Pokhara's scenic beauty masks a mental health gap: the city has far fewer licensed therapists per capita than Kathmandu, leaving many residents with no local option. Digi Therapy gives Pokhara residents direct access to qualified therapists online — no travel to Kathmandu required.
Mental Health in Pokhara
Pokhara's economy is heavily tied to tourism and hospitality, industries defined by seasonal volatility and service-sector stress. The off-season brings economic anxiety; the high season brings burnout. The city also attracts a large population of trekking guides and adventure tourism workers who regularly experience near-miss trauma. Meanwhile, students at Pokhara University and staff at the Western Regional Hospital face high-pressure environments with minimal mental health support infrastructure.
