The Ultimate Checklist for Moving to a New Flat in Lalitpur

Lalitpur (Patan), known for its rich cultural heritage, beautiful courtyards, and expanding modern neighborhoods like Sanepa and Jhamsikhel, is a highly desirable place to live. If you are planning a move to this historic city, use this ultimate checklist to stay organized.

4 Weeks Before the Move

• Declutter: Sort your belongings. Donate clothes to local charities or sell unwanted furniture on platforms like Hamrobazaar.
• Get Quotes: Contact at least two moving companies (including Nepal Packers and Movers) to secure an estimate for shifting to Lalitpur.
• Notify Landlords: Give your current landlord the required notice (usually 1 month in Nepal) to ensure you get your security deposit back.

2 Weeks Before the Move

• Start Packing Non-Essentials: Begin packing books, out-of-season clothing, and decorations.
• Transfer Utilities / Internet: Contact your ISP (WorldLink, Vianet, ClassicTech, etc.) to schedule an internet connection shift to your new Lalitpur address. This is crucial as shifting connections in Nepal can take a few days.
• Update Mailing Address: Inform your bank, employer, and any subscription services of your upcoming change of address.

The Week of the Move

• Deep Clean: Clean the old apartment, or hire a local cleaning agency to do it for you.
• Pack an 'Essentials Kit': Prepare a bag with items you will need on day one—toiletries, a change of clothes, phone chargers, snacks, and basic tools.
• Confirm Logistics: Call your packers and movers to confirm the arrival time, truck size, and exact Lalitpur destination address. Ensure they have the correct Google Maps pin.
