: : Could well be a furphy, but it is not inconcievable. I have heard of people which were so desperate of comfort after a couple of weeks of trekking, that they went to the trouble of faking some altitude sickness + diahorrea and other major complications, in order tot get the helicopter out. Apparently they paid by Credit Card, hoping to get a doctor in KTD to endorse their "sickness" and therefore being able to claim the costs from the insurance. Else they stood to lose about 1200 US dollars, and that did not seem to worry them unduly. Hence, someone willing to pay way over market price for some comfy accommodation in Jomsom is not that far-fetched. Especially if they were Americans. I loath to stereotype, but I am willing to bet my last 10 Euro on this assumption. : : Point taken ;-)
