Equipment Rental in Nepal for Filmmakers: Everything You Need to Know

Film Equipment Rental in Nepal

When you’re planning a film shoot, one of the biggest questions is: “Should I bring my own gear or rent locally?”

If you’re coming to Nepal, the answer is: yes, you can absolutely rent professional film equipment here — and we’ll make the process smooth and stress-free.

We are Fixer in Nepal, and we’ve worked with international filmmakers for years. We know what gear you need, what challenges you might face, and how to keep your shoot running smoothly. Renting locally is often smarter, easier, and more affordable than flying everything in.
