Feeling overwhelmed or experiencing culture shock is normal, especially in busy cities like Kathmandu. Noise, traffic, crowds, and different routines can be intense at first.
Taking breaks, finding quiet cafés or parks, and slowing down your schedule helps. Many travellers find that leaving the city for Pokhara or hill towns provides relief and balance.
Adjusting expectations and giving yourself time usually turns initial discomfort into appreciation.
