What does a psychiatrist consultation cost in Kathmandu?

An initial psychiatric consultation with Dr. Kushal Kharel costs NPR 800–1,500, depending on the complexity and length of the assessment. If you return for a follow-up within one week of your initial visit, that first follow-up is free. After that free follow-up (or once the one-week window has passed), a repeat consultation costs NPR 800. Medication is charged separately at the pharmacy and is not included in the consultation fee. Call or WhatsApp +977 9861800547 to confirm the current fee for your specific situation before booking.

Who this is for

  • Anyone comparing psychiatrists in Kathmandu and wanting to understand cost before booking
  • Patients unsure whether an initial visit costs more than a follow-up
  • Patients wanting to know if a quick follow-up after their first visit is free
  • Patients wondering whether medication costs are included in the consultation fee
  • Families budgeting for a child or adolescent's ongoing psychiatric care
  • Patients who need a fee estimate before requesting reimbursement or insurance documentation
In practice: the initial assessment is NPR 800–1,500 depending on complexity; if you come back within a week for a quick follow-up, that visit is free, once; after that, repeat consultations are NPR 800 each. Exact pricing for testing, certificates, or unusual situations is confirmed directly with the clinic before booking. If cost is a genuine barrier, mention this when you call — it's worth asking rather than avoiding care altogether.

What if I can't afford the standard consultation fee?

Mention this when you contact the clinic. It's worth asking directly rather than avoiding care altogether, and Dr. Kharel's community mental-health work includes free and low-cost outreach programmes in some settings.
