My graduate student from Nepal will help me around during my 3-weeks stay in Nepal. I just received an email with some infos on hotel rooms he will book for me (and that, of course, I will pay for). He sent me some pics of rooms in two different hotels, and I have opted for Rose Star Hotel in the Guashala area of Kathmandu.
During my stay, I will also try to meet some old friends in New Baneshwor I know from my last trip in 2012/2013 and I have been in permanent contact with since. I have no news about other dear friends, don't know what happened them during the earthquake there some years ago. I still know how to find them,. provided their houses were not destroyed during the earthquake.-
Here are some pics of the hotel booked for me (below)...

That looks all very adequate indeed, and I like the leather seats outside your room to lounge around and wait- or for a visitor to wait for you. What will the temperature be like when you arrive?
