Kathmandukaa Dalaal ji haru,
People who visit sajha are primarily hard working students including those who are tying to make ends meet with small jobs. They cannot afford any half-a-million dollar bungalows in Kathmandu, and for this reason you may want to try visiting Nepali Netajis homes. They all have stashed lots up cash and will have no problem investing in your real-state market. Trust me, majority of Nepali in the US are way poorer than people in Nepal. We are just trying to make ends meet here, and we often struggle with our monthly rent, and your advertisements come to us as a big shock. I kindly urge you to go somewhere else, or look for add section in sajha. Even if anyone among us is rich enough to buy new homes in Kathmandu they should stop doing it immediately. Kathmandu is overcrowded and is a highly volatile geo-mass. It could hardly sustain the current population of the valley. People living in KTM don't have proper sanitation, fresh air and they are more prone to earthquake related disaster than people living anywhere else in the world. We need to decentralize opportunities in districts such as Kapilvastu, Bardiya, Kailali, Kanchanpur, and many other terai and pahad villages..STOP promoting land sales in the valley. Just think, what happens if everyone starts migrating to KTM ?? There will be nobody in rest of the country. Do you even know how difficult it is to transport day-today-commodities to Katmandu to sustain current population. Kathmandu has become a disaster. You need to look somewhere else. You can do this business elsewhere too.
I am not against your intention to make money, but I think dalaal jis need to stop indulging people in overburdened Kantipuri-nagari-fantasy. Why don't you guys promote land sale in other regions of the county? We need more schools, hospitals, roads elsewhere in the country and less people, houses in Kathmandu. We need to shift opportunities elsewhere too.
To the buyers, You may want to shift your interests in buying your new homes in other regions of Nepal, Nepal all in all, is a beautiful country. We can make it even more beautiful. If you have skills/education, please also contribute and help people living in other regions of the country. If you want to start new businesses, schools, colleges, please also consider doing them in other cities too. We need to stop this rajdhani-centered growth. If you already have one house, why do you need two or three or more. You could also explore other diverse sectors for investment. We need more small-scale industries. We need to invest in ideas that generate jobs and could prevent migration of poor people to gulf countries and help them provide employment in the country. Nepal's population density is extremely high compared to developed countries. We need to leave some land for agriculture/farming purposes too. Kathmandu used to be one of the most fertile places in the nation, now people in Kathmandu don't even get to see paddy plant in their lifetime. The current situation of every Nepali is that your level of success is measured with the number of houses you own in Kathmandu which is utterly sad.

H2S, I get your sentiments but let's not stop people from posting what they want to post. Yes, majority here are students but even they might want to assess the price of real estate currently; I can ensure you a lot others (like myself) are not students and have been contemplating investing back home.

The issue I have with those postings is that they could've supported Sajha.com by paying for the ads. Or, posted in classifieds if their million rupees commission couldn't afford them the ad fees. They chose to keep posting annoying sales thread pushing down the readers throat.

nice write up hydrogen.....tyo 5 karod ko ghar ek chhini ma ta typo po ho ki jasto lagyo...."0" badhi bhayechha ki jasto lagyo...haina rahechha.....

real estate is over inflated in ktm...

H2S,
Very nice post. Ujl had written people have high expectation from USA returnees. We are living abroad because we don't want to make dirty money or get a job by Nepotism. Nepal is run by mobs. For example, a construction contract is given to party who can beat (not bid) others. Politicians like Prachanda & Sons and government corrupt officials have money to squander on properties. I don't think a residential property that cost more than $100K is an investment unless you just do buy and sell to make profit out of it. You cannot payoff renting that home. Can somebody do math for me?

Thanks H2S for bringing this up. 100% agreed on your thoughts. I was also about to start one thread on this GHAR/JAGGA stuff in sajha. SAN Dai should do something about it. As they are dealing in KARODs... why not throw some tiny amount of Rs into sajha.com ad, if they "REALLY" wanna promote.

Well, when the $H!t we take (in those houses) gonna end up somewhere else rather than BAGMATI.... then we can talk more about this in sajha.

It's all about demand and supply. Almost everyone in villages (from pahads all the way to terais) who cannot go to gulf-countries want to move to Kathmandu. Even the ones who manages to save some money working in a foreign land wants to live in kathmandu. Now don't ask me why. I don't have many good reasons. So unless you can drive the demand by forcing supply of opportunities in other parts of the country, you will not see migration from kathmandu.

If you guys are shocked by house prices in kathmandu, consider automobile prices. I know a guy who used to drive a toyata land-cruiser that he paid 95 lakhs. After driving it around for 2 years, he sold it for 1 corore12 lakh to someone else. During my last visit to kathmandu, a guy was showing me some pictures of a black ducati belonging to his friend who paid 24 lakhs for it. He rides it at 30 km/hr in the valley :) And this dude was 28 years old.

Each time I visit Nepal (which I do once or twice a year), I am amazed to see the amount of money nepalese these days have. I don't know where the money comes from. Whatever is left as industry is also dying off. So what kind of industry does Nepal have, seriously? Are these mainly money from remittance? Have you noticed the number of new restaurants that open up every month in kathmandu? Nepalese have money and are willing to put money, but they are not getting things worth their money. If you want a good pair of jeans in kathmandu, you will end up going to one of the stores in Durbar Marg and pay Rs5000 ($50) and then get a fake pepe, lee, levis jeans made in Thailand that will tear up after 3 washes. You want to eat a good french meal, you go to Babar Mahal, pay Rs 3000 ($30) and end up getting a sh*** food which was probably worth Rs1000 at the most.

So yes people, nepalese have money to spend. I don't have the kind of money my friends back home have. And I am not sure what kind of business they do. Do their money grow on trees, I am not sure? All they do is talk about money.

And if you ever think about starting up a small scale industry in Nepal or invest in a new company, you are not aware of nepalese work culture. Nepalese workers are not used to working in a system. They are not disciplined. Your workers will ruin you and your mental health.
The farms are barren in villages with noone interested in farming any more. They want to drive taxis in the capital. They all want to go to Gulf countries and make Rs 30,000/month but are not willing to take a job in Nepal at Rs 20,000/month and work seriously.
