How to Find Apartments in Nepal
1. The "Start with a Guesthouse" Strategy (Recommended)
Book 3 to 5 nights in a hotel or guesthouse through Booking.com or Airbnb upon arrival. Use those initial days to explore neighborhoods in person, test Wi-Fi speeds on your own laptop, and speak directly with property hosts for monthly rates. Direct monthly bookings typically save 30% to 50% compared to daily OTA listings.
