Pokhara by the lake is worth a few days, probably 7-8 hrs from Kathmandu. Great place to relax and some hiking. You will have no problem finding accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara for12 or less. If you mean now by 'these days' expect some rain.

Hello Mike. I agree with the previous poster that Pkhara is a very good place to go. Lovely town by the lake with great mountain views. Another place could be Bakhtapur which is very close to Kathmandu. I was just in Nepal myself 2 months ago and stayed at a few different hotels and this one here was nice and cheap and should be within your budget: "Ok budget place with a very central location." - Potala Guest House Tip by cachaseiro This place has a perfect location aswell right in the center of the Thamel district.
