We hired a private car with a guide for $75 for the day. We are completely happy with what we were able to see and do. The guide was able to show us places we would have missed on our own. We also drove out to try and see Mt Everest but the clouds were in the way. We did see Anapura Mt and 7 people trekking at the base camp were swept to their deaths by an avalanche. The temples we saw were all top notch. The type of things you see in National Geographic. I really recommend going to Kathmandu and seeing such a different and interesting culture.
