Hey everyone,
My wife (25 yo), my son (2yo), my daughter (5mo) and I (24yo) will be moving to Nepal on January and I am trying to figure out a monthly budget for us to live there. So far I have decided to try with 180,000NPR / month.
However, I am very lost regarding hospital fees. I see some people say that hospitals are very very expensive because they charge you the westerner fee and some other people say it's dirt cheap. Would you guys mind giving me a few examples of what it costs to visit the doctor for a cold / flu, getting an x-ray and cast for a broken arm, etc.? Do you recommend getting a health insurance such as Cigna Global or just approach it with the "pay-as-you-go" method?
Also, do you think 180,000 NPR will be enough for living in the Patan area? Besides these 180K I will put aside a few hundred bucks for savings/emergencies/flight tickets back home, so those are not included in the 180K.
Thank you very much to everyone in this forum, all your input and recommendations are highly valuable to us.
