Kathmandou in March by denny1700
HelloI am thinking of repatriating. I've been to Kathmandou once before, in October and stayed at the Hyatt Regency for a few days. I know it's not representative of the life that expats lead in Kathmandou. I've decided to go back in March and stay ...
Consider Pokhara. The nights are always cool(40's-60's) and summers are tolerable because your house cools down at 3pm. For me, KTM is too crowded and noisey. Cheers🙂 Read More
Tourist visa requirements
Have the proof of vax or RT-PCR requirements at airport been dropped as other countries have done? Finding confusing info online. It seems the CCMC form was dropped or was that just for Dashain? Read More
Nepal - How is the sanitation of food and water? by pranaman
Hi, I am an American, and have been in Mexico for 2 months. I am considering visiting, possibly staying in Nepal for some time. I've been to India before. How is it there? Are the borders open? How is the sanitation of food and water?
Hi Ama, I hope those good changes mean more time you can stay there. I'll wade through the website. I wont go until August so who knows what the visa changes will be by then. Namaste Read More
Nepalese travelling out of Nepal by Kaylee1995
Hi, First time travelling out of Nepal to Singapore. Do the immigration counter in Nepal ask you or check how much cash you have before you get to travel out? I’m travelling on budget.
I have never been checked for money going into or out of Nepal. You arent supposed to take the money out of the country but i do to make my airport experience quicker when i come back. You have nothing to worry about. Read More

I agree about the states. For some reason, which i will only find out during life review, i decided after living in chiang mai for 2 years and nepal for 10 months, that i would return to the US and get work in my former career. Between thailand and ... Read More

I agree about the Khmer people. The way you feel about Cambodia is the way i feel about Nepal. Regarding Vietnam, I was going to live in Da Lat for a while because it looked awesome with good weather. I miss Nepal. The afternoon rush hour in Pokhara ... Read More

I do see your point there. Depressing in that my khmer friends are are being hit hard and the place looks like the aftermath of an extended bombing run with all the destruction and construction. And, this was never my country of choice in the first ... Read More

I, too, would have difficulty living in the US on my pension. I also found it to be as or more boring than anywhere you stay too long. My plan was to move about but now those plans are shot. I love Nepal. That is the country of choice for me but the ... Read More

Summer temps in SR get up to a "real feel" of 40+. I left chiang mai because i walk for exercise and 38-40 is not fun to walk any appreciable distance even if there was some where to go. If it were not for the plandemic, i would be in ... Read More
