 === Getting around in Kathmandu, Nepal ===
-[link TBD]
+*The winter season will just start to end at the end of February. It would be sunny and warm during day but at nights/mornings it still would be cold (~10-12 C @ Night).
+*Kathmandu suffers from 12 Hours of Loadshedding daily. But no need to worry for our event as hotel will have generator backups.
+*Food here may feel a bit spicy but is manageable.
+*The Nepalese volunteers will try to manage all the travellings for the guests. The hotel will provide us with vehicles too.
+In case anyone needs to travel by their own, the hotel will have public taxis for rent which may not work on meter fare but will fix their rate for the travel.
+* In case anyone is away from the hotel and doesnt know how to return back to hotel, always ask some people how far the hotel is before renting a taxi so that you will have idea of whether it really is necessary to rent a taxi or not. Its suggested not to take other means of public transport like buses & micro-vans.
+* This one is a personal suggestion: It would be better to have at least one person who speaks Hindi in the grooup while travelling separately because almost all people can understand Hindi here even if they do not understand English, so it can be easier to communicate.
