🏙️
Kathmandu is Nepal's beating heart — a city where ancient temples stand next to buzzing co-working spaces. The neighbourhood of Thamel remains a tourist favourite, but digital nomads increasingly prefer Lazimpat, Jhamsikhel, and Baneshwor for their quieter vibe, better restaurants, and faster internet.
The city has the best infrastructure for remote work in Nepal.
