The cost of living in Nepal is generally low compared to many Western countries. Basic necessities like food and housing are relatively affordable, but prices can vary depending on the region and proximity to tourist areas.

Nepal's climate varies with its topography and altitude, ranging from the tropical to the arctic. The low-land Terai region in the southern part of the country has a hot and humid climate that can reach up to 40°C in summer. The mid-land regions are pleasant almost all year round, although winter nights are cool. The northern mountain regions experience alpine climate with considerably lower temperatures in winter, especially at altitudes above 3,300 meters where it can also snow.

The educational system in Nepal is structured into various levels: pre-primary, primary, lower secondary, secondary, and higher secondary. Education in Nepal is overseen by the Ministry of Education and is provided by both public and private institutions. The academic year in Nepal typically starts in April or May and ends in March. Pre-primary education, also known as ECD (Early Childhood Development), is for children aged 3 to 5. Primary education begins at age 6 and spans from grade 1 to 5. Lower secondary education covers grades 6 to 8, and secondary education includes grades 9 and 10, culminating in the School Leaving Certificate (SLC) exams, which are crucial for further education. After successfully passing the SLC, students can enroll in higher secondary education, which is grades 11 and 12, also known as +2. This level offers a variety of streams such as science, commerce, arts, and vocational studies. The quality of education can vary significantly, with private schools generally offering better facilities and learning environments compared to under-resourced government schools. English is often the medium of instruction in private schools, while government schools teach in Nepali. The school system in Nepal has been improving over the years, with increasing literacy rates and government efforts to ensure education for all, but challenges such as infrastructure, quality of teaching, and access in rural areas persist.
