Methodology

Source. Active listings published by verified landlords on Kotha Chaiyo. These are advertised asking rents, not signed contract values.

Statistic. We report the median rather than the mean, because with modest sample sizes a single unusually priced listing would distort an average.

Sample threshold. Any figure based on fewer than 3listings is withheld and shown as “—”. Sample sizes (n) are printed next to every published figure so you can judge them yourself.

Coverage. This reflects supply on one platform, not the whole Nepali rental market. Treat it as an indicator that improves as listing volume grows, not a national statistic.

Updated. Recalculated daily from live listings. Last run July 30, 2026.
