RE: TRAVELMAN NEPAL: The Start of My Four Day Poon Hill Trek in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
I hailed another cab. He asked for 450 rupees and told me the bus station was very far. I almost laughed in his face. I knew how far it was. I got him to take the 300 rupees which I realized was, indeed, the going rate.
They make a killing off unsuspecting travellers/tourists! I see this all the time here. White guys have lots of money...and no brains to boot. That's what the taxis think here...
Yep. Frustrating at times. Same with buying anything else without a listed price.
I've lived here in this area 11 years. I go to the market regularly and buy from the same people, and they still try!
