DH needs to go to kathmandu for a couple of days later this month, and I really want to go with him to escape the heat and to see a new place.. a short break! :)
But we have a 25month old DS and a 5month old DD... think it would be crazy? It is highly likely that for 2 days I may have to manage both on my own... as long as the 25month old is occupied, we r good :)
Any opinions? wisdom? :)

IF you do end up going then I'd recommend you stay at a hotel like the Crown Plaza. It's in the city but kind of tucked away on it's own in nice green grounds. They have a nice little swimming pool and spa etc if your DH won't mind looking after the little ones for an hour or so. The monkey temple is only 10, 15 min away so you can do the touristy thing for a couple of hours. It's not extremely kid friendly as there are lots of steps up to the temples but the monkeys are at the bottom kind of just hangigng around. There's a nice view of the city valley. If you are up for it and you want the get away then it will be a mini adventure.

A friend of mine went over Easter with her 2 daughters (6 and 3). They loved it BUT she said it was über polluted. You might also check re: jabs. If I remember correctly they had to get Hep A or B a few wks before they flew out there. Not sure if a 5 mnths old baby can get that done so young.

was there last year, the pollution is very bad, at times my eyes really hurt. You must be very careful with drinking and eating so I was advised not to take my kids youngest being 4 until they were older. Heard a really scary story from a friend who went there with an 18 month old who nearly died. Having said that there were people who I saw walking around with some small kids, just not very many..
