Indian visas in Nepal

Hello,
can anybody tell me the latest situation for getting an Indian visa in Nepal. Can you get six months multiple entry? How much does it cost for UK & US passports? Do you have to take a printed application to the office or can you complete it there. How long does it take? Can you get them in Pokhara?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

This thread gives a walkthrough of the process; I think it's up to date: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2293114

Only in KTM,

As of October last year and unless something has changed for most nationalities it's all but impossible to get more than 3 months visa.

On this site we keep seeing reports otherwise. I think I would include a letter addressing this need and a detailed if fictional itinerary for the 6 months. Some people described it as automatic. However, Indian visa policy at a particular consulate can change overnight..

Looks like something changed. Maybe when the 2 month out rule was rescinded it became easier to get 6 months.

Is the 6 month visa still dependable on whether you have had a visa issued at Kathmandu before? I was issued a 3 month visa there in 1996. So it was quite a while ago and on a different passport. Would they still have a record of this? Would it affect my application for a 6 month now?

Thanks for any information.
