On my girlfriend’s behest, I decided to spend our extended weekend break of 5 days in the KTM or the tri-city of Kathmandu in Nepal. But traveling from Delhi, we needed a plan and itinerary to match our compressed timings. We approached the e-commerce travel site www.antilogvacations.com which specializes in holidays to Nepal. Their site was pretty user-friendly and the customer care representative responded back almost immediately.
We informed them about our constraints and the representative, Maria gave us a patient hearing. She chalked out our entire schedule and got our tickets done in practically no time. Our accommodation and cab services were all taken care of and we were all set for the state of the backwaters. The picturesque Hotel Tibet International was our abode in Kathmandu. It is a 3 star resort located in the heart of the city.
It is quite close to the Tribhuvan International Airport as well. We got the rooms as soon as we reached over there. The rooms were quite large compared to the compound area, which was relatively smaller and were around 550 sq ft in area. The travel desk helped us with our local travel by arranging trips with several Nepalese city airlines viz. Cosmic Air, Agni Air, Buddha Air, Nepal Airlines and Yeti Airlines etc. The room service guys were quite adept in their task and went about their work with equal panache irrespective of the time they were operating in.
The high point of our stay was that we visited during the fair and festival season in Kathmandu which originated in the Malla period as per tidbits provided by our room butler. Traditionally, these festivals were celebrated by Newars but now by all. The Ghode (horse) Jatra and the Indra Jatra gave us options for many beautiful snapshots as well.
