I went to the Himalayas last summer and it turned out to be the best holiday I have ever had. However, it took weeks to prepare everything. At first I had to check what the currency in Nepal is. I knew that in remote Asian villages there are neither cash machines nor banks where I could cash a cheque. I realized that a credit card or traveller’s cheques would be not enough and I should have some cash. I changed some money when the exchange rate was favourable and I had both Nepalese bank notes and coins with me.
