December in Kathmandu

I am travelling to Kathmandu to umpire cricket from the 5th to the 16th of december. I read that I am not allowed to take rupees in to the country, is that correct? I am also told that I do not require injections, is that correct also. Finally how cold will it be during the day and how early does the sun set. Any help would be appreciated.

Rupees are hard to come by outside Nepal ! Most large hotels have Exchange desks, and there are numerous change bureaux and bank offices in Kathmandu (and I think there%26#39;s also one at the airport). There will also be various touts in the street offering exchange at more favourable, but this is outside the law . . . .

Daytime temperatures in KTM in December should be quite pleasant - upper teens centigrade - although 1000 metres up you are only 28 degrees north of the equator ! Sunset time will be not greatly different from UK - I suspect that bad light may be a problem from 4 p.m. onwards.
