About These Guides

Merokalam publishes practical, plain-language guides for the questions Nepalis in Nepal and abroad actually search for - government paperwork, banking and money, legal processes, education and career steps, Nepali typing, and everyday life. Every guide is written to be used, not just read: clear steps, current fees and rules where they apply, and links to the tool or next guide you'll likely need.

Guides are updated when rules, fees or processes change. Always confirm time-sensitive details (fees, deadlines, exact procedures) with the relevant official source before acting - see our disclaimer for more.
