If you are going to stay in Nepal for a while you can set up a PO box. These are the best because if you get a package they will put a slip in the box telling you to go to the other building to pick it up. Regular mail will be in the PO box. The process at the post office is long and frustrating. Always have your passport and a photo copy of your passport with you. I like to count the number of places I am sent. So far the record is 17 different places for signatures, paying tax, picking up the box, inspection of the box etc. Just remember some things like cameras/phones are not allowed to be sent to Nepal without an import lic. Sending packages out of Nepal is expensive. Mail like letters or post cards are not expensive but can take over a month to get to the states. Other locations will no doubt be faster. I have been here for 5 years and one of the worst things I hate the most is going to the post office.

Get a PO Box. Collecting mail from the box may be a hassle but it's the only way I know of to receive mail with any kind of reliability. Most places in the country, even in Kathmandu, do not have street addresses that can reliably be used, and few where postal delivery is available in any case.
