How much does it cost to travel in Nepal?

Whilst we were in Nepal we kept a diary of how much we were spending each day and on average over 7 days, we spent £9 per day each.

Please note that we are budget travellers, and all costs listed below are for two people. We normally stay in a basic double room with fan and shared bathroom, and try to travel on local buses rather than tourist buses where possible. I have excluded the cost of Nepalese visas.
