How Sajha Works

A quick tour of everything you can do here - pick the tab that fits you, or just browse all three.

Sajha Community is a free hub for Nepalis at home and abroad - discuss what matters, buy and sell locally, plan events together, and find trusted service providers, all in one place.

Community News

Start or join a discussion. React with a tap (like, love, laugh, wow, namaste), reply with a quick phrase, share a photo or a YouTube link, or add a poll to your post.

Browse Community News Post something

Classifieds

Buy, sell, find a room, or find a job. Save a search to get emailed when something new matches, favorite listings you like, and mark your own as sold once it's gone.

Browse Classifieds Post a listing

Events

See what's happening nearby, tap "I'm going," and add it to your calendar. A festival badge shows when an event falls during Dashain, Tihar, or another Nepali festival.

Browse Events Create an event

Service Providers

Find restaurants, shops and service businesses recommended by the community, read or leave a review, and get directions with the map on each listing.

Requests

Have a problem or need - a leaky faucet, a tax question, moving help? Post it and let local vendors send you quotes.

Browse Requests Post a request

Community Sites

Nepali associations and organizations get their own page for news, events, officers and documents - all still visible in the regular news and events lists too.

Pick your region from the top of any page to see local content first, or choose Global to see everything. Switch the whole site to Nepali any time with the language toggle in the header.

Getting started: register with your email or with Google, verify your email address, and you're in. A phone number is required on every account so other members can reach you if needed. Create your account

"I study here"

Opt in on your college's page to show your name to other logged-in members so they can say hi - private by default, and only a headcount is ever shown publicly.

Roommates and airport pickup

Post a Room/Roommates listing near your school, or a free "landing at the airport, need or offering a ride" post - those two categories are always free to post.
