In October 2022, I moved to Nepal for 87 days — living between Kathmandu and Pokhara, trekking the Mardi Himal, and discovering why this is one of Asia’s best-kept remote work destinations. The honest account, with real costs included.
Patan is the finest of the three royal cities in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley — extraordinary Newari bronze workshops, the best museum in Nepal, and a Durbar Square that survived the 2015 earthquake remarkably intact.
Arriving in Kathmandu in July monsoon — Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, the Monkey Temple, and the Himalayas. My first Nepal trip and why I came back for three months.
