Here is an article in Republica that lists prices.

I'm certainly not doing cartwheels because a KFC and Pizza Hut are opening in Kathmandu, but one positive is that it quiets the Nepal Naysayers at least for one day. I've met too many people whose full time hobby is belittling Nepal - we're poor, dirty, nothing will ever change, there is no potential, it's impossible to do anything in the country...

The fact that KFC and Pizza Hut franchisees are prepared to invest in Nepal (and they must have done quite a bit of research) can only be looked at as a positive. Also, as the USA Charge d'Affairs said, the fact that such international brands are present in Nepal might temp others to invest in the country as well and inspire local entrepreneurs.
