Kathmandu has the biggest choice of coworking spaces in Nepal, from café-style desks in Thamel to serviced offices in Kamaladi and private, members-first spaces on the Ring Road. Whether you're a remote engineer, a startup founder, a freelancer or a team that has outgrown a home office, there's a shared workspace for you. The hard part is telling them apart.
We've listed every coworking space in Kathmandu we could verify, with the things that matter most here: power backup during outages, a second internet line, meeting rooms for calls, parking, weekend opening and prices. Spaces are ranked by an 8-point checklist; use the filters to narrow the list.
Private coworking for tech builders, with dual fibre, generator backup and a second screen at every desk.
Traffic in Kathmandu can turn a short trip into an hour, so picking a coworking space near home or on an easy route matters as much as the desk itself.
On the Ring Road between Kalanki and Lalitpur, Balkhu is easy to reach from Kirtipur, Kuleshwor, Kalimati and Patan without crossing the city centre. It's home to Engineer in Residence, a private coworking space with generator backup, dual fibre, parking and open every day, 9 AM – 6 PM.
Kathmandu's tourist district is full of cafés, so it suits travellers and short stays. Expect a lively, sometimes noisy setting and limited parking.
The central office belt near the embassies and Durbar Marg. Good for client meetings and corporate addresses, but parking and traffic can be tough at peak hours.
Kathmandu's business and college district along the main road to the airport, with plenty of offices, banks and food options.
Residential neighbourhoods with smaller, budget-friendly spaces close to home for people living in the north and east of the city.
