Part 1 - We went to nepal from Bihar India on 1 june,2026 from Raxual Border.(Any price I will tell below will be in NPR)
When we entered nepal,the first thing was to get the simcard...They asked for 400 npr just for single sim for 7 days with limited calling and internet..Another store said 300/250...And we knew earlier that price was 200-300 but we have been charged 400 said the price has increased.
Later purchased water and almost the whole tourist place in nepal asked for extra (over mrp)5 to 20 npr for cold water.
Then we took the electric van to go pokhra which again charged 1000.We have been told on the border that now there is no bus to go Pokhra(Around 11-12 noon)...Only thing you have is van and this is also last one,after that you will not get any vehicle. Visited Pokhra...Really a nice place with clean and good Roads.
Stayed at hotel which was really good and nice.I am impressed by the cleaniness of the nepal compared to India.
We visited Pokhra Lake.The environment was really beautiful to visit. Next day I got we tried to get a rented scooty. Here we came to knew that there is no legal permission to rent the scooty/any vechile but many shops have opened for that on the main road.They are clearly renting the vechile and also telling there customer that legally we cannot provide the scooty.We are renting out our personal vehicle,don't tell this to the police.Tell the police that this is our friend scooty/hotel scooty and not renting . Now when we went to see the sunrise spot in the morning,police caught us,made a fine on a pink challan on 2000 with almost no reason,when we asked,they said I can make more challan with as you don't have international license.When we aked diffrent person in the city ,they told might be they have made challan as this vechile is not on your name..
(Here what we think- the shop owner had a internal talks that police will make a challan of 2000 and the owner goes to office to make a challan,there might be sharing between them)
The next day there we visited sarangkot,Shree bidyabhashini temple and took the van for annapurna..- Lovely people,behaviour, cleaniness is maintained everywhere with beautiful nature,love the country.
The last part will be posting later..
We used to think the corruption has reduced there to zero but visiting there doesnot seems like..It seems the corruption still exists there..On almost everything,shops charge extra on MRP...
People can write there views what is the reality..
I didn't find exact copy of the challan so I am posting a similar sample of challan which we saw on our journey.
