Best for: Trek-heavy stays in Kathmandu and Pokhara on monsoon-aware schedules.

Nepal caps tourist days at 150 per calendar year, which makes the country a 5-month-max destination for nomads using the standard route. Kathmandu has the bones of a city base; Pokhara is the lakeside slow-pace alternative. The infrastructure (power, internet) is improving but not reliable enough for high-stakes work calls; treat it as a partial-base, not a year-round one.

Visa story

Tourist visa on arrival (15/30/90 days, max 150/year); no DNV.

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
