Cost of living

Inflation over the last year has been calculated to be 13.2%

I would have guessed the inflation to be a bit higher, more about 20%, at least for food stuff, but I guess inflation calculations are about more then just food stuffs...

Do your maths on last years prices, and you'll have a fair indication of the prices for this year...

For most foreigners living in Nepal the fluctuations of the Nepali rupee against the Euro or the Dollar hurt more then the inflation rate.

Hi all

What is the cost of living in Nepal , life of average comfort, that's of current year. I read the post of last year but heard that current year prices are much higher than the last year.

Dear Vish,
The cost of living here in Nepal has increased than last year..but no so high,,you may get a flat rent in general Rs 10,000 to 15,000 for simple living and Rs 20,000 for food and trasportation in Kathmandu..it is simple living..not luxurious one..you may get a pizza Rs 400 to 600 range (NRs) and a beer cost 200 to 300 in  a moderate restaurant.

Thanks,,welcome in Nepal

Hello Pashupati,
If you are offering internship, you might want to insert an ad in Nepal's Classifieds -> Jobs, Internship.
