What do I need to know before moving to Nepal?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Nepal, they said:

"Nepal is a culturally and geographically diverse country, so it is important to research the area you plan to move to and familiarize yourself with the local customs and language. It is also important to be aware of the political situation in Nepal, as it can be volatile at times. Additionally, the cost of living in Nepal is relatively low, so expats should plan their budget accordingly. Health care in Nepal is generally of a lower standard than in other countries, so expats should consider taking out health insurance. Finally, expats should be aware that the infrastructure in Nepal is not as developed as in other countries, so they should be prepared for some inconveniences," said one expat in Nepal.
