What is the Fastest, affordable, reliable home internet in Nepal

The consumer choices and quality for internet thats available in Kathmandu, Nepal has improved a lot. Whereas in the past this market was dominated by NTC and WLink, nowadays there are a lot of choices such as Vianet, Subisu, Ncell. 

I tried out Subisu's home cable internet and found it was quite good but I didn't get to test it for longer periods of time. I have also tested NTC's adsl and Wimax. NTC service seems to be good in during the morning and afternoon time but during the evenings the slow to a crawl.
This shows the speed to their local servers in Kathmandu
I had the opportunity to try out VIANET for 1 whole month and can say they provide one of the best internet quality with speed. All the setup and cabling is done by them for free during signup. They have a fiber optic network so its the best quality speed you will get compared to ADSL or Wireless services provided by other companies. 

Tests on Browsing websites, Videos, On-line gaming and VOIP communication

I was able to browse all websites with ease. Pages opened fast and were responding well.

Next I went on Youtube and opened up a few videos. Almost all of them load almost immediately and start playing with no to little buffering. I am impressed. Next I logged into my Netflix account (Yes, now netflix is available in Nepal). I tried to play a few TV shows and Movies. The results were quite good. It takes a few seconds after you hit the Play button, but once it loads, the videos from Netflix were streaming at HD quality without stopping to buffer. So that means you could watch even HD quality movies from Netflix. 

To test online gaming, I logged into Steam and downloaded Team Fortress 2, a multi-player realtime first person shooter game. I was able to play the game with no lag. The gameplay was smooth. Very good.

Internet voice and video chats via Viber, Skype seemed to also perform well with little to no disruption. 



VIANET also provide customers with an app where you can monitor how much internet bandwidth you have consumed. My only concern with VIANET is how they measure the data consumed. It seems to be a bit on the high side. I was getting an average of 1 GB daily consumption with just regular internet usage. That cant be possible. However they are quite generous with their packages that even with 1GB per day you would be under their usage limit, so you should be fine. (I need to double check this)

Overall I was pleased with the quality of VIANET's performance.  

Here are the speed test results showing that the performance is good.

Speed while browsing the web for most websites





As you can see from the screenshots, the Download and Upload speeds are quite good. The ping is also around 60 - 100 which is good for real-time online data exchange. 

The pricing starts at Rs 14,820 for 1 year service with 840 GB data of High Speed data (2Mbps) and unlimited Slower internet(512 Kbps). So if you calculated it monthly your cost comes to Rs 1235 per monthly with 70GB data of high speed included monthly. 


Rating 9 / 10 
(I deducted 1 point for them not counting the data usage properly)

Mount Everest (Sagarmatha) Highest mountain of the world

Image
Mount Everest The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. Its peak rises to 8,848 m (29,028 ft 9 in) – the highest point in the world. First known as Peak XV on the Tibet - Nepal border, it was discovered to be the world's highest mountain in 1856 by the Survey Department of the Government of India, from theodolite readings taken in 1849 and 1850. Its height was calculated to be 8,840 m 29,002 ft. The mountain was named after Col. Sir George Everest (UK), who was Surveyor-General of India from 1830 to 1843, and who, in fact, pronounced his name 'Eve-rest' as opposed to 'Ever-est'. Mount Everest is also known by the Tibetan name Chomolungma (Goddess Mother of the World) and by the Nepali name Sagarmatha (Forehead in the Sky). Many human triumphs and tragedies have been played out on Everest's slopes. George Mallory (UK) was one of the first to lead an expedition to climb the peak, in 1921. He perished not far from the s

Children in Nepal | No life for a child: The grim reality of Nepal's child laborers

Image
As you can imagine, being a child in Nepal can be very difficult. So much so that statistics tell us that many children in Nepal still do not live to see their fifth birthday. Here are some statistics regarding Nepal from the UNICEF web site: More than 50,000 children die in Nepal each year, with malnutrition as the underlying cause for more than 60 per cent of these deaths. Half of the children in Nepal are underweight and three-fourths of the pregnant women are anaemic. The detection of a few cases of wild polio virus in 2005, following five years without any case, indicates the challenge for cross-border transmission along the border with India. Fifteen per cent of Nepal’s wells are contaminated by arsenic. Despite Nepal's high overall coverage of accessibility to drinking water, access to improved water for deprived, disadvantaged communities and conflict-affected rural and fringe urban areas remains low.

Smart Driving Licenses to reduce fraud and illegal activity in Nepal

Image
Nepal has now started issuing its so called "Smart Driving License". Good The  (DOTM) Department of Transport Management has been bringing its long-planned smart driving license and will eventually replace all paper driving licenses currently in use. The latest issued driving licenses are very similar to bank ATM cards. They have in them an electronic chip which stores driver’s name, address, vehicle information and others. The DOTM has also moved all the old driving license data to a digital platform. According to news reports, the department plans to complete replacing the technology enabled licence within three to five years. Till date, the DoTM has issued around 2 million driving licences, out of which around 1.5 million are estimated to be active.  The introduction of the so called "Smart License" is said to reduce mismanagement among DOTM employees and other issues related to fake driving licenses.  The DoTM initiati

What you see and know Surprises in Nepal | Nepal Tourism

Image
Everyone knows trekking is the best on the planet in Nepal. It’s a great, cheap destination for people wanting to travel on a budget, volunteer, do spiritual retreats, etc. But there are a few surprises that I hope will put Nepal on the radar for you. Knowing what to expect will help you find your way around obstacles so you to enjoy Nepal more. One of the first things I saw after arriving in Nepal was how many military personnel there were standing around just about everywhere I looked. They were in full combat gear, including SWAT shields and riffles. Being from the US, this was a disconcerting sight for me. They just looked like they were waiting for trouble to erupt. That was in December 2010 and as far as I know they are still waiting because I haven’t noticed much trouble.  Nepal has come through some difficult times in the past decade or so, which brought a civil war and Maoists getting into power. They made a lot of promises, but it seems the people chose a

What is definitely worth tasting on the Everest Base Camp Trek? At some point during the Everest trek and during your time in Nepal, I definitely recommend tasting the traditional Nepalese food Dal Bhaat which is made from boiled rice with a special sauce and vegetable. There are many variations on the Dal Bhaat filling and its taste will depend on the landlady’s ingredients. Dal Bhaat is eaten with your hands. It’s a nourishing, natural and tasty food.

Panauti Panauti Village is a small town located 32 km south-east of  Kathmandu . It is one of the oldest towns in Nepal.

The town is located junction of two holy rivers of Roshi Khola and PungamatiKholaa.  Panauti Village is filled with ancient temples and settlements.

Local Style : Traditional costume of Nepal | Beautiful Nepalese Traditional Dresses

Image
Traditional costume of Nepal Talking about traditional costume of Nepal it would be right to say not "costume" but "costumes" because though Nepal is a small country there are many ethnic groups living here and each group has their unique traditional dress. I will tell about a few that I find most interesting. The Newars . This ethnic group has many different styles of dress among themselves but there is one common thing - they prefer combinations of black and red colours. The most common seen Newar woman's dress is the   hakku potashi , a black sari with red borders. Young girls wear it knee level,  but older women prefer to completely cover their legs. The sari is complimented by a white   patuka  wrapped aroud the waist and a cotton shawl wrapped diagonally over the blouse. Men wear a double-breasted shirt ( daura ) with flaps fastened by ties diagonally across the chest, and tight trousers called  suruwal . The costume c
