Mortgage Comparison: Nepal: Kathmandu vs Oman: Muscat!

Welcome to today's daily mortgage comparison! Giving you an idea of mortgage comparisons from all around the world ;D

Now here we have the Nepal, city of Kathmandu!,
Kathmandu is the capital and largest metropolitan city of Nepal. The city is the urban core of the Kathmandu Valley in the Himalayas, which also contains two sister cities namely Patan or Lalitpur, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to its southeast (an ancient city of fine arts and crafts) and Bhaktapur, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) to its east (city of devotees). It is also acronymed as 'KTM' and named 'tri-city'. Kathmandu valley is only slightly smaller than Singapore in terms of area.


Average House Price: $34,000
Average Mortgage:  $38,700



VS 


And here we have Oman, the city of Muscat!
Muscat is the capital of Oman. It is also the seat of government and largest city in the Governorate of Muscat. As of 2008, the population of the Muscat metropolitan area was 1,090,797. The metropolitan area spans approximately 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi) and includes six wilayats. Known since the early 1st century CE as an important trading port between the west and the east, Muscat was ruled by various indigenous tribes as well as foreign powers such as the Persians and the Portuguese Empire at various points in its history. A regional military power in the 18th century, Muscat's influence extended as far as East Africa and Zanzibar.

    Tough one. Nepal is pretty dirty and crowded but also lovable. Oman has an interesting political situation... I'd try both :)

    I'd love to visit Nepal, but I think I would rather live in Oman. Such a rich heritage.

    oh another hard one. I have a passion for being close to the sea so I like Muscat but being so close to the Himalayas in Kathmandu, Nepal is tempting.
