Most intern abroad programs will help you to find accommodations in Kathmandu, and are viable to organize some sort of group living with other foreign interns as well. Homestays are a popular option too. Expect to be made comfortable but do not expect many Western luxuries to be made available. You will acclimate to living a simpler lifestyle in no time, and find it to be less stressful than the Western world in many ways.

A tourist visa for up to 90 days can easily be obtained upon arrival at the Kathmandu airport. Just carry enough cash on you to prevent wrestling with a Nepalese ATM from being your first experience abroad. For more specifics on the different types of visas required of foreign nationals, consult our Embassy Directory.
