Today’s Nepal has a great shortage of electric power. They are forced to cut off the supply for many hours each day. I expected that it applies only to the province, but now I know that also the capital is affected. Most of the people here do not know the schedule, but I investigated the problem and here is valuable info for you:
On Sunday you can expect the power till 8am and then18 to 23h
Mon till 6am and then13-17 and after 22
Tue till 5am and 12-15 and after 21h
Wed till 4am and 10-14 and after19h
Thu 9-13 and after 18h
Fri till 10am and 17-19h
Sat till 9am and 15-18h also after 23h
But this is only the theory… just a guideline.
In Kathmandu I stay in Potala Tourist Home in side alley from Tridevi Marg – just 100 m from lengendary Thamel. It is very good location and they charge only 10 USD per room with bath. Book via booking.com –
After arrival it is still possible to negociate the price and to make the choice of the most convenient room. Beds here are hard like in China, but it could be good for your backbone after elephant riding 🙂
