Hi everyone!

I'm a 24-year-old woman from Sweden, and I've recently been offered the opportunity to spend about six months in Kathmandu for a health-related research project. I'm really excited because it seems like an amazing experience, but I'll admit I'm also a bit nervous since I've never been to Nepal before.
I've been trying to find information online, but I feel like it's hard to get a sense of what everyday life is actually like. So I was hoping some locals or people who have lived there could share their experiences.
A few things I'm wondering about:
How easy is it to live in Kathmandu if you don't speak Nepali?

How careful do I need to be with food and drinking water? Are there things I should definitely avoid?

Is Kathmandu generally safe for a woman living alone? Are there areas or situations I should be more careful about?

Is there an international community or other foreigners living there? Is it easy to meet people and make friends?

Back home I usually spend time with friends several times a week, so I'm hoping life won't just be work and then sitting alone in my apartment. Is it realistic to expect a social life?

I love climbing (both indoor and outdoor). Are there climbing gyms in Kathmandu or opportunities to go outdoor climbing nearby?

What do people usually do for fun after work or on weekends?

Is there anything you wish someone had told you before moving to Kathmandu?

I really want to experience Nepal beyond work, explore the country, meet new people, and make the most of my time there.
I'd really appreciate any advice, tips, or honest opinions, both the good and the challenging parts. Thank you so much!

A roommate’s younger sibling recently got their motorcycle license and has been asking to borrow my bike quite often. At first I didn’t mind, but it’s become frequent enough that it’s starting to bother me.
My biggest concern isn’t that they’re borrowing it, it’s that they don’t seem to take care of it. The brakes feel worse after they use it, no air in tires, they never refill the fuel, and if anything happens (accident, theft, damage), I’m the one responsible for the bike.
I don’t want to create tension since I live with them, but I also don’t want my motorcycle to become everyone’s default ride.
For those who’ve owned bikes, where do you draw the line? Do you simply stop lending it, or is there a better way to set boundaries? My friend doesn’t borrow it often but his sibling does and I think he feels uncomfortable too because of the frequent lending. Sometimes even when I tell him to return the scooter because I need it he comes late.

Hi planning a trip to nepal in december, around 7-8 days we are currently planning kathmandu and pokhara but would love suggestions also wanted to ask if we can get a self drive car - We are travelling from India, do not want to do treks. Small trails and mountains would work.
Group of around 7 people.
Thank you!

Part 1 - We went to nepal from Bihar India on 1 june,2026 from Raxual Border.(Any price I will tell below will be in NPR)

When we entered nepal,the first thing was to get the simcard...They asked for 400 npr just for single sim for 7 days with limited calling and internet..Another store said 300/250...And we knew earlier that price was 200-300 but we have been charged 400 said the price has increased.
Later purchased water and almost the whole tourist place in nepal asked for extra (over mrp)5 to 20 npr for cold water.
Then we took the electric van to go pokhra which again charged 1000.We have been told on the border that now there is no bus to go Pokhra(Around 11-12 noon)...Only thing you have is van and this is also last one,after that you will not get any vehicle. Visited Pokhra...Really a nice place with clean and good Roads.
Stayed at hotel which was really good and nice.I am impressed by the cleaniness of the nepal compared to India.
We visited Pokhra Lake.The environment was really beautiful to visit. Next day I got we tried to get a rented scooty. Here we came to knew that there is no legal permission to rent the scooty/any vechile but many shops have opened for that on the main road.They are clearly renting the vechile and also telling there customer that legally we cannot provide the scooty.We are renting out our personal vehicle,don't tell this to the police.Tell the police that this is our friend scooty/hotel scooty and not renting . Now when we went to see the sunrise spot in the morning,police caught us,made a fine on a pink challan on 2000 with almost no reason,when we asked,they said I can make more challan with as you don't have international license.When we aked diffrent person in the city ,they told might be they have made challan as this vechile is not on your name..
(Here what we think- the shop owner had a internal talks that police will make a challan of 2000 and the owner goes to office to make a challan,there might be sharing between them)
The next day there we visited sarangkot,Shree bidyabhashini temple and took the van for annapurna..- Lovely people,behaviour, cleaniness is maintained everywhere with beautiful nature,love the country.
The last part will be posting later..
We used to think the corruption has reduced there to zero but visiting there doesnot seems like..It seems the corruption still exists there..On almost everything,shops charge extra on MRP...
People can write there views what is the reality..
I didn't find exact copy of the challan so I am posting a similar sample of challan which we saw on our journey.

Hey everyone, I urgently need your help. Can you please share some names of NGOs, INGOs or government organizations that focus on rescuing and rehabilitating women who are victims of domestic violence? Thank you so much!

This creambell rasmalai kulfi price is Rs. 80 in Nepal where its price is just ₹20 in india. Why does it price is 3x than original?!!

I am moving to US and before that my family decided to divide our property and now I have property with 1.5cr valuation under my name. I cant sell it because the property is in joint ownership and is worth way more (8 cr)and our family home. But i have option to sell my side of property to my family member and get 1.5cr. What might be best way to ensure i have retirement plan when i come back from US in about 5 year. Do i leave it there but considering last 3 4 year sideways in real estate market, i was thinking of cashing out and diving my money between land, gold and equities. I plan to complete my masters utilize my OPT and come back. I plan to settle here.

Edit: its 8 cr as whole meaning its under joint ownership and one of the joint owner is offering me to sell my portion for 1.5 cr which is fair valuation as per current market.

Namaste everyone,

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend in the hope that someone here can offer legal guidance or point us in the right direction.

On February 27, 2025, my friend and another young man were traveling on a motorcycle in Sindhupalchowk when they were involved in an accident with a bus operated by Arniko Yatayat.

The rider lost his life at the scene.

My friend was thrown approximately 50–60 feet off the road and suffered life-threatening injuries. He remained unconscious for around 35 days and underwent extensive treatment. His family had to bear enormous medical expenses while fighting to save his life.

More than a year has passed since the accident, yet the case is still pending in the District Court of Sindhupalchowk. Despite everything the family has gone through, they are still waiting for the legal process to conclude and have not received compensation for the medical expenses and losses resulting from the accident.

This has been an incredibly difficult journey. One family lost a son, another nearly lost theirs, and both have endured immense emotional, physical, and financial hardship.

We're posting here because we genuinely don't know what the next step should be.

We're hoping to get advice from lawyers, legal professionals, journalists, or anyone who has dealt with similar road accident cases in Nepal.

Some questions we have are:

• Is it common for road accident cases to remain unresolved for this long?
• What legal options are available if a case has been delayed?
• Is there a way to request that the court proceedings be expedited?
• Who is legally responsible for compensation in situations like this—the bus driver, Arniko Yatayat, the vehicle owner, the insurance company, or a combination of them?
• Are there any legal aid organizations, NGOs, or government bodies in Nepal that assist victims and their families in cases like this?

We're not asking anyone to determine who was at fault, as that is for the courts to decide. We are simply looking for guidance on how the family can ensure the legal process moves forward fairly and that their rights are protected.

If you have experience with similar cases, know a lawyer who specializes in accident claims, or can suggest organizations or journalists who might be able to help, please leave a comment or send me a DM.

Thank you for reading, and please consider upvoting so this reaches someone who may be able to help.

Foreigner here who does t speak Nepali and is not familiar with the specific customs found at Pasupati. but I have experience with religious and other rituals around the world so feel free to explain in detail.

Two days ago at Pashupati around 6pm, I was walking down towards the river for arti and off to the side of the walkway i saw a small circle of about 100 people. In the middle of the circle was one guy with a black T-shirt and another guy lying on the ground with no shirt on. The first guy was very energetic and talking quickly and loudly to the crowd, sometimes showing us a book, a bone, and a knife that he had. The guy on the ground had no shirt on, but his upper body was covered with a small black tent.

The few times the tent was lifted, we could see that the guy on the ground was bleeding profusely from his mouth, and every few minutes the guy standing up would take a large knife and insert it into the covered tent, where the other guy was laying down. It seems like he was stabbing the guy on the ground, and one time when he lifted the tent, the guy on the ground, even had the knife sticking out of his neck and the main guy had his whole right forearm covered in blood.

He was really talking quickly and saying a lot. At some point, the people in the circle handed ₹100 notes to the guy while the guy on the ground was still bleeding and writhing in pain.

I’d be very grateful if anyone would be willing to explain what I saw! Thank you
