Kathmandu Airport

We arrived late in Kathmandu. Nevertheless it was a long way before we reached our bed. Nepal had Visa on arrival which is pretty easy to obtain. You only have to fill out the form and to pay 40$ at a counter and you are in. It’s also no problem to pay in Euro, Rubel, Yen, Hongkong dollar, Australian dollar or even Danish kroner, but you can’t pay in Nepalese rupee, which was all we got from the ATM. At least they took credit card and only charged 1$ extra additional to the credit card fee.
Flying from Kathmandu Airport is as funny as arriving here. When the Taxi driver managed to navigate you through the dense evening traffic (I haven’t seen any traffic signs nor traffic lights just a few police men using „trillerpfeifen“) you arrive at a dark looking building crowded with people.
It was surprisingly straightforward to get my tickets but to find the security check to you had to follow the immigration signs (for what ever reason). At the security check the first surprise waited. There were different lines for male and femal passengers. Don’t know whether it is for the favor of men or women??? After the check I wanted to head on to the gate, but no the officer at the security check forgot to stamp my ticket??? Arriving at the „gate“ I found myself in a dark corridor. Order hold up by some metal benches. And then you enter again the western world by stepping into the airplane.
