dude you need some guidance for spending money in Nepal. you can spend far less for the same quality of service and stay at different place. even to eat, go places and how to travel you are spending way too much. and for the guy who hopped in to your cab you should report him to police.
Yes, I could have definitely done things more cost efficient but I wasn't too concerned. With the taxi guy, he must have a deal with the taxi company and maybe the airport where they make a percentage commission off the tours they sell. I wonder if the police know this type of thing happens and whether or not they would really care and do anything about it.
