Kathmandu's pollution has spiraled out of control so please expect to find a much dustier capital.

That's a pity. Thanks for the heads up. Will take a face mask.

  • I've been to Nepal a bunch of times and I usually recommend just passing quickly through KTM to get to where you are going. The dust can be terrible and it is loud and polluted - the opposite reason to why most people generally want to go to Nepal. Better to spend more time in the mountains or Pokhara

  • And mosquito born diseases are going around like crazy thanks to global warming.

    • It's winter here. That's mostly an issue during summer. Also, if you're out trekking, then that is a non-issue (especially higher up in the mountains).
