When I was in Nepal, a long time ago, I found the traveling on a shoestring books from Lonely Planet a great resource. It gives you tips on where to go and what to see whilst stretching your resources to the limits. I also used them in India, Pakistan and throughout Southeast Asia.
Sure, saved our asses after getting assaulted by bus robbers in India in 94!
And of course it was me bringing a copy that solved that problem, not our somewhat native tour leader haha...
These days Facebook is where it is at, good thing that I have several accounts spread across different VMs on QubesOS super worst case, if that lizard demon bans me I'll still have access!
Got one offer of a simple room at ~120 bucks a month already, around double of that is common and easy.
