Pokhara's utility infrastructure is managed by national and local authorities. Electricity is supplied by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and is largely generated by the country's extensive hydroelectric grid, providing generally reliable power compared to past decades.
Water supply is managed by local authorities (like KUKL) and supplemented heavily by household borewells and private water tankers, as municipal supply struggles to keep pace with urban sprawl. Waste management is handled by the municipality, utilizing a newly developed sanitary landfill site.
Telecommunications are robust. National providers Nepal Telecom (NTC) and Ncell offer extensive 4G and growing 5G cellular coverage. Broadband internet is widespread, with major ISPs like WorldLink, Vianet, and Classic Tech providing high-speed fiber-optic connections to homes and businesses across the metropolitan area.
