I am writing
this post to share my experience of Nepal when I went there as a digital nomad.
I was there for over one month and I must say this is the best place for Indian
digital nomads because here everything is so affordable that you don’t feel the
budgetary pinch at all.

In fact, whosoever is looking to stay for longer time in the hills, overlooking world’s highest mountain Mount Everest, must come here. Nepal is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. And the special thing about Nepal is that people are very kind and always look to help others (I mean tourists and digital nomads) in more than one ways.
People are Helpful and Silent:
Nepal is a
poor country and mainly survives on tourism or the aid that comes from other
countries. Here, you will find people staring at you mildly with a benign smile
on their lips. To acknowledge their gaze, you can hold your palms closed
together in a Namaste position. Briskly say them Namaste or Namaskar.
Since there
are a lot of temples, avoid indulging into casual intimacy like cuddling or
kissing. People may frown at you. Before entering temples and homes, remove
shoes and slippers.
Life Aftermath Earthquake:
I was in
Kathmandu, as we all know that a massive earthquake in 2015 shook the whole of
Nepal. A lot of devastation and havoc made its way through the lives of people.
Though life for tourists was good going but I could see the rubbles of homes
and shrines. The earthquake made the streets and many places dusty. I saw
people were busy rebuilding homes and other places around their homes and
streets.
However,
hotels, paying guest rooms, shops and markets seemed untouched by the
earthquake. A lot of wooden and brick hotels were available for accommodation.
Public transport is mainly in the form of buses, though one can hired private
cabs as well but their counting is less.
Food Choices:
Simple place!
Simple food! Unlike posh locations of other famous tourist destinations; in
Nepal Pizza, burger or hotdogs outlets are totally absent. Due to mountainous
terrain, not all common crops grow in Nepal, also importing of food items from
other countries takes time hence you will readily get Dal Bhaat (lentil and
rice). At times mutton lamb is also available but Dal Bhaat eventually became
my favourite because I found it simple, nutritious and very cheap. I mean in 50
rupees unlimited meal. If you cannot survive without junk food, then healthy
Chinese food is there to savor your heart.
There is no
death of tea hangouts or coffee spots. I found many digital nomads at coffee
shops.
Best Place for Trekking:
You will find
shops selling necessary equipment for trekking and trailing. Also a lot of
agents are available to act as a guide. Kathmandu is famous for hosting many
base camps. You can escape into the nearby mountains or high points to
experience the sightseeing of Mount Everest.
your info is quite helpful to forever.used to really good
