truly willย visit this beautiful place in October!ย Iโm sharing this with you so you would know that visiting Nepal is more accessible now and can definitely fit in your budget!

Hotel Accommodation in Nepal via Agoda.com
You can visit the numerous Hotel Booking services online, but thereโs one website I personally recommend to you.ย Based on personal experience, I recommend doing your bookings with Agoda.comย
You can see from the my hotel bookings: some are budget and some are luxurious stays.ย Thatโs just page one
ย
ย
Not only does it give you a vast pool of Hotels in any given area, it gives you the choice as a traveler whether to go on a budget or indulge in luxurious rooms.ย I booked most of my hotel accommodations via Agoda and I am highly satisfied with the security and the features of the website.ย It accepts Paypal, credit card and other means.ย In some cases, they allow you to reserve a room with Free Cancelation option.ย More than that, you can Manage your Bookings online by yourself so that you are free to cancel or change your booking dates 24/7.ย It has 4% rebate feature every time you book a hotel that you can use in your future bookings!ย I actually have booked a hotel stay all from the 4% rebate I collected.ย In addition, you get points and rewards when you help build the Agoda community by submitting hotel reviews during your stay.ย Agoda offers offbeat prices giving you discounts and other bonuses.ย Iโve been raving so much about Agoda because I personally have a great experience with them.
Whatโs great about Agoda.com is the community as well.ย Before you book a hotel, you get to read other peopleโs reviews about the hotel.ย Only the people who stayed in the hotel via Agoda.com can rate and writer reviews unlike other websites that are prone to โtrolls.โ
