Nepal is a country of contrasts: deeply rooted traditions meet a dynamic young society, cultural diversity encounters political uncertainty, and breathtaking landscapes stand alongside everyday challenges. This book shows what life and work in Nepal really feel like - beyond romantic notions and superficial observations. It explains the social and legal order, highlights economic opportunities, describes regional characteristics and guides readers through the everyday structures that are crucial for foreigners. The result is a multi-layered picture of a country that is challenging, inspiring and full of possibilities. Living and Working in Nepal is a compact, clear and yet profound guide for anyone who wants to understand Nepal - not just as a travel destination, but as a place to live.
