LIVING IN KATHMANDU AS A FOREIGNER

WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE IN

 KATHMANDU?

There are many people living in Kathmandu, many are nationalist while as some from other nation live here too. Living as a foreigner is very difficult in Kathmandu. Many people think that Kathmandu is a very beautiful place to live, lots of temples, and much imaginary goodness. I admit that Kathmandu is a beautiful place to live if you are a fund of travelling to temples and if you are religious. But that doesn't help to survive. It will not get you to eat. Some of the things you should consider if you're planning to migrate to Kathmandu are described in this blog and it applies for both foreigners as well as citizens of Nepal from other districts.

Mistakes most of the people make while migrating to Kathmandu.

People specially migrate to Kathmandu thinking they will get a better job opportunity, better education, better facilities, etc. These are the basic needs for survival nowadays. Most of the people make this mistake while migrating to Kathmandu, lack of research. Before even thinking about migrating to Kathmandu, you better search for a job. Else your life will be miserable here and I see lots of people regretting because of it. And finding a job in Kathmandu is not that easy. So you better find a job.

Things Foreigners should consider.

1. Misconception of cost

It cost more than you think

Living in Nepal as a foreigner is strenuous. Travelling to Kathmandu is fun but living here may be hard. Foreigners think that Kathmandu or Nepal is the cheapest place to live but they are completely wrong the price or cost of everything is increasing rapidly and more for the foreigners.

2. Can you find a Nepali Partner?

You should know that you will always be treated as a foreigner no matter how much Nepali language you know or how much knowledge you have about Nepal and its people. Unconsidering this factor will lead you to a difficult life. If you are a single person then you should know a strange fact about Nepal that you can get a partner if you are a lady but not if you are a man. I don't know why but it's true.

3. Buying land.

As a foreigner, you might as well think that you can buy land and get into the law of Nepal but the law of Nepal is against that. If you are a foreigner you can't own land here. You can gift money to someone to buy land but it will never be in your name. 

4. Will you be able to deal with racism?

You should also be aware of the caste division and racism in Nepal. Every foreigner is treated differently here according to the Nation you belong to. Americans or White peoples are treated more superiorly than any other nationality. And Indians are given kinda low priority. People are specially treated according to the value of their currency basically.

If you are aware of the above things you are good to pack your bags and get a ticket for Kathmandu. Things might be different than you think but its a great place to live as a CITY OF TEMPLES.
