About Kathmandu

Kathmandu, Nepal 🇳🇵 is a vibrant, budget-friendly base for digital nomads. It offers a growing café and coworking scene, strong cultural energy, and easy access to the Himalayas 🏔️. Internet can be uneven in some areas, but central neighborhoods like Thamel and Lazimpat are more reliable. Great for nomads who value adventure, community, and low living costs.
