"There are daily direct overnight buses to various places in Nepal... If you are travelling on a fixed budget, opt for one of the many hostels, homestays and budget hotels... Winter is the best time to visit Nepal... When in Nepal, eat like a local. And eat where locals eat. Local food will be a lot cheaper than most restaurants with an international menu. Ask around for Bhojanalayas—local food joints... Take the local bus... public buses cover almost every part of Nepal and are inexpensive. If you are not in a hurry, buses will save you a lot of money. Treks in Langtang, Annapurna region and Everest Base Camp are easy treks and can be done independently too, meaning without hiring a guide. Trekking solo is not advisable if you are not familiar with the places (even if you are). You will find plenty of other like-minded budget travellers like yourself, in search of a trekking partner."
