If you charge 15 US Dollars to enter your town

Then I'm probably not going to go there. Unlike the Taj, I'm not going to do this to save myself time fielding future questions on how it was. In this case a picturesque town in Nepal not far from Kathmandu, a regular tourist stop, charges simply to enter the town. In the handbook on how to get tourist money, someone missed the page on making your town inviting. (Unless your spot is truly unique, which is a label I associate with the Taj and Angkor Wat). I also object to any price in Dollars, it's just about acceptable for national treasures, but otherwise this is how you get Americans to accept paying ten times the local rate because "it's only twenty bucks". It turns out that there are many ways in, from simply walking down the side streets to waiting until the ticket counters close, but that's not me. As a non cheat, this pushes me into an adventure. Seven km walking fully loaded over the hills and through a small pine forest, and trying to refine the pronunciation of where I'm going, I reach a beautiful temple and small town. There is an entry fee of 1 US Dollar, but by chance of arriving by foot I missed the checkpoint for this more reasonable fee. Tourism is an industry which tries it's hardest to destroy itself.
