About Kathmandu
Kathmandu sits at 1,400m elevation with the Himalayas as its backdrop and a 3,000-year-old civilisation as its context. WorldLink fibre delivers 25–80 Mbps reliably. Thamel Cowork, Karkhana, and Impact Hub all function properly. Monthly costs of $600–900 buy a comfortable life. The food — dal bhat, momos, Tibetan dishes — is excellent and cheap. The main challenge is infrastructure variability — backup power and mobile data redundancy are essential. Worth it for the experience.
