Some Features of Kataho
Precise. Simple. Your Address, Anytime, Anywhere
The Kataho Addressing System is versatile and can be applied in a variety of ways to simplify navigation, communication, and coordination.
As An Individual.
Your Address, Wherever You Go. Kataho ensures your address always stays with you, no matter where you are. Even in crowded areas like Asan Bazaar or remote locations with no signage, you can easily share your location using a few simple, memorable words. These word-based addresses are easy to remember, write, and search—making navigation effortless without relying on landmarks or complex directions. With Kataho, meeting people, finding places, and sharing locations becomes fast, accurate, and stress-free.
As A Business.
End repeated directions forever. Tired of explaining directions like “from the narrow road near Peepal Bot, opposite the tall tower” again and again? Kataho eliminates this problem completely. By assigning a unique Kataho address to your business, customers can reach you directly—without phone calls, confusion, or missed turns. A single Kataho code ensures accurate arrival, improves customer experience, and enhances business visibility.
As A Delivery Company.
Precision that saves time and cost. The delivery industry depends heavily on the question “Kataho?”—and Kataho delivers the answer. With a location precision of 9.8 square meters, delivery personnel can reach the exact destination without making confirmation calls. Even properties smaller than one aana can have a unique address. This drastically reduces delivery time, fuel consumption, and driver distraction, ensuring faster, safer, and more reliable logistics operations.
As A Ride Sharing Company.
Accurate pickups and drop-offs without maps. Many riders are not comfortable using maps and often give vague directions like “near the temple in Baneshwor.” Kataho solves this ambiguity by pinpointing exact locations using a few simple words—even for homes like sasurali or mamaghar. Riders don’t need map literacy or constant internet access, and dispatch systems can assign drivers accurately based on Kataho codes for seamless pickups and drop-offs.
As An Emergency Services.
Finding people when landmarks fail. In emergencies, reliance on landmarks can be fatal—especially during disasters like earthquakes when landmarks may collapse. Kataho provides a permanent address for every spot, independent of physical structures. When calling emergency numbers like 100 or 101, responders can reach victims faster using precise Kataho codes, dramatically improving response time and saving lives.
As A Local Government.
Stronger public safety and citizen engagement. Kataho empowers local governments with an Emergency Response Console (ERC) that allows citizens to request help at the press of a button for security, fire, or medical emergencies. The Citizen’s Eye feature enables people across Nepal to report issues such as black market activity, accidents, or infrastructure problems. These tools strengthen trust, improve response efficiency, and encourage citizens to actively participate in community safety and governance.
As A Traveler/ Hiker.
Reliable location sharing beyond civilization. Traditional house numbers and landmarks fail in jungles, hills, lakes, and trekking routes. Kataho assigns precise location codes to every grid—anywhere on Earth. Whether you’re deep in the forest, on a mountain peak, or in the middle of a lake, you can share your exact location instantly for navigation, safety, or rescue.
As A Tourist.
Nepal receives around a million tourists each year. For most of them, identifying location/ address is always a painful matter due to the language barriers and insufficient signage. As Most of the landmarks are named in the Nepali language foreigners cannot understand it well. The limited places are marked in foreign language. In view of this, applying Kataho can help them to identify proper location of the place where they wish to visit and during emergency they can use it easily for rescue and other necessary support.
As A News Reporter.
The Kataho app enables reporters to pinpoint and report on specific locations, even in remote areas with no traditional addressing systems. This is especially valuable for covering events or incidents in rural regions where precise location data is often unavailable. Reporters can easily share location codes or embed maps in their articles to provide better context and clarity for readers. In emergency situations, the app helps reporters communicate accurate location details to emergency services, improving response times. Overall, Kataho enhances storytelling by offering location-based context that deepens reader understanding of the events being reported.
As An Urban Planner.
Smarter cities through precise addressing. Kataho supports urban planners by providing accurate, grid-based addresses for every structure, ensuring complete and consistent city mapping. It enhances emergency planning, infrastructure development, transportation design, and land-use analysis. By enabling seamless collaboration between planners, developers, communities, and emergency services, Kataho streamlines planning and supports sustainable urban growth.
As A Surveyor.
As a surveyor, the Kataho app enhances my ability to accurately and precisely identify and measure locations using grid-based addresses, ensuring my data is reliable and consistent. The app also improves communication and collaboration with urban planners, developers, and emergency services, allowing for seamless sharing of location data and real-time project coordination. By providing precise location details, Kataho helps in better data collection and analysis, such as identifying development opportunities, studying traffic patterns, or assessing land use. Additionally, it ensures my safety in potentially hazardous or unfamiliar areas, as I can easily pinpoint my location and communicate it to others in case of an emergency. This app streamlines my workflow and ensures more accurate, efficient, and safe surveying.
Bank Finance/ Telecom Form Fill Up:
No more hand-drawn maps. Filling bank forms or applying for SIM cards often requires drawing a location map—something most people struggle to do accurately. Kataho replaces unreliable sketches with a simple word-based address. Customers only need to remember a few words, and service providers can locate them precisely, ensuring faster verification and better service delivery.
Boarder Pillar Management:
Protecting national boundaries with precision. Border pillars are often displaced due to natural or man-made causes, leading to disputes and encroachment. Kataho enables precise mapping of every border pillar with unique digital location codes, allowing authorities to restore them to their exact original positions. This improves border management, reduces conflicts, and supports stronger diplomatic relations through accurate, transparent boundary documentation.
As A Politician
Politicians can use the Kataho location service to assign accurate addresses to key locations, ensuring their projects are easily identifiable. When a politician launches a project, placing a plate with the Kataho location code ensures their name and initiative are remembered by the public. This also helps in tracking the progress of projects, making it easier for constituents to locate and access important facilities. The precise location data improves communication and accountability, as citizens can quickly report issues or access services. Ultimately, Kataho helps politicians leave a lasting impact by providing a clear and memorable way to connect with the community.
