Ohoo.. BTW ..

I have left out BASIC INTRASTRUCTURE .. I hope you all understand Nepal is not USA;

So,

1. You won't be getting 24 Hr Electricity,  This year 2068 Its estimated: 16Hrs/day NO LIGHT - Loadshedding

2. Drinking Water: whether it is drinkable or not is all together another question, but in Nepal don't expect 24hrs water. 3 Hours in a week is like a boon, that too during midnight : 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM, if you forget to run machine then don't have a bath for a week or pay hefty price (Rs. 2000 for 5K Liters) to water tankers to fill your tank.

3. Deviod of Electricity and Constant Supply of Water have already given an idea of how hard it would be for hot water bath.

4. Credit Cards: You can't buy anything online from here. Govt. don't allow you to apply for DOLLAR credit card unless you show your biz where you have to show you are brining in DOLLARS in the country. You can send only 40% of total dollar amount that you bring in. If you are thinking of some outsourcing biz. So CLICK & BUY from ebay, amazon somewhat difficult as most of them dont ship worldwide. Ohhhooo Ya, Paypal dont work from Nepal. If you open an account from Nepal you need to tag Dollar credit card to send money & You CANT ACCEPT MONEY in PAYPAL account opened from NEPAL.

5.  Transportation & Traffic: You wont, I repeat YOU WILL NOT be able to travel in public transport. Either you will get blood pressure or sick due to pollution. Even if you opt for private vehicle like  Bike, chances are high you might get into accident, not b'coz of your driving but others. If you own Cars, then you will be able to drive in City before 7:00 AM or after 9:00 PM. If you need to drive in between then well, you need to start up 2-3 hours earlier for any appointment considering Kathmandu's traffic and narrow lanes.

6. Pollution: You will need to take a hike or stride once a week to service your lungs out of the Valley ... just to breathe some fresh air.
So, in terms of basic infrastructure terms how good is NEpal (or say KTM) for living you can make a good guess.
