Very interesting information:

A 5-member family’s per month consumption of energy (in terms of rupees) in Nepal:

10 years before: Kerosene – Rs 180; LP Gas- Rs 465; Electricity- Rs 600

5 Years before:   Kerosene- Rs 410; LP Gas- Rs 510; Electricity- Rs 788

Now:    Kerosene- Rs 1,090, LP Gas- Rs 845; Electricity- Rs 788

Electricity price in Nepal was considered one of the most expensive in the world. However, given the skyrocketing of the fossil fuel energy in the past few years, we can see how the prices have flipped in the Nepalese market.

Mailey sunya anusaar ta 1 cylinder gyas ko bhau Rs. 1100 bhayo re. 

1 cylinder ko 1200 re.

Mahangai badhdo cha.....

Kerosene liter ko Rs. 70 pugyo.

Jeera Masino chaamal kilo ko Rs. 50.

Does this factor in the 7-8 hours of load-shedding?.

We are practically using at least 30% less electricity and paying same as 5 years earlier..

to me gas prices and its rippling effects in the US makes more sense then rs1200 ko gas ray.....
