What do I need to know before moving to Kathmandu?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Kathmandu, they said...
"Kathmandu is a bustling city with a unique culture and a rich history. Expats should be aware that the city is prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters, so it is important to be prepared. Expats should also be aware that the city is very crowded and traffic can be chaotic. It is important to be aware of the local customs and etiquette, as well as the language, as English is not widely spoken. Expats should also be aware of the cost of living in Kathmandu, as it is generally higher than in other parts of Nepal. Finally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements for Nepal, as they can vary depending on the purpose of the visit," commented one expat who made the move to Kathmandu, Nepal.
